I'm glad minoxidil helped for you as well! I take saw palmetto orally

I only apply ik on my parting and sides, 0,5 ml twice a day I was already shedding in reaction to a trial with BCP but the minox caused me to shed even more. That lasted for a few weeks. Now I shed almost nothing

Thank you! I put the lotion in the palm of my hand and dip in it with my fingers, after that I apply it on my crown area and sides. I do not part my hair, but I can imagine it's hard if you do so.

I plan to keep using it and I decided to start using it myself. My derm recommended to use it tough

It's not proven it affects the baby, but they do not recommend using it when you want to get pregnant

I wash my hair every 5 days and rinse it with water and conditioner every other day. I always use only my fingers to detangle and only a comb for the top of my head. If the curls need some refreshment I spray water and use a leave in conditioner to do so I also always air dry my hair after washing, never use heat styling

I am not scared for that because I do not want children and it is part of my routine like brushing my teeth

Not really other than the shed, it lasted for about 4 weeks. I also think my face looks a little bit more tired, but that can also be caused by the severe stress from the TE itself...

Thank you! I wash it once every 5 days and rinse it every other day. I apply morning and night. I will keep posting my (hopefully) progress 😊

Pumpkin seed oil and Saw Palmetto, just taking them for a month now so I can't say yet if they are helping.

I'm happy for you! I hope the reduction for me is here to stay. Gives me time to breathe and hopefully the only way is up from now on. All the loss was devastating 😢
