Female Needing Support

Bill: Thanks so much for your reply. It did give me a bit of hope. I guess for women it is more frustrating when you see tiny "buzz cut" looking hairs and you think how much longer they need to grow before you notice a difference. The hair that is falling out is mostly from the top of my head which is the area where I had the transplant. I first noticed the loss when I developed a quarter sized bald spot on the front of my head behind my hair line. Luckily there are hundreds of little hairs growing so it looks dark and it not too noticible since the hairs form my hairline also cover it up. I had 1500 grafts implanted. I actually decided to go meet with the surgeons consultant this week. I will see if they can provide me with the before and after pics. They have the pics they took just before the procedure. One question I have is that the donor scar has healed well but is always itchy and a bit irritated. I don't know what to do the itching drives me nutz since I try not to scratch to avoid damanging any hari around that area. Any suggestions?

I am a 23 year old female and have been diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia. I have been struggling with hairloss since I was in my teens. I recently had a HT with Dr. Leavitt in Heathrow, FL at the end of October. I have had gradual shock loss but I am now at 2.5 months post op and recently my hair has been falling out in clumps. It scares me to run my fingers through my hair because of the amount of shedding. I am sure this is due to the HT. I need support from any other females that have had a HT. This is an emotionally devastating problem for women and what hurts is that its not very common so I am looking for others in my position that can offer advice/support/help. My hair has definately gotten thinner since the HT due to the shock loss but I am hopefull since I do see some hairs growing in. If anyone can share their expereinces or advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
