I Have Lost So Much Hair, And It Will Not Grow. Has Anyone Found Anything To Help Their Hair Grow Again?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I cut my hair over a year ago hoping it would help it grow faster and appear thicker. I’ve always had super thick hair. But now my hair is so thin, stringy, and I swear I have what looks like a receding hairline. You can see my scalp in parts because my hair is so thin. I am so embarrassed. I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror or see any pictures of myself. And since I had my hair cut short, it has barely grown at all. It’s still the same length, and I hate it. I just want my thick… read more

Has Anyone Experienced Hair Loss
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I noticed my hair has been thinning for the last few years but still manageable. Then I decided to stop the contraceptive pill because I’m 49 and thought my body should go through natural progression into menopause. Since stopping the pill I have lost a lot of hair and fear I will lose it all. I am thinking of going back on the Diane 35 contraceptive pill. I take iron, vitamin d, fish oil and hair and nail supplements

Hi, im new here and was really hoping to get some advice. Ive been diagnosed but waiting to go to a different doctor so my PCOS is untreated at the moment. Ive seen that hair loss is a symptom.

Any Advise For Subduing Or Getting Rid Of Hirsutism?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My hormones are balanced but I still deal with hirsutism on a daily basis. So much so that I shave (my face) every day, if not twice a day.

Metformin Cause Hair Loss?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I started metformin two months ago. Since then, I've lost a lot of hair and have gained a sizeable bald spot on the back of my head.

Never had it before. Never had hair loss before. This is the only thing that's changed.

Anyone else experience hair loss on metformin?

Hair Loss?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2007 when I was only 13 and for the past year I have noticed that my hair is thinning a lot. Has this happen to anytime else? If so, how do I stop it?

A myPCOSteam Member

I took Spironolactone in my late 20's to 30's. I stopped using it, but I don't remember why. It did help my hair grow though. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Any Recommendations For Facial Hair Loss?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Besides shaving or plucking what has worked for you? I am super allergic to nair hair removal creams but what else is out there?

A myPCOSteam Member

I use PCOS Naturals facial hair stuff. I don't have 2 shave but every 3-4 weeks...even then it's only a few hairs I can pluck. U should check them out www.pcosnaturals.com
