So I have noticed a lot of baby hairs in front lately.....by that I mean, shorter hairs that weren't there before.
I have heard of reverse recession happening....maybe that's what is the case here? Would be pretty darn cool. =)

I'm assuming on your forehead. I've read it does happen sometimes. Lucky you!! Hopefully they're typical head hair, and not the little peach fuzz, u know?

I have heard that if the follicle is just dormant and not completely dead, some "regrowth" can occur when on HRT. I second the motion - I envy you! I'm hoping for something similar, although I'll probably need plugs or something eventually (or just wear wigs)...

I have some coming back at my temples too, I had no idea I had any recession, but I guess I must have. They will start baby, and get thicker as they cycle through their growth pattern, just the same as MPB in reverse.

I'm getting that too! I've noticed some hair follicles in front of my hairline that weren't there before, but the majority of them are in the temple area. The hairs are almost all babies right now so I really hope they develop into normal hairs ;D

Wow, that's great :)
I am also getting some back but i am giving it a helping hand with finasteride.
After only 4 months there is some good regrowth.

Yeah if you mean there the same colour as your old hair just short and poke out the front of your hairline yes that's what they probably are I had a similar effect 4 months on hormones. I didn't even know I had hair-loss at the front of my head :/ Oh well new additions up there are welcome. :)

I've definitely had a lot of receded hair growing back, but I'm on finasteride as well. (It seems like all of my receded hair is growing back, actually.)
I don't know if I actually have any totally new hairs, though. Has anyone ever confirmed that it could happen, or that the hairs could be permanent? It would be kinda awesome if some of us were able to develop lower hairlines.
