What Norwood am I and is Propecia worth it? (Photos)

Gale gale gale
What Norwood hairline level would I be considered? I have been on rogaine for 6 months and notice my hair is much thicker on the top of my head but am still lacking in the hairline. I am currently considering Propecia but I have some apprehensions. Is Propecia worth the potential risks and what kind of gains could I hope to see? Given my level of recession, would a hair transplant just look kind of silly/unrealistic especially on the sides of my head? Thank you.
