I'm 3.5 mths out and definitely started to get hair loss from my head. But WHY oh WHY can't I choose where the loss occurs? I've got some on my face that I'd love to rid of!

Oh well, beggers can't be choosers

No, in fact with the hormone fluctuations you may notice a bit more growth in other unwanted places.   The good news is that the hair loss does not last too long.  Personally it was from month 3 to 9.  I am almost 2 years out and I only notice a normal shedding of hair.  Good luck !  Judy

Ugh my post deleted! I guess I can only hope it goes the optimal way. Thanks for the info!

Hi i am 8 months out and never had any issues with hair loss, I am not good at getting all my protein in and vitamins but I do what I can, I truly believe cutting your hair helps so so much, from what others have said it is your hair that breaks not falls out so maybe when it is long it is to heavy and breaks a lot more, I cut mine short at about 3 months out and never have any problems with any hair loss. Also if you have thicker hair or darker hair shows a lot more, I lightened mine and it's try I saw it a lot less.

I'm almost four months out now and it started about three weeks ago.  Got a good haircut and high end shampoo and conditioner.  Hasn't slowed down the hair loss, but I look fine.  I also switched to a wash and go style so I don't have to blow dry.

I am in the hair loss stage - I eat all my protein and take my vitamins but it seems to be the luck of the draw. I just recently got a really cute angled bob cut and lost about 5 inches of hair. My hair is healthier and I don't put it up as much which helps. I am losing a bit more then regular shedding and the good news it hasn't become worse.

I am at 5.5 months out and the hair loss is slowing down.  It was kinda crazy for a while and I ended up getting a couple inches cut off which seemed to help a lot.  My hair is much thinner now but I am confident it will grow back.

Cheers,

K
