Things are improving, the crown takes a lot longer to grow, the hair is not mature yet, it is true that the crown grows slowly.

It's been 3.5 months almost 4, not much difference in my day to day appearance but it when I compare month two to now there is quite a bit of difference. I do feel as though the crown is certainly growing slower than my hairline, which is normal from what I hear.

I don't take Finasteride, I have taken it but I suffered side effects, I do use Minoxidil.

It's been two weeks since my surgery, my donor has healed amazingly, I was in New York City last week on vacation, I walked through times square, I rode a bike through central park, I have to say the recovery time has been great. I've been pretty diligent in the shower making sure I gently rub off the scabs and keep the recipient area clean. My only regret was not shaving my head, now I have to do some comb over to conceal the shaved area in the middle of my head and I can't do anything about the crown c'est la vie.

is that 1300 grafts / 5300 hair total?

No I mean 5,300 grafts total that i've had transplanted, since this is my third procedure. I think total hairs were like 2,800. I messed up on the title I should have put 1,300 grafts total (5,300).
