I just sent you a PM, did you get it?

Girls I've now been back on the pill for about 2 months and I think it's triggered another Telogen Effluvium. I'm sitting here crying and don't know what to do. This is exactly how it started 5 years ago - I went on the pill and 2 months later I suddenly started losing hair. Then I stopped the pill and it got...

Just let me know when you'll be in Munich! :) It's called Ell-Cranell alpha. Tbh I think there might be something wrong with my adrenal glands. All my blood work showed very high numbers for androstendione and apparently this can lead to hair loss. I found a doctor specializing in this field and...

I'd love that! The only people I know who are also suffering from this devastating condition always seem to live so far away.

Beautiful city, my mother's best friend lives there. I'm from a small town near Munich. Tomorrow I'm going to call the Uniklinik in Munich as they have a "Haarsprechstunde", my mother really wants me to go there. But I don't have much hope. I already see them prescribing Rogaine to me.

Which part of Switzerland? I'm from Germany! I would give this a million likes if I could lol

When I called my gyn and told her that I was losing hair she also denied that there was any connection between BCP and my hair loss. Well, interestingly it was listed as a side effect!!! She told me to get my thyroid checked and then get back to her. I mean, come on.... I NEVER had hair loss and...

I'm so sorry to hear about your terrible appointment.. but don't let them tell you to just swallow it. There is a reason why this happened in the first place. Some kind of culprit triggered this. As long as you find the culprit, this is reversible. All these doctors are just too lazy to really...

Is this a joke?! Our burden?! What the hell kind of answers are these? This actually makes me furious. I often wish I had cancer instead, YES I just said that. Why? Because that at least would be a FINAL diagnosis. It would either be terminal or it would be treatable, and there would be a...

Hi sofia, now I completely understand what happened to you. I'm so sorry and I can feel your pain cause the same thing happened to me. My hair loss also started while I was ON an anti-androgenic pill. After I stopped taking it the hair loss got worse and hasn't stopped since. It all started when...

I see, so when did you decide to go back on Diane35 and what effects did that have on the hair?

Oh god this just keeps getting worse. Isn't there anybody out there for whom this constant shedding stopped at some point? Do I understand correctly that you started losing your hair while you were pregnant with your second child? And after pregnancy you went back on Diane35 and it got worse?

I honestly don't know what to do anymore.. the only thing I have left to try is Minoxidil and I'm absolutely terrified of taking it. Have you tried taking Rogaine yet? How the hell do I get rid of CTE?:(

I now went back on the contraceptive pill, too. That and Rogaine are the only two things I hadn't tried yet to stop this neverending shedding. So far nothing has changed, though. Still shedding just like the past 5 years. I'm only in my early twenties and I haven't been able to wear my hair open...

I really hope that Yaz is going to help you, it probably needs time. What I hate about this disease is that it always takes so long to try just one treatment. Anyway, if your Telogen Effluvium really did kick off Androgenetic Alopecia then the BCP should definitely help as it is anti-androgenetic. Can I just ask you what made...
