Newbie - where to start?

I'm 51 years old with thin hair. It runs in my family that women get increasingly thin hair as they age. I had thick hair as a child, it thinned considerably in my 20s and not much change since then. I keep it short. However, I'm peri now and I think it's getting worse. I part it a certain way to avoid the thinnest area. But my mum's hair is a lot thinner with scalp visible so I want to prevent that. I started Regaine foam 2 months ago. There seem to be so many treatments. I haven't spoken to the doctor because basically my hair looks like many women's hair and I'm not sure I'd be taken seriously. Should I approach a dermatologist? Or buy one of the caps I see mentioned here? I tried a trichologist 10 years ago who charged me an exorbitant fee to take a load of vitamins that made no difference. Thank you.
