I just wanted to make an update to document my journey as someone with ongoing shedding (in the 8th month now). I search for other posts about this length of TE/shedding so hoping someone can relate!

I have posts on my page which show results from my blood test in May but I have been keeping up iron and vit d supplements since.

My hair is still shedding, however, looking back at old photos of hair fall it’s definitely reduced. I am shedding more short hairs now though but I wonder if this is short cycling and any regrowth that grew when I was deficient is falling out?

I have contacted my gp again asking for referral to a dermatologist as I want to check for signs of aga. I am concerned as my part is widening and scalp is becoming much more visible in the part line. I’m not surprised though as the amount of hair I have lost is insane. I don’t have other symptoms of pcos or high androgens so i am hoping it is just an awful course of TE recovering from low iron, vit d and folate.

Just trying to hang in there and hope i’m close to the end :(

My TE has been going on for about 6 months now and i’m not really seeing any sign of shedding slowing down.

I have always had really thick wavy hair so thankfully I still appear to others with no obvious signs of hair loss but I’m probably down to like 40% density left and starting to go crazy.

I believe my triggers are low ferritin, vit d and folate. I am on supplements for all since about February.

I’m looking for hope from anyone else who has had TE for over 6 months now and when you saw an improvement?
