2 Months off - Cold Turkey

Hi all,

This will be my last post, I've been off Minoxidil for 2 months now, and I quit cold turkey from 2x a day. I saw many people advocating for a ween off period but I didn't really believe in it, so I thought I'd stick to my guns and try going cold turkey myself. As you can see I've had basically no change in my beard, you can compare it to my previous posts as well. This doesn't mean much as it could be personal to me, but I've also seen a few people who've also gone cold turkey and it worked out for them. I think the takeaway is if the beard looks permanent, then it is, if you're having to discuss whether or not you should ween off it probably means you haven't used it for long enough yet.

Edit: I used for two and a half years, regaine foam.

2 Years 6 Months - time to stop?

Hi all,

Hope you're okay, I've posted some of my journey here and would just like some advice. I probably doubled my density within the first 10 weeks and since then have had steady progress. The difference in the last year has been miniscule but i do see progress in some places, my left connector for example has improved a fair bit. I'm going to attach some collages of my journey and my most recent images that i took tonight. Realistically is there anything more to gain for me? I feel like the rest will come with time/age. I have one tube left after i finish my current one and am unsure whether or not to even bother using it. Schedule has roughly been 2x a day regaine foam with probably about 6 months being once a day with no noticeable decline in growth. Beard hair feels coarse. Fair amount of vellus still on chin under my lips inbetween my "beard pattern" but am unsure of whether or not they're just always gonna be blonde as im quite fair haired. Thanks.
