Hey man thanks for the reply! ive been on Fin for 4 years, dut for 2 every other day. i also use Nizoral every 5 days. I have just expanded my business so I have been working 12 hour+ days every day for about 3 months (things are going REALLY well!) So I have considered stress causing it - but then I do wonder - a lot of the fall is from my crown in the MPB areas which made me doubt it was stress? My crown has thinned more in the past 3 months than it has in 4 years which is definitely making me worry! Im on the 3 top drugs for stopping it and it seems to be beating me. Perhaps a visit to my doctor is needed too.

Yo guys! The past 6 weeks my hair shedding has been INSANE - I havent seen it this bad since I was about 22 and just started fin/min. So I have been on fin for about 4 years and I have been on Avodart every other day for 18 months. I have never had a serious shed before but recently its to the extreme that my hair is everywhere. Its all over my bathroom & kitchen floor (white tiles so its so obvious:( ) Every day when I wake up theres at LEAST 30 hairs on my pillow - every single damn day! If I muss my hair up I can see them all falling out onto the floor. Interestingly the hairs are all short - what does this mean? They are all 1/2inch-1 inch long with the white bulb on the end (if that is relevant at all)? What do you guys think? I have been freaking out quite badly about this for 2 months and I am feeling quite stressed regarding it, I think about it constantly and I even dream about being bald a lot Thanks for reading & looking forward to your replys!

Sorry for the no show guys, I wasn't getting email updates on the thread for some reason! It's concerning because I originally was booked for 2500 grafts and I had the money in cash for 2500, but the doctor insisted at the end of day that we'd achieve a good result with what hes done and so stopped at 2000 which could have been a mistake on his part? Kind of sucks because a second pass is not something I wanted because of the expense. Getting it done in one go would have been ideal :-( I did see a lot of "popping" months 3-6 but since then I haven't seen a new hair pop through in a good while. I'm now in the situation you don't really want to be in! The middle is a lot thicker where m native hair is and I just had a thin see through hairline at the moment. Sometimes I can style it to look cool but sometimes I catch my reflection or the light is on me and it doesn't look great. I have been talking occasionally to Dr De Reys and he has advised waiting until 12 months because he thinks there's growth to come. I am not very optimistic but I'm going to sit tight and wait as advised

Hello guys. I am about 8 months post op now and I am still a little pessimistic about my result. It is noticably thicker than before, but it looks thin under light and when wet, especially the temples where I had the most work. I have the rest of my hair long so I can style it to make it look okay, although I feel like only about 1000 of the 2000 grafts have shown. Does anyone have any advice or opinions? I heard it is very unlikely to see any drastic improvement after the 9 month mark which is a little upsetting (and for some reason the pics are all upside down after uploading lol, sorry)

Sorry guys - bump. Any comments/advice at all regarding my last post? Cheers :-)

Hi all. I am just about 5 months. Like I said in my recent post, I haven't seen any "new" sprouts in a while! Is it possible that you can just have a lot of no show hairs that suddenly start showing? The hairs that have come through are still slowly growing which is good. Can I have peoples opinions/advice on whether or not im where I should be for 5 months? Things feel slow. How do you think it'll turn out? Thanks :-)

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bill. Do you think adding a small amount of topical minoxidil to the temples will help speed it up at all? Or will that do more harm than good?

Hi bud. I honestly cannot remember the exact amount I paid. I think it was around 5000 euros (about ?4000). I am not sure about the discount, I dealt with Nick (his middleman) in the first instance. I planned on putting my 5 month pictures up considering it is coming around soon (4months 2 weeks). I have had a fair amount of growth, although I have not seen any new "sprouts" for a good 3-4 weeks, just the hair that grew early continuing to grow (which worries me slightly?). has anyone else experienced this in the past?

Hello, it has been one month since my FUE. Here are some pics! Not much to see really, I lost almost all of my hairs by day 25. I am already starting to see growth in all areas, small thick stubble like hairs appearing at the hairline.

Your hair looks amazing, grats mate

You are probably over thinking it, perhaps post a pic?

Just washed my hair for the first time using baby shampoo. Spent 5-10 minutes gently massaging off the scabs. A lot of scabs came off, and a lot of the hairs too! But I understand this is perfectly normal. 1 Week post op

You are way better off going abroad. I am from the UK and at first the concept of going outside of the UK for a hair transplant was daunting/nope. But it really is way easier than it sounds.

Thanks for that Rawkerboi, a lot of surgeons are suggesting that you can wash the recipient area pretty soon after treatment however I have been told I must wait until day 7! I plan on following my doctors instructions, just a bit curious really. My head is healing very well despite not washing it, all looks very clean and the scabs are very small! Cheers for the advice

I have been on fin for 2.5 years and my body has always been very thick & plentiful (gorilla genes), and it has not changed since being on fin.
