I know, I am loosing my other hair. But maybe Propecia will buy me a few years. -
New photos... In addition to the hairs you can see, there are a bunch you cannot (about half). I have both stubble and quite a few very fine hairs appearing.
-
I will update with photos in two weeks approximately. On the 5-month mark.
-
Hair growth is increasing.
-
So much for that vow. I guess it can't be helped. At least I am looking less than before.
-
Probably a stupid question...
TheMirrorOfDreams replied to TheMirrorOfDreams's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thank you one and all! I kinda already knew the answer to my question, but I guess it can't be helped. "Trouble Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble Trouble been doggin' my soul Since the day I was born Worry Worry, worry, worry, worry Worry just will not seem to leave My mind alone" ... if you catch my drift. -
How come the individual hairs grow at different cycles? Why do they not all come in at once? I take it this is completely normal...? I am now 4 months and 8 days post-op hair transplant (FUT) surgery (2000 grafts/3500 hairs), and I am seeing new hairs coming in, but nothing too impressive. Should I be worried? I am seeing 300-500 hairs at most. My head still looks very bare, some areas more than others. Thanks in advance!

Were you aware of this? "The explanation is that the genetic reason for Pattern Baldness is linked to your mother's X-Chromosome. Everyone get one-half of their genetic make-up from their mother and their father. The final chromosome pair of the 23 pairs is the sex determining set. While males are XY and females are XX the determination of an individuals sex is made by the father. It is the father who gives either the X chromosome, which matches with the woman’s X resulting in XX and a female child or the Y chromosome which joins with the woman’s X resulting in an XY match and a male child. It is the X chromosome or female sex chromosome that contains the gene for Male Pattern Baldness. Since men have only one X chromosome, the gene for baldness is a single expression gene that shows up because there is no possible dominant gene to suppress what would normally be a recessive or hidden characteristic. Since Male Pattern Baldness gene is only on the X chromosome and men can only get that chromosome from their mothers, it is simple to see how this type of baldness is passed from mother to son."

Oh, I see. I guess my hair is growing in relatively even, not like one side has significantly more hair than the other or the middle part for that matter. Thanks for responding!
-
I have made a vow not to look at my hair at all for the next 3 coming weeks.
-
Right you are. I will try my best not to look, as pedantically. Is it normal for the hair to grow in unevenly? Some places have more hair than others.
-
Please refer to my latest post. I am experiencing new growth
-
New pimples, new hair. Things are starting to look up. AT LONG LAST!
-
4 months it has now been. The growth is starting to kick in. Not as much as I had hoped, but I still have a long way to go. Next photo update will be in one month exactly.
-
I wouldn't say a great number of hairs, but quite a few new are piercing through my scalp. 100+-
-
Thanks for the reassurance.
-
I remember. I think now I have reached maybe 15%.
-
I am seeing new small hairs breaking the surface though. When do "slow growers" usually experience the most growth, or the start of it?
-
In three days time, month 4.
-
The results thus far are not impressive, at any rate, at least so I think.
-
Can't see to get the camera to focus properly, as there are many smaller hairs it does not pick up. There is much more growth than the picture implies.
-
The hair that fell out, caused by the shockloss, is starting to come back.
-
Thanks. I keep comparing my results with other people, and constantly worry things may not work out in the end. I am generally a pretty patient person, but this is a bit over the top for me. I might have somewhere between 200-500 new hairs now. Is that pretty much on schedule, or does it seem scarce?
-
Those were the numbers my doctor gave me... by the way, is it normal to see only a few hairs surfacing at a time, and not all at once?
-
The new hairline is forming, that I can see clearly. But according to the general hair transplant post op growth timeline, it says 4 months equals to approximately 25% in total. I'd say I have reached at the very most 15% thus far. I do know the chart is no more than just a general rule of thumb, and that it does not fit the case of all people. How much density can one expect from 2000 grafts/3500 hairs (35 grafts per square centimeter)?
