Regular Member ajeter10 Posted February 17, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey guys - Im 24 and started taking Propecia and Rogaine foam about 25 days ago - have a couple questions/concerns. 1. I feel like I am going through a "shed," but am not sure. I was shedding hair before starting to use the medications, but am now loosing about twice as much hair in the shower as before - temples are receding more. Is this normal? 2. Despite the shedding, when my hair is wet it actually looks thicker and I feel like im seeing less of my scalp than 25 days ago. Is it possible this soon, or is it just the "placebo" effect? 3. When I ejaculate, its more liquid than usual. Is this due to a decrease in semen production? Is this something I should be concerned about - or should I troop on and re-evaluate at 6 months? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Peter88 Posted February 17, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 Shed is normal in the beginning mainly because minoxidil but is a good signal You need at least 3 months to see a real improvement Reduction on volume ejaculated or more liquid is a side effect of taking finasteride. With continuous use this side effect can reduce but I think you will always have it since you take finasteride. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
