I'm 5 months out. Hair is EVERYWHERE!!! On my pillow, my shower drain, my bath vanity/sink, and on my clothes during the day. I just changed hairstyles to try to cover the shine of my balding head! I'm not sure it's working... but I just keep telling myself 'this too shall pass'.

I run my fingers through my hair and pull all the loose strands out by the handful every other day or so. Helps reduce the constant shedding!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

Thanks! I brush gently but thoroughly every morning and evening. That catches a lot but it's still frightfully BAD!

I console myself with the knowledge that many women are dealing with hair loss as a side effect from major illness, and mine is just a side effect from getting healthier.

Mine started falling out at 4.5 months and was awful until about 7.5 months. Now I am almost 9 months and I feel like I can safely brush my hair again!!!
