Hi, how are you? I have the same type of hairloss and am having a very hard time aswell, I was wondering if you'd got far in terms of treatment or looking for a cosmetic solution?

Hi I'm in my early twenties, I'm on minoxidal and 2 types of bcp. I really want to save my hair, but I'm also trying to look for cosmetic solutions at the same time. I don't have a hormonal problem, so I'm not sure the drugs will do much. Do you mind me asking what your scalp biopsy come back as? What did your dermatologist recommend? Congratulations about the baby!

Hi, I'm sorry I never got back to you, I had the same experience with derms/docs, I saw some very horrible derms who offered me no form of treatment, a year later after not getting anywhere in terms of looking for a cosmetic solution (wigs/hairpieces) to cover my hairloss (wasn't impressed with anything I saw) I started really researching the treatment route. I found out that treatment can work for some people (stats aren't great) but anywhere I thought I'd give it a try as I felt I had no other options, anyway I'm on dianette, minoxidal, cyproterone and dht inhibitor, this was after seeing numerous derms/endos so I would advise you to not give up, do your own research and then go to the derms/endos prepared. Thats what I should have done at the beginning. I think their good for stabilisation but not good for regrowth, I don't see any real improvement yet (6 months in) in fact I get worried it's worse..but I know in terms of treatment I think I'm doing everything I can. I lost at least 50% of my hair. Apparently can lose up to 50% to start noticing. I was diagnosed a year ago, but unfortunately due to lazy doctors had been suffering from it 3 months before I was officially diagnosed. I am willing to do anything to get my own hair back (literally sell my soul!) so I'm on some pretty strong drugs but it's a risk I feel I have to take. I know not all women are the same so I wouldn't expect everyone to do the same as me.
