Yes, started a couple weeks ago. I HATE it! I'm constantly picking hairs off of DS, it's disgusting, as is my shower drain.

Yes! I'm so scared of getting bald spots.
TTC with PCOS since November 2009

IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN
IUI#3 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP!
beta #1 11/23 = 270, P4 = 75
beta #2 11/28 = 2055
Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012!
Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!

For awhile now. I am lucky I have thick hair to begin because I have lost so much.

I lost tons of hair for a long time. It's better now. My relative lost her eyelashes even! I never would have believed it if I hadn't heard it from her! So crazy!
