I am 39 yrs old; not sure how much balder I'll get. Can't go from family history since I don't know it. See how I'm really only balding in the front (as far as I can tell anyway). Its starting to piss me off now when I see pictures. I look fine from the front but the receeding temples have gotten bad. Should I take propecia? I keep reading it might not help at all since I'm balding in the front? Do you guys think I might be a good candidate for a HT? I'm hoping so since I'm already almost 40 and still have some up top. What do you think?

I would start Propecia. From what I've seen it does help stop hairloss, even in the front hairline area. Also, if you look carefully, your crown is starting to thin a little. It's good to stop it where it is right now. So get on the Finasteride (ingredient in Propecia).

Thanks!

pushing 40,
there are no guarantees but I think you are an excellent candidate for an HT (and there are not many about!). You must do what you think is best, I would not start taking Propecia at 40 but it is your call.

OK, I'll bite. Why would you not start taking Propecia at 40?

I'll bite too; why not? Anybody? See how confusing this can be LOL!

I'll go ahead and round out the equation with a third request for a reason why you don't think starting Propecia at 40 is a good idea...
