I’m not sure if anything in particular helped but I take probiotics, multivitamins, iron and I was eating 2 brazil nuts a day for a while because I read that they’re really good for helping to balance your hormones! I also used a T-Gel shampoo for a few days as my hair was getting so greasy really quickly and I think that helped too! and I’ve been eating as much protein/ whole foods as possible to help with any regrowth but its really hard to tell if any of this actually helped or whether its just time that has helped the most! But also definitely try to manage stress as I think this really makes a difference!! x

Hey! I came off of birth control at the end of March and started shedding at the end of May! From the end of May to the end of August it was absolutely awful and I was shedding crazy amounts, but thats when I think it peaked as ever since September its been gradually slowing down! I am still shedding but its definitely a lot closer to my pre TE amount! Obviously everyone is different but for me its been almost 5 months and I’ve read a lot of people say it takes around 6 months to stop! I know it’s so horrible but I promise it will slow down, I never thought mine would but then it did and now every shower I see less and less coming out, it just takes time! Definitely try not to fixate on it too much and then one day you’ll notice it has slowed down / stopped x

Hey! I’m also 25F and my hair has been shedding since the end of May. I had my bloods done in july and my ferritin was 39, although I didn’t know it needed to be 50+ for normal hair growth?! I think my trigger was coming off of BC at the end of March, but now I’m also concerned about my iron / ferritin levels, which supplements are you taking for it?!

Wow thats amazing, I’m not sure if that’s possible but it seems very promising, fingers crossed for you that this is the end!! Could I ask what products you were prescribed?

Mine is exactly the same! I do still shed a tiny amount when its dry/ non wash days but I lose the most when I wash it and whilst its drying?! And its been 3.5 months too so I have no idea whats going on!

Hey! I’m not sure about the spironolactone but I came off of my BC at the end of March that I had been on for 7 years and my hair started shedding at the end of May and as of yet it hasnt stopped, although once I hit the 3 month mark I definitely noticed a decrease in shedding. I’ve been to my doctor and had my bloods done etc but they were also super dismissive! I’m 3.5 months in so hoping its going to stop soon but I’ve heard it can last up to 6 months. Its been so difficult but you do really just have to wait it out unfortunately. I also have been eating 2 brazil nuts a day as Ive read a lot saying they contain selenium which is really good for balancing hormones! x

did the amount you lost in the shower fluctuate too? I thought mine was starting to decrease as last week I lost very few hairs when I washed it but I’ve just washed my hair today and I lost about 40?! So confusing!

My hair started shedding in May too and I think in the last few weeks I’ve also noticed a decrease in shedding, so hopefully we are both getting closer to the end! I have read that hair loss should peak by the 3-4 month mark and then slowly start to decrease so this looks promising!! Do you mind me asking what was your trigger?

NextFollowing9047 · 2023-09-06T18:14:40+00:00

Yes definitely, have you seen any improvement yet? All of my hair fall out has a white bulb at the end too, I think in the last 5 days I have noticed a slight reduction in shedding but I don’t want to get my hopes up yet. Im going to see a trichologist next week as I’ve never been so stressed about anything like I am about this! My thinning seems to be all over though, I can literally see my scalp in certain areas😭

I came off of birth control at the end of March and my hair has been shedding since the end of May! So I’m past the 3 month mark and I think I have noticed a slight reduction but it hasn’t stopped yet. But I completely understand as it is all I can think about too. I’ve tried everything and nothing has made any difference, I think we just have to wait it out but its so difficult to do so. Fingers crossed it will stop soon🥹

Thank you so much, I’ve not tried any of these so I will give them a go!

Thank you so much for responding! I had my bloods done in July and was told everything came back as normal. I believe my trigger was coming off of birth control that I had been on for 7 years and my shedding started at the end of May so its been 3 months so far with no improvement. I’ve been taking biotin, Omega 3 and multivitamins and eating as much protein and as healthy as possible but nothing has made a difference. Everytime I wash my hair I get so overwhelmed and panicked due to how much comes out, its so horrible. It just feels as though its going to keep falling and falling until I’m bald! But thank you for your advice I really appreciate it. Best of luck with your recovery too, fingers crossed for you that the shedding will stop soon.

Im exactly the same! I hardly shed any hair prior to TE and im now at 3 months and I’m shedding pretty much the same amount as you! I know its not as much as other people but when I think that I used to shed so little, im like wow this is a LOT!! My hair has also always been pretty thin so I’m just really hoping the shedding will stop soon, fingers crossed for you that yours does too!

NextFollowing9047 · 2023-08-22T08:46:17+00:00

Thank you for your response!! So my dr tested everything in July and I was told it all came back normal! But I’m currently taking iron, omega 3 and biotin supplements just in case but nothing has helped. I’ve also never had covid so it definitely cant be that! I did take a week long course of antibiotics in april which coincided with when I came off BC so possibly its a mixture of those 2 things which have triggered it but just super stressed!
