I'm on Rogaine foam right now. I can't say anything has changed. My barber said it might have gotten a tiny bit better but it definitely isn't getting worse. And I started in March. But I'm not even sure I wanna continue using it. I think I'm going to be one of the people waiting for a better solution in the next 5 years. Is it even worth it to continue using Rogaine until?

It's like you said man. A pill that you have to commit to forever for that risk. I feel exactly the same way about it. I don't think it's worth the risk

Hey guys. Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it. Honestly it's not even the side effects that scared me about Propecia. It's the long term effects. Some people still have side effects even after being off of Propecia. And yeah honestly I feel like if I wait it out some other drug will be made much better than propecia lol. I'm still going to do some more research

ps. my hair started thinning since high school. its really starting to get noticeable now. this has been on my mind for a while, but taking propecia is a scary risk for me. iven

hey m, thanks for the reply man. honestly my doctor was going to prescribe it to me but he read the possible side effects and it was just a big turn off for me. ontop of that I've done some research on propecia and a lot of law suits filed against the pharmaceutical company that makes it over here in Canada. people losing impotency even after they've stopped using it etc etc. thats a risk I'm not willing to take iven

hey guys, I'm 23 years old turning 24 this year and I'm really thinking about getting a hair transplant. i have 2 brothers who are fully bald, one of them is 4 years older and the other is 2 years older. when they were my age they were already fully bald but i still have a good hairline and donor area, its been really slowly getting bad off the top, our father has more hair than us so I'm guessing the gene came from my mothers side of the family. anyways i was told to use rogaine for a year before consulting with a hair transplant doctor to basically see if it will get better or stay the same. I'm 6 months in and it didn't get worse. if anything just stayed the same if not a tiny bit better. it would seem like I'm still in the process of balding now i have 2 questions. 1. what is going to stop the balding if i get a hair transplant, and 2. if i do get the hair transplant do i have to be on meds like propecia after the surgery, and do i have to keep taking propecia? I've heard some stories about propecia and the side effects it gives you, id basically rather not take it. is it something thats a complete must post surgery? thanks
