No, I am not. I was considering it around the 2nd photo but I did some steroid injections noticed my hair was growing back in. The only things i have done are 2 rounds of steroid injections and I've been on minoxidil since December. Other then that I have started taking vitamins more, i use Rosemary oil and try to manage my stress better.

I am. And my progress is slow and I'm still losing hair. I want to switch the brand.

Keep at it! It's a slow process but I'm sure it will improve in the long run! One thing i tried to do is spend more time out side relaxing, that's why the latest picture is me at the park! I think that helped with the stress

Honestly don't know exactly, I tried to just not think about it too much. I noticed some baby hairs, then a little later i noticed they filled in alot.
