I have had some routine blood tests through and I asked for a Thyroid check and my TSH is at 2.3 (normal). My ferretin had been at 11 for a year or so then last November it was 13, it's now upto 45 thanks to dietary changes (steak!) and supplements. My hair has been consisten thinning at the front since my late twenties (I'm in my 40's now) I've asked for a hormone check but was refused (NHS) on the grounds this is my only negative symptom. My mum and older sister both have very thin hair so I am 99% sure it's AGA. Woukd you start minoxidil if you were me or wait to see if the ferretin increase helps? I'm planning on starting OM at 0.0625mg if I do take it as topical isn't practical for me. thanks!   submitted by   /u/Think-Machine187 [link]   [comments]
