Just a heads up...
I been on finesteride for years, I stopped it 2 years ago because I wanted to have another baby, and 6 months later, my lady was pregnant. I have a beautiful baby girl that just turned 1 last week.
But I totally understand if you want to stay away from finesteride, but you might to reconsider on taking minoxidil. You already spent the money and started your journey... Now you should want to try and keep what you have, and keep your new transplanted hair, because they can fall out too. Minoxidil will help, and has no side effects as far as fertility. It will make a huge difference.
If your Dr told you that you won't ever need any medication, then he lied to you.
Anyways... You are definitely growing, and it only gets better from here.
