for those who have done ivf

by Jenny5, Feb 19, 2009 05:01PM
girls i wanted to ask you something.I'm about to start my second ivf cycle.This time it will be the short cycle cause with the regulaer one we had no luck.During the first time my hair thinned out a lot, specially on the crown area.And i'm afraid it will happen again.My re said that maybe no and that the reason for it is stress but i don't think so cause i started losing hair when i started the injections.I found online that his happens when the ovaries produce many eggs thus producing a higher level of testosterone. Has this happened to anyone?

I have not had this side affect with injections( but it did happen after perming my hair- bad, bad idea), but just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your upcoming cycle.........

It didn't happen to me either. I guess your hair loss was due to stress. This whole thing is very stressful, which is bad when you are ttc. Good luck to you, try not to stress. You are doing all you can and god will soon answer your prayers.
