Hi all, I wanted to post today because I feel like my situation may be getting a little better and I feel like there aren't enough optimistic posts on here.
For a little background history on me, read this: http://forum.womenshairlossproject.com/showthread.php?t=887
It has been one year since I stopped using the BCP, enpresse was the name of it. I have definitely noticed regrowth all around my scalp, although sometimes I'm not sure if it is just regrowth that would have normally been coming in anyway. While I'm so happy to see it, I constantly wonder if it is thinner than it should be. My hair is still so super thin, and I am very self-conscious of it. Something odd that I noticed is almost as soon as I stopped the BCP, I had several white hairs start to grow in (by several I mean maybe 10-15. Maybe that means those hair follicles are waking up? I have also noticed there are several hairs growing in super thick. I was using Rogaine foam but I just quit that recently. I was only using it every other day anyway so I felt like it probably wasn't helping much. I started taking spironolactone 50 mg about six months ago, and while I'm not sure if it has help my hair or not, it certainly has helped my terrible acne. I figure that means the acne was hormonal, so the hair loss must be too. I do have to use Toppik when I go anywhere, and I have been wearing hats and bandannas pretty often.
Ugh I am just so sick of this! I would love to have the super thick hair that I once had back. It was so thick I would have to have it thinned, or razored. I even remember when it first started thinning and I though "oh this is kinda nice, its a little more managable now." MAKES ME WANT TO GO BACK AND KICK MYSELF IN THE ASS!!
