I started losing my hair, tons of hair at 5 months out, thought I was going bald. I cried and cried because all that is left is strings.....but.......its finally growing back at 9 months (I look like a baby bird LOLOL).

I did not take anything special nor did not do anything to it to try to get it to come back (my doc said nothing is proven to help anyway).

My point is... to those losing your hair.....

HANG IN THERE !!!!!

That's great news, Eileen.

Wow, you lost that much?

I've been noticing a small bit each morning when I was my hair. Maybe 5 - 8 strands, nothing like a "clump". But I'm just today 5 mos out.

THANK YOU FOR THIS STRAND OF HOPE!!

I strated to notice my hair falling out about a week ago, yesterday it was so bad, my DH noticed .. mentioning that he loves my breasts and my hair and Im looing them both!!

I called my doc and he basicly sid it normal and not to freak out.. also that little could be done...

I have been worried thogh so much that last night I had a weird dream tha the front of my hair grew out down to my knees and the back was bald.!! so Im in at 4.5 months .. so hair we go!!

Wheet's it was soooooo bad. I mean I'm not bald but you can clearly see my scalp now (big part ) and it came out in handfulls, every time I put my hands on my hair it would come out in fist fulls. My DD was so grossed out by it b/c it was every where and the shower drain was packed every time I washed my hair (which is every day). Thank God I had alot to begin with.

Vegas hopefully you won't lose that much.

I had posted about hair loss a couple months ago. But now it has stoped and is coming back also. I had lost about 50% of my hair. It was really thinck to begin with so I was lucky. Man was that scary. I tried Nioxin and a couple other things in the beginning. But it was all a waste of money. I guess all it takes is time. Its a huge relief for both of us. Congrats.

That's excellent news Eileen! As frightening as it is, it really is just temporary, unless you have a metabolic thing going on. It's just simply body trauma, as if that could be described as "simple trama."

((((hugs))))

JB *highfive*

Thanks Crystal, and your right it is scary, especially when doctors don't tell you this could happen. Its almost like a cruel joke ya know to you.

:D

I have really thick hair, I actually get it thinned when I get it cut - I guess I need to tell my girl to stop doing that!

Dang.

Did it fall out that much all at once, or did you start with a little loss that increased more and more as time went by?

Umm, I sound like a real dumb-dumb above.

I don't mean "did all your hair fall out at once?"

I mean - the first time you noticed it was falling out, was it a handful? Or did it start with just a few strands in the beginning, and over time progress to being a handful?

Glad to hear it, I have (I mean HAD) lots of hair but it is looking pretty thin right now. It has to be the surgery and maybe for me not eating much for the first few weeks. I've lost weight before (100 pounds fast) AND never lost hair!

Such great news! My hair "shedding" has slowed and I am growing news ones as well. I loved the "baby bird" analogy.

Are you still losing a bit more than usual or has that pretty much stalled? So glad those "babies" are growing in!!

Wheetsbaby, I think it is different for everyone. I've had it come out in handfuls, (after a D&C and tubal when Spud was a tatertot), and I've had it just sort of shed like a house cat's winter coat.

Hah! the cruel jokes on me, with my red moon face, the terrible acne and the facial hair... :faint:

Wheetsin, my hair loss started with a few strands and is now at full shed! I don't lose "clumps", but every time I was and style my hair I lose a TON of "singles".

It's starting to depress me.

Great news, Eileen! A skinny chick with a big mane of hair!

Hot!

... my DH noticed .. mentioning that he loves my breasts and my hair and Im looing them both...

Ouch, VegasWildFlower.

I know your hubby must love you very much, but I think it would really hurt me if a loved one said that to me.

This isn't an easy journey, so just be confident that hair does grow back (*fingers crossed*) and that breasts can always be 'fluffed back up' a bit later.

Keep your head up.!
