You ain't kidding toss were some dark ass days . As you put it. At this point I remember questioning my decision and having surgery But take it from me as I was with BALD spots from shock loss and everything regrew. I have compassion to what your going through but there is light at the end if the tunnel do to speak, To answer your question: Shock loss probably stopped about 3-4 months completely By 5-6 hair was already growing to where it was a noticeable difference. I know it was not just implanted hair be cause shock loss happened all over not just where Implants were placed. As long as you went to a reputable surgeon I'm sure you will be fine. Honest by 7& 8 month I was back on track and felt good about my decision By the 10th month I was flaunting my new head a hair lol Seriously .

Im about 2 years post op If I remember right at about 5 and 6 month shock loss totally stopped and hair started to all regrow. Its a hard period to go through but by the 10th month I was extremely happy with my results. Its been about 2 years exactly and I couldn't be happier with my results. Hang in there

Thank guys!! This forum is always very helpful... I appreciate the responses

Thanks for the positive reply Forest.. I'm hoping that's the case ...,

I started with msm, sal palmetto. Biotin, b complex and Shen min

No I have been with my regular regimen of propecia and vitamins Up until the shedding started .. Does anyone know if my transplanted hair will grow back?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear I only started rogain this week to try and stop the shedding . So rogain is definetly not the cause

With in the last week my hair has started to severely thin and shed to the point of bald spots. Im losing a lot of hair each day even implanted hair. I have been on propecia for 2years now and my results after op was awesome and I was super happy with results. I recently started rogain and other vitamins. Im not really sure what has changed that would effect my hairloss in this manner its as bad as when I had shock loss after sugery. If any one can give me some insight as to if my implanted hair will grow back? Is there anything else I should be doing to combat this situation?

bonkerstonker I definitely had more hair across the top of my head than your post op pics from 3/28/11 I have more of a receeded hairline (temporal) area. I kinda stopped stressing as much about it cause what will be will be... Plus all the positive feedback helped. I appreciate you sharing your story and pics. the shedding slowed down its not as drastic as in the first couple of weeks. what was the date of your surgery? I think we are pretty close in date mine being on 3/29/11 we should keep contact and share further results, concerns or whatever

Hey thanks for the info... I was shedding bad before the use of nizoral. So out of desperation starting trying everything even the nizoral. I was only using it 2/3 times a week but now will stop for sure. Any suggestion for shampoo??

What would you suggest? I was using baby shampoo my scalp got really dry so I started with the nizoral. 2/3 times a week. I just ordered rivita

It is a highly regarded surgeon on this network but At this point I'd rather leave the dr. Name out until I see what goes on with results. They did not shave the recipient area. I'm about 3 weeks out right now and hope the shock loss Stops soon. Were you on propecia of anything else that might help

I totally understand I have not been out of the house with out a hat since the surgery. So I'm gonna have to go hat shopping soon When did your shock loss start/stop Was it just in that area? Or all over This is the worst because I looked fine pre op n now I'm I'm like what did I do to my self!

Thanks spex But It's hard not to be concerned. I'm on Propecia Biotin 5000 Msm 1500 Saw palmetto Nizoral Plus a whole other army of natural vitamins and minerals
