Regular Member Deanomag Posted May 16, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hi , I’ve stopped taking fin for about 6 months now as we have been trying to conceive, but it’s not happened and seems we could be trying for a while. my hair has thinned around transplant and started to notice it. I don’t want to lose to much hair where I won’t be able to get it back !! But obviously don’t want to put any chances or baby at risk. We only really have sex around ovulation times .. can I use and stop about a week before each month ??? also how much hair would I lose in another 6 months etc ??

Everyone’s rate of loss is unique so unfortunately you’re asking how long is a piece of string. You could use the last 6 months as an indication, may be the most accurate way of coming up with a rough guess, although like a Wall Street disclaimer, past history is no indicator to the future performance. I think it is agreed to an extent, that on average, the older you are, the slower the balding rate hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finasteride is dangerous to the baby if taken by women or handled by them. It has no teratogenic effects if taken by men nor will it be transferred by sperm to the embryo. Nonetheless, having concerns is understandable and I think just avoiding its use around ovulation is perfectly fine and reasonable. 1 1 Dr. Taleb Barghouthi approved and recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member hairlosscpa Posted May 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I asked the same question on this forum many years ago. General advice was that it would have no impact to mother and baby. Obviously as the doctor mentioned, the pills should never be touched by them. I am a father of 2 healthy baby boys. For the first I cut my fin intake in half and 2nd I was using as normal. Note I was 28 y/o when I had my first and 31 with my second.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2021 I don’t believe there’s any issue with it transferring to the baby or to your partner. But it does make you less fertile. If you’re having difficulty conceiving I’d probably hold off. Everyone is different. You may want to consider topical fin. @DrTBarghouthi maybe Dr. Barghouthi can advise if that would be a good alternative. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

They lurk around and create or bump old topics to help stoke fear and paranoia about taking finasteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairEnthusiast101 Posted March 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 15, 2022 It appears no effect. Thanks for clearing the air guys. Going through the process too and of course selfishly want to stay on but also understand if I had to quit Dut or fin for awhile I would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
