This happened to me also, have no idea what the mechanism is/was - but it still pisses me off. I can confirm this. I switched from liquid to foam 3 years ago and almost immediatley I noticed a ton of shedding that never grew back. However I havent noticed any loss since.

This happened to me before, actually think I'm in the middle of one today - absolutely sucks, I guess patience and make sure you stay on Propecia/Rogaine are our only options... Best of luck.

You need a large (possibly) two strip sessions and then you can do FUE to work in between to increase density. I know this isn't what you want to hear, however it is the truth. Note: Before my first HT, I had a relatively full crown and mid-scalp, and after 2000 FUT and 1000 FUE, I probably could use 2-3000 more to be happy.

No relationship to hormonal or sexual issues.

Hi Davis, I use Organin, it's much cheaper for me - do a search. best

Go to a cheaper part of the country for a HT... In NYC $10 will buy you a hot dog if your lucky and the vendor has day olds.

Very few of us here have actual clinical research experience (ie., drug development), it is extremely rigourous to get thru Phase I, II, III clinical trials...For a REASON!!! Demonstration of Safety and Efficacy must be both clinical and statistical, that is why I really have a very difficult time with docs charging the study subject for treatments which have at best in vitro or anectdotal evidence (e.g., PRP). HM needs another 10-15 years of development and probably an infusion of over a billion dollars or more of investment money before it has a chance of reaching the market. I did not say the Study Subject pays the BILLION dollars, that is the risk of the investor.

Yay, another pay to play clinical trial.

Stay on Propecia/Rogaine. You may lose the hairs you have in the front during the HT process...sorry. Wait.

"In God We Trust, All Others Must Bring Data"

TheBoom, Congratulations on such good results - I am sure you are very happy. Although you state your opinion above, I would argue that 1) Age is a huge factor in whether you should have a HT 2)"the younger you are, the better you'll feel about the results" is completely false, someday you will understand. 3) "The most important key is just to choose the RIGHT Dr." should be conditioned with, and you are the RIGHT patient!

Despite your well thought out theory, shock loss is unpredictable - personally even with the best doctor I would count on it occuring; perhaps temporarily.

RG, Congratulations on a great transformation, as it continues to thicken you will even look better! Best wishes.

Strip out then FUE - I'm sure you know this.

Do this: Open Internet Browser type www.google.com insert Dr. Feller and hair You will thank me best of luck.

The only one that can answer this is your doc, and even then there is a paucity of data on this issue. You would be a test subject.

Pick a Coalition doc and you are more likely to be on the right side of the curve...

I saw God!

Happy Thanksgiving my hairy friends! I heard Turkey grows hair? there was a study in the Journal of Hirsutism that showed a 20% increase in just one week of high turkey breast intake...I'm going to eat a ton today!

Ummm on October 22, 2009 you posted you just had a hair-transplant a month ago? http://hair-restoration-info.c...=405107054#405107054 You might want to think about this one...kthxbye~!

Take it from another slow grower, you are very very early in the process, I bet in the next two months your growth will start to take off. Best of luck.

Haha, I expected no less from you guys! I made sure I chose my words very carefully..."older" not old! Your all young PuPs with great hair! Fantastic cake Bill, now we can say we are on Finasteride and Viagra, two best selling drugs among the elderly... We live in a great period of time. Enjoy.

Thanks B-Spot/Bill for your kind words. My opinion is that, in general, between Bill and Pat, and many of the great clinic reps we have here - the 30ish+ posters have a great resource with regards to both medical and the psychological aspects of hair loss and transplantation. I believe a younger member such as Thana would bring a great deal to the table for those who are in their early 20s who are struggling with their decision to either have or who have had a hair transplant (not to say the slightly older folks like Bill/Pat, B-Spot, etc are not wonderful resources). Best of luck to all who are interested.

If it is meant to be, your hair won't matter one iota... Please try to enjoy these young years and not worry too much about your hair, many of us (in hindsight) realize we spent way too much time focusing on our hair (when it looked great like yours), rather than just having fun. Is she hot? Pics? lol (j/k - maybe!)
