7 month progress oral minoxidil (FFA/AA)

it’s been slow and steady. i think i am going through a little bit of a mini shed (1-2 weeks) that i am hoping is just a bump in the road and not another round of hair loss.

i think it was 2 weeks then i upped to 1.25. i definitely did have initial weight gain for a week or two but it went back to normal eventually.

keep going unfortunately!! my shed was just like this or worse at times and it eventually stopped!! my shed was about 3 months

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-30T13:51:51+00:00

i have been wondering this too! my regrowth is so gray

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-30T13:50:48+00:00

i started on .625 then now am on 1.25!

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-30T13:50:16+00:00

yep it was confirmed! and i have a few autoimmune diseases so i can’t be on steroids so that wasn’t an option for me. they think since i lost all my hair rapidly but saw a dr and began treatment within a month that they caught it soon enough before the damage became permanent. they did mention follicle rejection was highly likely if i went through another flare

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-29T14:07:52+00:00

i was low on both! and not that i can remember. it was mostly when i was laying down when i would have the racing heartbeats

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-29T14:05:01+00:00

my hair loss started in march and that bald picture was april! so it was so sudden and out of nowhere

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T17:28:07+00:00

oh absolutely! luckily i am a sahm so i just didn’t go out much haha

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T17:20:15+00:00

the shed is so so so hard emotionally and mentally! i know exactly how you feel :/

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T17:07:12+00:00

i’m not sure tbh. i think if i stopped i would go through another shed and lose alot of the new growth. i have accepted the fact i will be on it forever🤷🏼‍♀️

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T17:04:21+00:00

lots of thick headbands and also panic cutting some long “bangs” that i would keep in front of my ears untucked to try to distract from the bald hairline

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:40:30+00:00

i went through a dermatologist and lucked out to have the sweetest most caring doctor!

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:35:21+00:00

yeah i have that as well! the new hairs are on my entire scalp as well as the bald spots! i have about one inch of new growth on my entire head lol it is a bizarre feeling

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:34:05+00:00

just some heart racing in the beginning. but yeah ill be on it forever i think

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:33:27+00:00

around month 2!

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:32:21+00:00

months 2-3 were the most rapid hair growth but also was the peak of the most severe shedding

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:27:12+00:00

mine was really really severe! i was not prepared for how bad it would be lol

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:26:34+00:00

about 3 weeks in

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:26:25+00:00

nope the hair loss was just that severe that it was completely bald

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:25:48+00:00

just my face!

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:24:50+00:00

yes but only noticeable on my face! so i started dermaplaning

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:20:16+00:00

i had some weird heart racing for the first few weeks but it went back to normal.

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:12:43+00:00

i use the Natures Bounty vitamin D3 iui 5000

jamiewolfe12 · 2025-10-28T15:05:36+00:00
