The men's side has a lot of info on it. They pretty much say it is a scam and a pretty expensive one at that.

I agree. Definitely wait. If you shed on 2% you probably will with 5%.

I've noticed them too. I've always had a few, but now I think that is the primary type of hair growing. I have wavy hair, but these are different and hard to tame. I have been trying to research it on the internet and the only thing I came across was on Keratin.com.....they say that DHT (the...

I cant tell you much about regrowth as I have only been on it for about seven weeks. In the past week the shedding has decreased. I am still shedding a lot more than I used to before I statred thinning, but it has decreased enough that I am not so obsessed and anxious about it all the time (even...

Momof2, I would be hesitant about starting any hardcore treatment before getting bloodwork. If you have hairloss related to thyroid, anemia, or some other type of physical problem then the Rogaine may do more harm than good. That being said, I have been using Rogaine 2% since July. I use 1ml in...

There were two people in the Women's Treatment Forum on Tricomin that had results. As for me, I have been using the Tricomin trio since end of June. I wasnt all that impressed with it. The shampoo tends to dry out my hair pretty badly. I noticed an increase in shedding the first month while I...

I am in the end stages of grad school, which can be stressful. But then again I have been functioning on stress since I started grad school five years ago and I never experienced this. I did switch to Ortho TriCycline Lite in December. I think that might have triggered it. I am back on my old...

I Understand the feelings completely! I have been shedding heavily non-stop for the past seven months and have gone from a thick head of hair to thin hair that I put up with baby clips :freaked: Some days are better than others, but washing my hair is the most anxiety provoking time. My...

It is frustrating not to know the source of your hiarloss. I find that trying to differentiate bx Androgenetic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium is rather difficult. especially if the Telogen Effluvium is not caused by something in your bloodwork. I was diagnosed with Telogen Effluvium b/c my dermatologist thought I was too young to have Androgenetic Alopecia. Yet, he didnt...

The worst for me is washing my hair. On the days that I do I am so upset. SO hard to see the moundfuls of hair that begin to accumulate in my sink. And then I look at my pictures from a year ago and wonder how it all happened. I am trying to be proactive, but the thought of being a slave to all...

I am not sure about that, but a word of caution, if you are on BCP then the tyroid results will be messed up. As I was reading the pamphlet that comes with the BCP (hoping to somehow find the source of my hairloss I guess) it gave that warning. I came out normal on all my thyroid results, but...

I know how you guys feel. I am 27 and I look at my pictures from two years ago and I get so sad because I used to have such great healthy hair. My fiance is supportive, but he is getting overwhealmed by my level of obsession. I cut my hair really short so I wouldnt have to deal with it. I think...

SOrry. It's been a while since I've posted. Just got my bloodwork results back and surprise! everything is within normal limits excepts for my TIBC, which is high. The dermatologist said it is probably Telogen Effluvium, but I dont think he really knows. Plus I just realized he did not test my hormones...

I was wondering also if there is an increase in shedding. Have been using the product for two weeks and still shedding like mad. I know it takes months to see results, but just wondered. I use the spray twice daily and the shampoo conditioner every other day.

I had a quick question. I just got my order of the Tricomin pack and it says to shampoo and condition daily. Is this essential? I have never washed my hair on a daily basis..ust everyother day and was wondering if doing that was going to decrease the possible effectiveness. Of course I will use...
