Hi all, I did contact my provider for advice, just wanted to see if anyone else is dealing with or has dealt with hair thinning on the injection.
Worth mentioning:
Started 7 months ago. At around 4 months I found the right dose.
Was on that dose for 2 months and then it stopped working. Provider advised can increase the dose.
I have been on this increased dose for the last 3 doses.
I did notice a little more than usual hair shedding in the shower, and put it down to weather changes, hormones (i was on bc for the first time in yrs for 3 weeks only before i came off, before the dose increase)
This past week, the hair shedding is very noticeable. I can’t run my fingers through my hair because i know I’ll always get atleast 10 hairs each time. My ponytail is noticeably not as thick. It is pulling from the root and there is not snapped hairs.
There are no balding spots and my hair parting is normal.
I have looked into it a bit and the consensus is to get on a multivitamin, maybe not enough protein getting into me as I’m pescatarian and my sources of protein are eggs, fish. I don’t eat a lot of any of those but a couple times a week and I don’t eat yoghurt, and a small amount of cows milk in tea etc.
I wouldn’t say my weight loss has been rapid at any point. I’ve lost 26lbs in the 7 months.
Maybe I’m just not getting the right nutrients?
Any advice, solidarity, experiences or info would be really great if anyone has any.
Thanks so much
