Hi Tabitha. That's interesting. I need some more blood work before I make a decision about this. I've had some widely fluctuating TSH values, so it may turn out that the hair loss is related to that rather than to androgens or estrogens. I'm reluctant to take the pill because of a family history of blood clots and strokes. Until recently, I've always had a lot of hair. I've been gobbling B-vitamins as if there were no tomorrow. I think they help a little bit. If I weren't taking them, the hair loss would probably be worse. I'm glad the Rogaine is helping you. Have you seen a shampoo called "Progaine"? I saw it in the store today. I didn't buy it but I'm curious about it.
