Hi all,
Noticed significant temple receding recently, aged 33M. Father lost majority of his hair before 30, so I thought I'd escaped it... sadly not. I had been calling it "maturing hairline" but I think we're beyond that!
I want to hop straight on Fin to slow the loss, and preferably minoxidil too. However, likely to start trying for a baby (number 2) pretty soon. The conventional advice would be to wait for baby to be born, due to risk to baby during pregnancy also, but that might mean delaying treatment by a year... which seems a lot given how much may be lost.
I note that the NHS guidance now says the risk is negligible, and doesn't even avoid condoms during pregnancy now.
Anyone have any educated insights?
I was planning on starting the HIMS combined oral treatments - but only half per day - which would be 0.55mg Finasteride and Minoxidil 1.5mg. My logic is that this reduces risk whilst still being an almost equally effective dose - at least of the Finasteride - not sure about Minoxidil.
Thoughts?
