How my shedding stopped (All Natural Regimen (supplements etc))
Post reply

hey all,

for some reason i couldnt log on to my old account, i think i used the same name "shortywcb." anyhoo i feel like i am now able to fully tell you of my success story.

i have been losing hair ever since getting off bcp about 4-5 years ago. after a couple years of hair loss, i began having terrible cystic acne and body hair growth (ie. wispy hairs all along neck, black hairs on upper lip, tummy hair, etc.) i used to have perfect skin and now i had to deal with not only a balding head in my twenties but now a scarred face and hairy body.
i also suffer from terrible sweating in my armpits, and very oily skin and hair.

i have went to many doctors, done tons of hours of research online, had numerous blood tests done, tried every shampoo, pill, u name it--but nothing worked. i used spiro by itself for a year and had no success with my skin or hair. in fact, the spiro made me have my period 3 weeks of the month so i stopped taking it.

another year went by and i made the desperate decision to start orthotricylen
again but this time paired it with spiro. i hated the idea of getting on bcp
again since that is what i blame my issues on in the first place.

now, what i am about to tell you is crazy, but after just 4 days--the hair loss all but stopped. my face was perfectly clear in one week. i'm still oily and sweaty but not near as much as i was.

i am on my 7 month of orthotricyclen and spiro now and my success has only been greater. my hair does not shed anymore. i lose maybe around 10 hairs a day that i actually am aware of. of course, we dont see the hair that falls out normally if we arent paying attention. so i know i lose more than 10 most likely but not in an abnormal manner. i used to have to pick it off my clothes every five seconds, etc.

i know it is the pill combination that is saving me because when i stop the pill each month to take the inactive pills, my hair loss comes back and so does the acne in a matter of days. therefore, i take the pill continuously and do not give myself a break. which also means no period.

i do have side effects and they are the follwing: cramping, moodiness, more
discharge than normal. however, these side effects are acceptable to me
considering its that or being bald and have acne.

another thing i need to note is that though my hairloss and acne are gone, i do not see any regrowth of the hair i lost at this time. in any event, just
knowing my hair isnt falling out and that i dont have big zits on my face really gives me the confidence of being a woman again. (also my boobs are fuller which is great.)

i hope this helps you and as i have said in previous posts, please feel free to email me personally if you would like. i am more than happy to give you any details you need or help you in any possible way i can. i will try to check this site more often as well. i will post this in other sections to try and reach as much people as i can.

one last thing, i finally found a new doctor who believes i have PCOS and is testing me for it on the 21st day of my cycle. this also means i will be stopping all hormonal pills for 21 days. if i do indeed have PCOS (which i'm sure i do), then I will begin a therapy much like Jen's as i'm sure you have read in other posts. however, my therapy will also incorporate bioidentical hormones. i will be sure to let you know what happens.

though i have success in ending the acne and hairloss, i want regrowth and i want to be the best i can be hormonally, hence why i am taking further steps.

take care,

nicole

Your symptoms are suggestive of PCOS. You need a complete work up for PCOS. Treating PCOS can restore hair regrowth.

But taking hormonal pills without a break for regular periods to occur may do more harm to you.

You need to consult your endocrinologist to know all the possible effects of taking the pills continously.

You really don't need to have a period if the pills have estrogen and progesterone. You can have a period once or twice a year.
