Did Rogaine stop working for FPHL? Put it on 2x a day? Should I add finasteride? (photo)

Mellifluos72
44. FPHL. Started Rogaine 5% women's foam November 2016. Never had an increase in shedding, in fact my shedding slowed down. In June this year shedding began to increase and is worse now again 200-250 + hairs a day whether or not I wash it. Do I need to stop Rogaine, has it quit working? No derm to talk to see about this.
