Well it\u2019s been a month now since I first started noticing an increase in my hair loss, and it hasn\u2019t slowed down a bit.\u00a0 If anything it\u2019s gotten worse.\u00a0 The only good thing, if there is one, with this hair loss is that it\u2019s happening all over my head rather than just on the top.\u00a0 With the Androgenic Alopecia<\/a> that I had from the PCOS<\/a> it all seemed to come out on the top of my head and the crown but this is coming from all over, thank GOD.\u00a0 If it was all just concentrated on the top I would be seriously bald by now.<\/p>\n

Of course, the top is thinning more as well but there is still hair there and it\u2019s still enough that I\u2019ve not resorted to looking into wigs or hats yet.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure what state my hair will be in after another month of this but I will deal with that then.\u00a0 For now it\u2019s manageable and I think I\u2019m doing a pretty good job of not letting it get me down too much.<\/p>\n

\"Hair<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what came out of my head this morning in the shower. Yesterday the same amount came out\u2026 and the day before that, and the day before that\u2026 for the last month. Honestly, it\u2019s a wonder I have any left.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sharing this to scare anyone, but like I said in my pervious post about hair loss<\/a>, I want to make sure I put it out there so people can get an idea of what it can be like.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean that it will be like this for you, as everyone is different, but this is what it\u2019s like for me.\u00a0 I think when it comes to the hair loss and WLS I\u2019m sort of the worst case scenario.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s funny is, now that I am losing a lot of hair, I keep noticing women around town that have super short or even shaved heads. Not cue ball shaved but GI Jane style.\u00a0 I so<\/em> wish I could pull that off and look as comfortable in my own skin as they do, but alas, I cannot.\u00a0 I also worry that with dark hair that if I go quite short that my scalp will show through even more.<\/p>\n

Like I said, though, at the moment it\u2019s still ok, but I may have to rethink my strategy in a few weeks if it continues like this\u2026 maybe I will chop all my hair off, maybe look into getting a wig… I don\u2019t know, whatever it is I\u2019ll try to make the best of it and continue to concentrate on all the good things that are happening rather than this one bump in the road.\u00a0 The positive changes that have been taking place still outweigh the bad by far.\u00a0 So as long as I can say that I\u2019m happy!<\/p>\n

I know I am late with my 4 month photos and update, but I will get on that this weekend!\u00a0 I have a lot to tell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
