Thanks so much for getting back to me. Tough choices! I think part of it is accepting that there is nothing "wrong" with me that can be fixed with a medication and that this just happens sometimes. I will read the article on Fin. Best, picassodove

Hi, I've noticed most of the folks on here are guys, but I'm 42 and female, and have been having hair loss for the last 5 years. It's mostly diffuse, but now it's noticeable the front and center. I had thick hair, and now I'd say it's normal, except for the very thin patch in front. If it stopped now I'd be OK but it is showing no signs of stopping and I lose some 200 hairs a day. I've had all blood tests and there's nothing medically wrong with me, which seems weird because only my maternal grandfather was bald--literally everyone else had and has tons of hair into their 70s. Questions: 1. Do I need to wait until the loss gets really bad before I do HT? 2. Do women use fin? I'm not having any more kids (so no issue of birth defects) and Rogaine doesn't work for me. 3. If I can still style it to hide it (which I can) should I wait? I know you aren't a doctor but I am interested in your opinions. Thanks, picassodove
