I had another question its been occupying my mind these last few days. Pcos causes thinning hair male patter baldness true because I have it also. My hair is extremely thin especially in the front middle and on each side above my temple. How much worse does it get after the surgery? I'm just trying to prepare myself because from what I've read there will be hair loss after surgery.

I have always had an irregular period. From age 12-17. Obgyn put me on ocella (estrogen) and my periods got extremely heavy when i took the "off-week" dose. She did ultrasound (pelvic and transvaginal) and found cysts on both ovaries. Also, blood work showed i have a blood clotting disorder thats genetic called Factor V leiden. So she immediately stopped the estrogen and started me on the depo provera shot once every 3 months. The depo will help dissolve the cysts. After the first 3 shots, i have NO period. So for the past 3 years, i have had no period, only sometimes slight spotting. BUT, when i lose weight rapidly, even while on depo, i get a period. This is because your body stores estrogen in fat, and we are burning so much fat with this restricted diet.

My surgery date is sept 14 and ill keep yall updated!

I had surgery june 26. My hair has not come out thank God. I wear a natural now. I use a Protein shampoo and conditioner. I use BB products. I use leave in too.

I was worried about that too. Our bodies are different. I had to take a break from this forum. I was driving myself crazy listening to everybody.

Im back to eating my applesauce and unflavored protein.

Don't worry. You will be ok.

Plus, I stop perming my hair. Back in June. I love the natural look. It is so easy. I have a min afro now. Im looking forward to wearing my hair up in a ponytail . Have you tried using Protein? I was watching a Utube video. This lady was saying her hair was coming out really bad after surgery. She said she used a raw egg in her hair. She used the egg as a conditioner. She showed before and after pictures. Her hair started to grow back after using the egg. She Massage the egg through her hair. She also said she was not getting enough protein either. She said that's what made her hair come out.

I know how hard it is to get enough protein. I just started eating again. I was sick for a couple of weeks. food and drink would not stay down. Im proud of myself I was able to get down 25 grams of protein today without getting sick.
