My hairline shifted--I was happy about that--but then my hair kept falling out at an alarming rate. I kept getting all of these little short hairs all over my bathroom. I wasn't sure if my hair was just thinning out or if I was starting to bald (I couldn't see any balding areas). I hardly think all of this hair loss is still a regular hairline shift; it's been going on for over a year. I suspect that the shift is over and the effect I have now is an age-related receding hairline. My father had it, and my older brother does, too.
I'm a little sensitive about starting my transition in middle age, and I'm not prepared to deal with hair loss if I can help it. So I started Finasteride about five or six weeks ago. The doc said it would take three months to start working. So far no change. I just went to my barber today, and he commented that my hair still seems pretty thick. No bald patches that I didn't know about.
I was 46 when I started T, and I'm 48 now. My best buddy started balding in high school or college, though, so it can happen at any age.
