when you say your hair is falling out....what do u mean??

It runs the gamut of no hair loss to clumps, and everything in between.  Google "telogen effluvium" and you'll get the basic explanation of what happens.  For most of us, it seems like a lot of hair falls out, but most other people don't notice it.  It's a short term problem - the hair grows back in - but it's damned depressing while it's happening.

For me, it started about 3 weeks ago (about 3 months after surgery).  Everyday in the shower, I lose strands and strands, and more strands not clumps.  I do not have patches of scalp, just thinning hair.  But when you look at the drain, those strands add up...and for me it is everyday.  A little wad of hair is sitting in the shower.  Then I take a wide tooth comb and comb my hair like I do everyday, and more strands of hair are on the comb.  I ended up getting a bob, thinking that having shorter hair will give me more body, than my long, thinning hair.  I know it is just hair and it will grow back, but with me being stuck for a month and having hair loss, just bummed out lately.  I know all will pass.

Mine falls out by the handfuls daily still and I am almost 5 months out but I have heard that between 6 and 9 months it gets better I am just lucky I have always had super thick hair.

Ditto to all the above I am removing a handfull a day at this point!

I'm almost 16 months out.  I always used to lose a lot of hair, especially when it was longer but my hair was falling out in clumps pretty bad between months 3-9.  I've always had thick hair so my hair didn't look bad but I would get embarrassed when I'd get my hair washed at the Hair Salon for a haircut.  It seems to be back to normal now.

It's not normal breakage...you'll know it's started because the hair comes out from the root.  Mine has slowed way down now but I used to run my hand through my hair and end up with like 10 strands. 

I was getting handfulls at a time. Started right at 3 months and it is finally tapering off at 9 months. I had extremely thick hair to begin with, now it is normal thick hair. I kinda miss my thicker hair...but not enough to cry over it or anything. :) And it came out pretty uniformly, so that's good. 

If you've ever had a baby, you may remember losing hair after the baby was born. For me this was like twice the amount of that and has obviously lasted longer. 

My hair loss started at month 3 as well...almost to the day.  The easiest way to put it, I had to clean the shower drain 3x per shower or else it wouldn't drain.  I'm grateful I have thick hair.  I had to clean out my brush every other day too.  I've been using that "fall fight" by Garnier for about a month now.  I don't know if it's because of the product or because I'm getting more protein in, but now I only have to clean out the drain of the shower once during my shower....I'm a little more than 5 months out now.
