5 Months Post Transplant - Barely Any Growth + Shock Loss
Hi Guys,
I had my FUT procedure (900 grafts in hairline & front scalp) a little over 5 months ago and starting to get a little concerned. To note, have been taking finasteride and oral minoxidil well before the procedure.
Ive barely had any regrowth (I can feel a few spiky hairs along the hairline but nothing at the front scalp). What makes things worse is that my hair at the front looks noticeably thinner than it did before the procedure! It’s likely shock loss and my hair does grow slower than average but concerned that there hasn’t been much progress in a while.
One thing to point out is that I had my shed (ugly duckling stage) a little later than usual. I had practically all my transplanted hair up until 5 weeks in, which is when I slowly started to shed. Not sure if this means anything.
