2nd month update (Cyproterone Acetate (Diane35))

posted by Sadie, 14.12.2007, 16:13

I'll get the result of my pull test middle of next week. Apparently this will show if the shedding picked up as a result of dianette (which to me and derm was obvious it had but he wants to make sure!).

My last pull test showed a shedding of 18% on top and 3% at the lower back. The 3% is normal shedding rate, but 18% isnt - i.e. hair being lost at a faster rate than it can be replaced if you get what i mean!!! I asked if we should do a scalp biopsy to make sure, but he said no as it was obvious the front top had become miniturised since he saw me last.

I've ruled out another BCP - at one point the Derm suggested maybe switch to Yasmin, but i think ive had enough of playing with my hormones. He agreed there was nothing else he could suggest. I am using the Regaine 5% but its early months to say if that is effective. By the looks of it, it isnt but i should give it some more time yet.

Ummmm, nothing else. My next step is to go for hair extensions and / or looking into wigs. It would be of immense help if i had someone who could understand me outside of the net.
