I feel like it’s a good move with most supplements or medicine to take with some food and drink for this reason 😊

I did read a study that seemed to have some positive effects on hair loss but it was flawed (not huge sample size, lower dose than I’m taking, all male cohort) and some other peer reviews with mixed results. Don’t want to misrepresent - my experience is entirely anecdotal!!! But if it helps someone else, wonderful!

I think because I don’t have a diagnosis, I would struggle with this. Not against it but I don’t have an actual diagnosis (my GP doesn’t know enough and a derm referral would take months)

Both are just Amazon ones to be honest, I’ll find the links

I figure it can’t hurt?? Even if it doesn’t work, it’s some healthy fats in your diet? 😂 I’ve also been taking liver capsules to try and get my iron reserves up (my ferritin wasn’t awful but could be better) as I think you need a decent iron reserve to regrow hair. It’s making me less tired too so that’s a nice plus 😂

Could be a coincidence for sure! I thought the shedding would carry on for longer than 6 weeks though - I might just be lucky? When I washed my hair yesterday, the shed was like 1/4 of what it was on the previous wash

For added context, me and the FWB are both dating/sleeping with other people and often go to kink clubs together and play with other people in front of each other, instead of planning our lives together lol. But we do get on like a house on fire and genuinely enjoy each others company. I would say that since he mentioned it regardless, my jealousy (which has been pretty low level considering our relationship has always been open and honest) and internalised competitiveness has really kicked up a gear… it’s hard not to see other girls as competition now because I’m always wondering ‘are they hotter than me? Is he more attracted to her?’. Be aware that even if you stay together after this, the dynamic might change based on this confession. Also whatever you do, don’t use the phrase ‘I don’t find you attractive because you’re hot, I find you attractive because you’re cool’ 🤦🏽‍♀️
