Hey everyone, this is my first post on here as I...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here as I have just recently started to become very self conscious of my appearance. As little as two years ago when I started university, I had long hair that I could flow back and it was awesome. Through first year about Midway through, I really started to notice shedding like crazy, but didn't think too much of it. After first year I still held my hairline but my hair definitley thinned a lot. Fast forward to the end of second year and it really had started to recede, I'm assuming due to the stress of school, especially as I stress a lot while at school. In the summer I had a relationship end which really hit hard and ever since then my hairline has gotten aggressively worse. I went from a possible Norwood 2 to a worsening case of Norwood 3.

To help combat the issue, I started finasteride in January and haven't noticed much since, if anything it has gotten worse. I'm wondering if there is any chance of regrowing hair along the hairline or if in the next few years I should be thinking of a hair transplant, something I'm not entirely sure I'm ready for. I do still have small nearly invisible hairs along the Norwood hairline and even some in the temple regions.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as to what I should do and if finasteride will really be able to do enough on it's own. Also if anyone knows of any upcoming products that may be able to help. Thanks in advance for reading the post and I look forward to hearing everyone's responses. The pictures are where I stand after just over 3 months ouf finasteride use.
