Senior Member hairbank Posted November 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2007 Results will vary but suffice to say it's going to at the least take 3-6 months. If you want to measure any progress, you're better off to document with pics every month or possibly bi-monthly. Any shed caused by Fin, or any shed at all (which is normal), is merely the hair going into its 6 week - 2 month resting phase, then it grows back. At any given time, there's normally 10-15% of the hair on your head that is in the resting phase. Any hair you keep or gain from Fin will be lost if you stop, so, it is really a long term commitment. Not sure on the sides, but I believe those that experience them usually find out pretty quick..............like within the first week or two. I personally didn't experience any.

Regular Member MarylandGuy Posted November 30, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've been on Propecia for about 7 weeks now and within the first month I noticed a big difference. No I didn't wake up and have a full head of hear, but the amount that was coming out was greatly reduced. I've got long hair and it's pretty damn easy and disconcerting to see a large amount in the drain of the shower, but now it's a few hairs and nothing more. I'm hoping it'll regrow the hair that's gone missing, and having seen such noticable results, frankly I could kick myself for not staying on it 5 years ago after my first (and only to date) transplant. Oh and no adverse side effects to speak of. Aside from wanting to kick myself that is. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
