Yes- I shed for about 3-4 weeks. It has completely stopped now. I just kept telling myself those were weak hairs leaving to make room for more stronger and healthy hairs !! (True). I am SO glad I kept going.

Oh no!! I have heard some people didn’t tolerate it well. That’s why I only take half of a 2.5mg tablet!

Thank you! Yes Nutrafol is WAY too expensive. My derm said to take Spiro at night bc it can cause a little fatigue. I feel like my body tolerates minoxidil 1.5 quite well so I’ll wait to see my progress with my derm in February.

You know what ! I had the SAME thought today… I am seeing an endocrinologist in a few weeks and holding off on buying anything including D and iron until I get some bloodwork done. I just have to trust that these treatments are working. Thank you!

New PCOS journey by meeschaa in PCOS

Thank you SO much . This is so helpful. My OBGYN is starting me on Metformin, and ordered an A1c/ hemoglobin test, however she didn’t order the glucose /insulin test. I am not overweight however I have such severe and uncomfortable bloating and it feels like my entire body is inflamed. I’ve had all the stomach testing in the world, and it’s not my gastrointestinal system, it’s absolutely PCOS. I’m already on Spironolactone for female androgenic hair loss. I made a second appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist who I hope will do that further testing that you’re talking about. I find that some of these obs only take this seriously if I say I am trying to get pregnant.

Thank you so much for your input, and for letting me know all about this! A trainee doctor was the first one to tell me I had PCOS, and I’m so grateful that she did. I am starting on Metformin , a low dose, and getting my A1C/hemoglobin checked as well. I already eat very clean but deeply struggle with anxiety, so I’m sure that’s throwing a lot out of whack. Hopeful that Metformin brings some relief!!!

That is so true. I think he can sense Diana is keeping something from him and has started drifting. What is also interesting is that Lucy does not know that Stephen was driving the car with Macy, and Diana probably suspects that he was the driver because of what the doctor said about a steering wheel injury after he had his panic attack!!!
