It's been 3 1/2 months (May 18th); no major hair loss yet. Did I dodge a bullet?

I am experiencing shedding but not major shedding.  When am I safe?

Sorry to say...no.  I didn't start seeing hair loss until close to month 5 and it lasted through month 8.

NOT 

Nope, mine didn't start until well into month four.  

That is great you are not losing a lot of hair, but it could still happen later on as it did for me.  Try not to stress too much about it.  If the worst happens, get a new shorter style and it will grow back

I still have most of my hair. It did start to thin just a bit when I hit 50.

I am very fortunate.  I did not lose any hair and my hair is back thick like it was when I was young....I even have curls and never had curls before.  I was prepared to lose it because I did when I had an emergency hysterectomy.  I contribute it to I have kept my protein really high and kept up my vitamins

I didn't start losing mine until about 6-7 months in.  I just the other day had it all cut off to let some of the little whispies catch up.  I have NEVER had my hair this short...  but I'm really loving it!

It's probably just starting (starts around 3 mos post op) and will last a few months and just stop ---just like that.

You may never get "major shedding", but you aren't out of the woods yet.  Many (most?) people don't really start to notice the hair loss until 3.5-4 months out.  I didn't notice mine start until the 4 month mark (and, unfortunately, I lost fully half of my hair.)

Based on what I have read here and the people I know IRL, I wouldn't say you're "safe" until you hit 5 months out.
