PCOS - Hair Loss and Hair Growth Nightmare

What's a girl to do?

Hi peeps, or anyone reading this. I actually thought I'd already posted this to my blog, but must be elsewhere.

I've had my transvaginal ultrasound (scan). According to the nurse everything looked fine. I'm still to hear that from the consultants though who should have had the results back by now. Well lets update:-

I've had my first session of laser hair removal, was not too bad, some discomfort but that was probably because some of the hair growth was longer than they needed it to be. So happy that I've got this show on the road.

Contacted the hospital again yesterday to see if any progress on my Sept. date. Was told that they are still chasing the surgeon for Sept. list, basically for him to confirm which days he will be performing surgery in Sept. Hopefully it should be soon, because I know he's off on his holidays come 18th August.

New worry. My PCOS is the cause of my hair lose. My hair has been thinning out for a good number of years, but I thought this was due to my anemia. Not so. I am now so worried that it may not grow back as this hormonial. I'm going to look up if there is any herbal treatments. This is so distressing, especially when WLS may cause more hair lose.

My bestfriends 50th birthday celebration this Friday. Good news is that I will be going. Slap up meal at the Holiday Inn Hotel - Caribbean Banquet with entertainment.

Did I tell you guys that the registrar told me that i'm not required to do a pre-surgery diet?

Anyway, this madness continues. Hope everyone is good.
