Still seeing hairs sticking up all over. I think the only place that actually looks thicker is my temples, but those were the least of my concerns. My concern is the front, partline/crown areas. Go figure.

Waiting to go see Dr Dubow on the 26th.

I had hair loss a few years ago 2003/2004 and one Dr said TE and the other AGA. I was shedding a lot. I was on the pill at the time too, but didnt have shedding beofre on that pill. I started Minox. Worked great for a couple years (also went off the pill in 2005).

Then just this last April (2007, still was not on the pill )I noticed it thinning, not shedding but looking thinner/losing density, like the minox wasnt stimulating growth anymore. Thats when I started taking Phytoestrogen in July and Saw palmetto. In September I started shedding BIG time. I figured it was the supplements. I stopped taking those then about a month later the shedding subsided but went straight on the Diane 35 in November. Since than I have shed normally BUT my hair continues to lose density. My part is wider/overall density thinner. It is also thinner than when I was shedding in September/Oct and back then I didnt notice less density. Weird!!! This is a true mystery.

I have been on the DIane 35 4 months and FInasteride a month. Have a Derm appt. the 26th hopefully THIS ONE will help me!!

BH,
One thing I do know for sure. The finasteride will not work in a month. It will take time. Maybe 3 or more months. Im just complete 3 months.

Sorry I have no advice about BCP's. Since Im 50 we went straight to HRT because my cycle began to get irregular and he said I would have to change again in the next year or so if I started the BC's at my age.
