My Hair

Well I knew this could happen but thought it could pass me over right? wrong!

I am about 3 1/2 months out. I started getting thin about a 1 1/2 months ago. Its now picking up speed. It is starting to get real thin on top.  So I know people have said before but when can I expect it to stop! I was taking biotin one pill aday until someone mentioned on here about taking 5000 mg (?) So I uped it to taking 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Ugh. Its still not stopping. I don't think I am getting all my protein in. So this past Monday I started tracking. Sure enought I wasn't so since Monday I have and my stall is now over which is good but I am so concerned about my hair.

Some of you said you would lose hair from 3 months to 6 months out. Since I started 1 1/2 months earlier does this mean I am half way through it? Since I have long hair I probably notice it more also.

Oh and I haven't forgotten the clothing exchange I am getting with the pastor today about the date.

Thanks

Im almost 6 mths out and know im not getting enough protein in.
But my hair thinned on top and i got really creative with the way i fixed my hair.
but i only took 1000 aday and it is really getting alot better i started losing  at about 2.5 months.
I know im not much help but i wanted to let you know it does slow down and get better...

I lost alot of heair during that time frame. I decided to get mine cut short to help hide it,a nd that did help! It does stop though eventually. I am having it again unfortunately from the anesthesia from my recent ulcer surgery.

I just started loosing mine last week. Not really noticably yet but alittle, I have been takin 1000 mcgs. everyday since before surgery and I get in 75+ grams of protein a day, everyday! I did up my biotin to 2000, well see if that helps. But protein wise I am doing fine :) 168.5 this morning (giggle inside to self) Good Luck

I was taking Biotin as well and still was losing my hair.  I got a haircut and went short and it seemed to either sto*****t be as noticeable.  You might try a new style and get your hair all cut off.  I dont know how long it will last. I would say it is different with individual people.

Me too. I am getting pretty thin. The NUT told me to try fish oil and zinc to see if that would help. It seems to have slowed a little, but I think I may have to get it cut. Just when it started getting long again. I have bought a few head bands and scarves just in case.
