Hair Loss Already, less than 2 months out! *WHINE*

I'm just here to whine/vent...my hair is already thinning out CONSIDERABLY and I'm only 8 weeks out. I'm getting all my protein and taking all my multis/calcium/etc. per the instruction of my NUT/Surgery team. I know many people go through it and hopefully it'll be temporary BUT it's still bothering me and stressing me out! If it's already starting now, what's it going to be when I hit month 3-4 when it usually starts being an issue for people??!?! Trying to be optimistic but just having lots of anxiety about it, oh well!

I'm going to add Biotin to my routine, not because it can prevent any hair loss but because it'll make me feel like I'm at least doing SOMETHING about it.

BLERRGGGG. Rant/whine/vent over!

Be careful with the biotin. Too much biotin has been shown to encourage facial hair growth in women...I do not know if you are female but this is usually not a desirable side effect.

The hair loss stinks but most of us go through it and will grow our hair back.

Many Thanks Kim, last thing as PCOS person wants is more facial hair, I live in Amish Country, don't want to be mistaken for Mr Yoder or Scheckler!

I'm worried about thinking hair, too, because my hair is already thinking terribly. And, I already have to shave my chin and neck every morning like a guy. All of my labs come back normal...no thyroid or hormonal issues, so who knows what's going on with me. I'm actually thinking about buying a wig for post surgery. N

Ha...thinning hair, not thinking hair. I hate this phone sometimes.
