Rogaine

Leatherface: Thanks for your comments. If I use Emu Oil though, should I apply it in the morning. Oh and another thing. I tried propecia, but sperm count was shot down :( .

Dino9X7: Night use only for minox? I usually shampoo in the morning to get rid of everything on my hair. Then at night I put on minox and revivogen. Or should I just go with having it all from night-to-night?

General note: To anyone using propecia and other related drugs. You should consider a sperm count. Honestly thank god, I did it. Managed to get my sperm count back up again, by taking Vitamin E, since it wasn’t too late.

I do the same thing just at night with the two and the shampoo in the morning the minox is just to sticky to use in the day. Also do you think the Propecia really lowered your sperm count? I have all the kids I want now but it still concerns me.

I bought Rogaine Foam yesterday at Costco. Four canisters — allegedly a four month supply — for $50.

So far I like that it doesn’t have propelyene glycol, so it doesn’t mat my hair nearly as much as the liquid stuff, or feel tacky on the skin. It’s also much less hassle for me to apply. I shoot a little ball onto the tips of my fingers, part or pull back my hair with the other hand, and smoosh it in. The scent isn’t any stronger than the liquid from what I can tell, but I have a cold right now.

Inactive ingredients: butane, butylated hydroxytoluene, cetyl alcohol, citric acid, fragrance, glycerin, isobutane, lactic acid, polysorbate 60, propane, purified water, SD alcohol 40­B, stearyl alcohol

I ordered some of the Genhair 15-5 stuff and I’m going to give it a try. I’m going to alternate nights between the 5% minox and revivogen on one night and than the Genhair 15-5 on the next night. I’m doing it this way to make the stuff last. I may drop the 5% minox all together if I really like the Genhair 15-5% and than do both the revivogen on the same night putting the Genhair on first and than waiting till it drys and adding revivogen.

I’m sticking with the same shampoo routine of Nizoral 1% and Revivogen and just switching every day. I was going order the Dr Lee stuff but it’s more expensive and you get less and you also have to pay 20 bucks for consultation fee.

Since you dropped Fin altogether, I would really try and use Revivogen every night to tackle the DHT problem.

Good luck!!

sounds like sound advice Leather:)

Sorry for taking this long reply.
Yes it did. I am convinced about it. I had a hernea of some sort on my testes(left) got rid of that, then a hydro-hernea(made it look very big though ;p) got rid of that. And when I had it done I was still taking propecia. The sperm count was lower than before I had the operation. I stopped it, started taking Vit E and Muira Puma(can’t remember how it’s spelled ;p), and it went sky high :) . I can get you the test results, but trust me I wasn’t good. I mean they said I would still have kids, but I can’t stop thinking if I carried on, with doing the test what would happen. I’m just glad it didnt come to that stage and I managed to get it back to what it was. Actually better :) .
The doctor, urologist, I visited he said, that the dermatologist who gave me this, should have told me, that I would have to choose between my hair, or my dick. And he wasn’t suprised by what had happened, and said it was wrong of the doctor not to have informed me. I mean propecia, is the same drug given for prostate problems, so this should tell us something.

It also killed my libido. I had no interest whatsoever to have sex with my girlfriend, and just before I start using it, when we were together we were at it 2-3 times a day. Libido came back( I think ;p ).

But honestly at some point it will kill it completely, same for sperm as well. Oh and morning erections.. Gone? Not competely though but they became a rare occasion. I hadnt really paid any attention to these problems, but at some point they started getting more apparent to me.

Staty away from it in my opinion. It can cause more bad things, than it can do good things. My hair did grow back when using it. And when I stopped they dropped to what they were before. So you either use it all your life, or you don’t.

My recommendation don’t. You don’t know what other side effects it may have. And trying it out, with the hope you don’t get any problems I wouldn’t do it myself.

Sort of like body-building where they take HGH, and hope it doesnt go bad.

Thanks

Thanks Bro I really hope not to go back on it but I know I’m weak when it comes to my hair, but I’m going to try everything else first and if I can maintain what I have until I’m to old to care than I will be happy. I’m really enjoying being off it I feel a lot better I have no more brain fog which to me was indecision. And I’m enjoying the never ending night wood.

Dino ,I’m curious how your hair is coming along since stopping the Propecia? I’ve been using minox 5% and nizoral shampoo since the middle of august. I apply the minox morning and night religiously, but I don’t think it’s working. Sometimes I think it is helping , but then I look at the back of my head when I come out of the shower, and I could cry.

Hey Bro check out this thread or at least the last couple of pages:)

Propecia problems?

Oops ! Sorry Dino, I wasn’t aware of this thread. I’ll give it a read. Thanks for the reply. :)

Before rogaine was put on the shelf for marketing I was in a blind study at the local University for rogaine. The assistant took a template of my bald spot, counted the hairs and sent me off with a placebo or rogaine, I didn’t know which. At the end of the study I had found that I was using rogaine not the placebo. I did grow hair, my bald spot diapered. I had found that miracle I wanted.

Rogaine at that time was $60 Canadian, don’t know what it is now. One bottle would last a month 60 x 12 = 720 dollars a year. I was not in the financial position to afford it. For 30 years I would spend $21,000 for hair. Hey that’s a great topee plus a vacation.

I never did use it again. I keep my hair close to my scape, no bozo the clown look. The best part is I get compliments from the opposite sex.

Girls (and guys) like a man with confidence. What a great way to show your confidence! Remember hair is only dead tissue just like finger nails, and most of us cut our finger nails away.

Spend your money on a gym and get a nice shape to your body. You’ll go further with a nice body compared to a full head of hair.

Saw something on The Today Show about lazer treatment for baldness. 15 minute sessions 3x/week is supposed to be effective in 90% of patients?

You use a hand held lazer at home. Anyone heard about this?

Was it a LaserComb or some other type of laser?

It looked kind of like a brush with red light coming out of it that you point at your head. They also showed a salon version where people were sitting under lights that looked like bowl type hair dryers. I guess a lot of women use it since they can’t take propecia.
