Is finasteride I started 6 months ago proving to be ineffective?

njv95
I think my hairline is slightly worse than baseline, but I also have noticed darker and longer hairs growing along the hairline, some of which in spots where I don't think was hair before. Does this mean it is working, or is it proving to be ineffective? Should I try something different?
