My update (Birth Control Pills & Hair Loss)
Hey tazmapeg!
How are you doing?
Well, I tried to reduce stress, eat better, exercise , etc.
I took a womens multi, with 5,000 mcg biotin and slow fe. (slow fe every other day, upset my stomach too much)I did that until I seriously started trying to get pregnant. Then I just took a prenatal.
I tried the herbal route Roxeli used for her daughter, but found it expensive, time consuming, and messy. I also didn't like my hair using "natural" shampoos. So that lasted all of 2 weeks. Occasionally I will still use an apple cider vinegar rinse though.
It took one full year after stopping Yasmin to stop shedding. My hormones were low, although considered "normal." It seemed to take forever to get pregnant though, so I don't think they were right. One doctor thought I wasn't ovulating, but obviously I was!
I am still unsure if regrowth will occur. Most people start seeing something within 3 months or so, and well not for me. Although I only shed 20-30 a day my hair looks thinner than ever.
Its like I really need that 20 or 30 hairs a day. I opted for a shorter cut, and girls believe me that helps a lot. Even if you hate short hair, it does make a big difference.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath for regrowth.
Happy hair days to all!
