Question

Ok.  So I knew ahead of time that hair loss was going to be of concern.  Now that I'm in the throws of it it is VERY concerning!!  I'm six months out today and am averaging my appropriate protein intake and take Biotin every day.  My hair has been cut as short as it has been since I was a small child.  I do have PCOS so I wonder if that is contributing as well.  I just don't want to wear a wig for the rest of my life (I haven't started now) and I'm not normally a very vain person but this is beginning to freak me out a little.  It's been going on for a couple of months and my hair is so thin now.

Does anyone have any tips?

For me, prob at the point I was getting concerned it stopped! From what I have heard there is nothing you can do to prevent it. It did come back less grey in spots!

Well I do like the less grey part!!

I too am 7 months out yesterday and I got really upset at my hair loss.  But it has slowed down quite a bit.  I don't see where you are taking zinc and that's a must.  I must confess I don't get all my protein in and really never did. I only did shakes the first 2 months and haven't had one since. So I really don't think that the protein intake is the culprit. I think its your body in shock with the rapid weight loss. Good Luck give it time you'll be fine!!

I am taking 2 multivits a day, b12, vit d, calcium, in addition to my other stuff and just had my blood work done and my zinc is normal so I'm hoping I don't need another supplement.

Patience never was my strong suit.  ;)

Thanks.
