Hi Octoberbride:

Just wanted to let you know that there is a professional hair care line called Nioxin. I'm not sure if it is available in the US, but it is fairly popular with the salons here in Canada. They have a full system for early stages of hair loss and a stronger formula for advanced stages of hair loss. They also have pills that you take. I don't have hair loss/thinning issues, but I do know of people who have used it and have stated that their hairstylists are commenting on the new growth within 1-2 months of starting to use it. Also, I heard metformin helps a little with the hair loss and that people who use metformin have experienced some relief shortly after starting.

Good luck!

I was prescribed spiro when i was d/x with pcos almost 4years ago and it helped alot in the extra hair area. But then i stopped it since i started ttc. But now i am not ttc any longer till i drop 50 or 80lbs.. Not sure which one i am going to start the ttc @ again lol. But I am back on the spiro and i am noticing again that the hair on my chin is thinner and not as much growing back all that fast.

Does anybody know if its possible for your body to become USED to a medication and stop using it as effectively? For awhile I had noticed some nice hair-reduction from the spironolactone, but it seems to be coming bad as bad as ever.
