Biotin, PCOS and TTC....

I've always had pretty thick hair, but have noticed since coming off BC in 2010 that my hair loss has been significant. Especially when I shower, it's horrible - i know 100 hairs a day is normal, but I'm starting to get very concerned. I know this is a common s/e of PCOS, but has anyone started taking Biotin and seen results? Also, is it safe to take at any point in your cycle or can it prevent ovulation, etc?

    I don't know if this helps at all because it's definitely not raw medical data, but my hair stylist uses Biotin and she is currently PG, but it couldn't hurt to ask your RE. Mine wants to know every single vitamin, supplement, etc that I take.
