Using Minoxidil - 7 Months post-FUE

[lukemac]

Hey Guys,
So, I had a hair transplant around 6-7 months ago and so far everything is going good. I've been given biotin tablets, Xpecia tablets and Propecia which have helped a great deal. I've been thinking whether I would somewhat benefit with some more growth by starting to use Minoxidil from this far down from my hair transplant? I've experienced some great growth and I know using it would be great for slowing/stopping further hair loss, but I'm wandering whether there's any point in buying some and if anyone would reckon if my hair went into a shedding phase (like the 2-3 week shedding phase when using regaine). I know I should of starting using it very early on but I felt that propecia on its own would be more than enough (And would this still be the case?).
Bit of a random thing to ask but any feedback and advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
LM

Hey LM!
I went through the a similar process to yourself. I had slow growth at six months, at seven months decided to try Rogaine foam. Within a week of use I could see my hair getting thinner, this stopped after the second week of use. My hair began to grow back again quicker than before, I believe the Rogaine accelerated my growth after the initial shedding phase. I still use it now, three years after my transplant to maintain my crown. It can be somewhat daunting going through a shed, seeing your new hair growth fall out, leaving it looking worse than before but I believe the short time of anxiousness is worth it.
