Originally posted on Reddit For all my brothers, here is a glimmer of hope for anyone stressing out about the process. My 1-Year Timeline: January 2025: Started treatment with Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil. June 2025 (Month 6): A major shed began. This was scary but part of the process. July 2025: I decided to switch to Dutasteride (taking it twice a day). July - October: Saw strong regrowth for 3 solid months. October 2025 - Present: Shedding began again and has been going on until now. Current Status: Even though I am shedding again, there are clear signs of better regrowth than before the previous cycles. Trust the process.
