  1. Hi Vinit. I started off by taking 1mg finsteride over a week. so that 0.25mg 4 times a week. I noticed the sideeffects almost immediately but kept taking the same dose for 2 months. i stopped taking it in dec 2014 when i realized the sides weren't going away. Its been 9 months now and i still havent fully recovered. i think my erections are harder now but they still arent what they used to be before i started taking the pills. and sometimes i get soft erections. i have regular sex though although my libido has definitely gone down. so my advice, be careful with those meds.
  2. hi all. i started taking fin in mid September. i only took .25mg twice a week. That's 1mg pill in 2 weeks. my plan was to keep this dose for 2-3 months until the side effects eased or went away. so i only took 6 pills in all 3 months in and the side were still there. only soft erections. i would sometimes get hard erections but they wouldn't last. so i decided to stop taking it. I took the last dose on 21st dec 2014. today is 10th Jan and im still experiencing sides. i think i get more frequent morning wood since quitting but im not sure. maybe its just wishful thinking. i get some what hard morning woods but again, they don't last. and im pretty sure there has been a slight decrease in the length and the girth. will this go away? its really scary.
  3. Hi. Thanks for replying. Yeah in pic 2 the hair is combed over. I did that since the scalp was showing slightly which wasn't the case 3months back. There was absolutely no sign of thinning there and the hair density was normal. But as I said , I've been experiencing major hair fall and now the scalp is visible. What I'm asking is could this shedding be unrelated to the FUT procedure and will the hair come back? About propecia, i started a dose of .5mg every day and got sides within a week(ED, watery semen, less libido). I freaked out and stopped it at that very moment. This was about 7months back. I'm want to start again but I'm scared. Also since I'm already shedding, I don't want initial propecia shedding to compound to the problem. I'm not sure what I'm doing is right but I sure as hell Don't want more hair falling out.
  4. Hi guys im 25 years old and started thinning at around 21. Although there is no bald patch(yet) but my crown area has thinned and the scalp is visible. This has bugged me a lot and it is impossible for me to go out without using toppik. so I had a FUT procedure done here in India on 8th may from the same surgeon(Advance Hair Studio) who transplanted 3000 hairs(FUT) on my father's hairline. And the result is pretty impressive. Now the surgeon transplanted 3000 hairs on my crown area. Like i said, my crown isnt totally bald and so the hair were transplanted between native hairs. so the surgeon had trimmed the native hair a bit. I didnt want him to shave it off even though I was aware of potential shockloss. the procedure went fine but after 1.5-2 months, Im losing lot of hair everyday. Wierd thing is that i have compared the pics taken before the procedure(after trimming the crown area) and 1 and 2 months post op and there doesnt seem to be much difference in the crown area. its pretty much the same. No or very little shockloss but the hair is falling off from all over the head. even in the area that wasnt touched during the surgery. i can see the scalp in the area right behind the hairline. and there were no sign of thinning in that area before the surgery. also, the hair is falling from the part where the hair is genetically resistant to DHT. Im scared to touch my hair now. I dont even wash it everyday since washing and combing will just make more hair fall out. Ive also noticed that most hair that are falling out are thick and there is no sign of thinning. I went to meet the surgeon and he told me that this hairfall isnt related to the transplant since the recepient area and the donor area still look the same. He said that this is nothing to worry about and its probably just major hair shedding phase im going through but im still scared. im at a point where i dont care if the transplanted hair grow or not. I just want the native hair i lost back. if you guys have any idea about this then please let me know what exactly im going through. 1. is this shockloss even though the hair is fallin out from the areas that werent touched during the procedure? 2. the hair falling out are (mostly) thick. ive noticed some thinning hair too but most of them are thick 3. is this temporary? will they grow back? I think MPB doesnt progress by hairfall but rather hair thinning so the hair should come back right? god i hope so. I even recall that i had a similar major hair shedding event (also in july) about 2 years back but all the lost hair came back. but this time, i can see the scalp. I know i shouldnt stress over it as stress can also cause hairloss but i cant help it. everytime i shower and look at the mirror i get a mini heart attack. Im really worried ive attached 3 pics. 1st is pre-op after trimming, 2nd is exaclty 1 month after the procedure and the 3rd is 2 months post op. as i said,there is only slight shockloss(If any) in the recipient area. The other area where the scalp is visible cant be seen in these pic although if you look carefully in the 3rd pic, you can see some scalp right behind the hairline area. but its clearly visible if youre looking at me from the front. so if anyone knows about this or has been through something similar please comment. Im freaking out. thanks.
  5. Hi guys, ive been following this forum for a while and ive noticed everyone keeps saying the hair that is already miniaturized and in its last leg wont come back after it is shocked. so what exactly does "miniaturized" and "last leg" means? my hair is thinning at the crown and the scalp is visible but its not very bad. so i would assume the hair is miniaturizing rather than miniaturized. so will the miniaturizing hair come back after they are shocked out?
