I feel less confident -thats for sure. It stopped me also from going swiming as I'm paranoid about getting my hair wet.

I self diagnosed AGA as it goes in the line with my body/facial hair. PCOS and all that...However i have a lot of diffuse thinning too. Nightmare , I wish I had the guts to shave it all off and move to the wigs' world...

Hello everyone!

I am a 24 years old student in Edinburgh Napier University. I've lived in Scotland for three years now and last September I decided to go back to Uni. Best decison, confidence booster and I finally feel like I am gettin somewhere. Sadly this came at the same time as my hailoss due to discontiniuing a BCP-logynon. Only recently I found out that this pill's progesteron-levonogestrel, was working as an androgen on me for over a year. Funny enough I was prescribed it by a GP for irregular period and because the scan of the ovaries indicated on PCO, however my hormon levels were normal... I stopped taking logynon in May 2008 and by June my hair started fall out like leaves in Autumn. Firstly I didn't think much of it, just thought it'll go as it came but it never...
So many months down the line , after a camera scan my trichologist estimated I lost 1/2-2/3 of my hair. Yessss I can feel it...and see it when I wash and comb it.
I'm trying to fight and come into therms with it at the same time. I have good and bad days . Trying to keep my chin up, despite this horrible experience, but sometimes I find it hard to stay positive.
