Regular Member creepingback Posted June 18, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2007 I'm now at 5 1/2 months. I know it's still very early but I am seeing very little going on up there and am getting a bit impatient...I am taking 1/4 Proscar and 4000 MSM everyday...I was thinking of adding Rogain to kick start my progress. I really don't have any intention on using it longer then three months as I find it a hassle and messy...my concern is will the negatives out-way the positives as far as shedding goes...will I lose hair when I start using Rogain and when I start growing hair and stop again in a few months will I have shedding again and have to wait for my hair to grow back anyways...Make sense? any advice would be appreciated...thanks..

Regular Member creepingback Posted June 18, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2007 Also, is there any benefit in using Rogain only in the evening and washing it out in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Creepingback, Remind me...who was your doctor? Though 5.5 months is early, I would expect that you'd see SOME growth at this point. Do you have any before and 5.5 month pictures you can post? It is typical for people to go through a shedding phase when one starts rogaine...as to whether or not transplanted hair will shed, I'm not really sure. I imagine it could, however, from what I understand, only the weaker hairs will tend to shed and then grow back in stronger. But using rogaine will not harm any transplanted hair...even hair that sheds from its use will grow back. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member YoungGuy Posted June 18, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2007 You ought to be seeing *something* by 5.5 months; heck, a lot of people have lots of growth by then. If you don't see a significant difference in another 2 months then chances are something went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member creepingback Posted June 18, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hey, Here is a pre-op and a 5.5 month shot I will be 6 month in july. I had 2080 grafts by Dr. Pathomvanich in Bangkok.. I do see some "New" hair, I just thought I would be a bit further along at this point. I have more photos posted as well.

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 creeping, Give it time bro...not much you can do except wait right now and see how it goes. How many grafts did you receive? 5.5 months is indeed early...I don't think you ought to be too concerned yet. But I would talk to your doctor and express your concerns.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2007 Way too early .. Be patient.. Many times the changes are so gradual we don't even notice. Give yourself about 8 months to see some decent results if you are a slow grower JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Senior Member finnari Posted June 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2007 I agree I had my growth around the 8 month mark. By 10 months you will really have noticable hair. In one year its pretty well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member creepingback Posted June 23, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2007 just taking MSM and proscar, Do you think Rogain for a few months, would be beneficial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi Creepingback Rogaine may actually slow things down as it may cause additional shedding in the beginning.. Also keep in mind if you start it , you have to keep using it for life or else you will lose what you have. I would wait especially if you are impatient JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.
