Has Anyone Ever...

I recently realised that I had an enormous shed. My normally iii hair is now down to a lower ii, and I also lost length. I have gone back to barely shoulder from almost below my shoulder blade. Has anyone else experienced such a shed? what did you do to recover? I would really appreciate hearing from people who experienced such sheds and recovered (or are recovering)

PS: After the big shed, my hair is now back to normal amounts of shedding (50-100 hairs a day). I had no medical issues at the time of the shed (although now I have a nagging headache and almost continuous nausea and vomiting after meals).

From iii to barely ii is a *lot*, more than normal - oh boy! I'd get thee to a doctor pronto to get some bloodwork done and to get a full physical. It's way too strange and odd to just deal with on your own. Something hormonal could be going on. You might have a shortage of some kind. Get it checked, that would be my advice. :) :flower:

I'm so sorry about your shed! I hope that whatever is causing the headaches and stomach ills is resolved quickly. There is a thread for shed support - http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=134545.

What about pregnancy...? Reminds me of my first trimester...
My body was getting rid of ballast to prepare itself for something BIG. An almost 5 kilos heavy baby. :D

I am currently having my withdrawal bleeding (I am on the pill.). But I was recently worried I was pregnant. I might have to do a pregnancy test soon

Didn't you chemically treat your hair recently, if I remember correctly? It's a good idea to consider that as a possible cause of your shedding.

So, when you have your withdrawal bleeding regularly and didn't take antibiotics or other medication or had a whole day of diarrhea or forgot a pill I don't think that it's possible that you are pregnant... But sometimes it's good to do a test anyhow...
