Help! Am I balding? Norwood stage question

[HoBroNJ]

Looking for your opinions on what Norwood I am, and if you think I’m balding on the crown. I can see that my temples are clearly receding over the past couple years, but not sure if it simply looks that way because of my hairstyle, or because it’s a true receding hairline.

My Dad and older brother both have the dreaded “horseshoe” so I’m worried I may be heading down that same path.

Any thoughts on my Norwood scale ranking as well as if I should start treatment are much appreciated! Thank you!!!
