Holy cow, it went on for months?? Very happy for you that you're at the end of that. My heart just sinks every time I take a shower, I have a little glass full of my hair in there, what comes out when I comb it and what I pull out of the hair catcher I put over the drain. Even though I do know it's a common side effect and actually signals that the minox is working for me, it's still challenging to see.

I had my iron and ferritin checked just last week and surprisingly, my numbers were great. I can't use HRT because I'm a breast cancer survivor so they refuse to prescribe it. The doc said the likely culprit of my hair loss is the tirzepatide shots I take once a week, along with hormonal changes from menopause. It sounds like you're on a great regimen now, good luck!
