Another 'hair' question

My hair was falling out a lot. This was unfortunate since I have baby fine hair to begin with.
Around week 30 it stopped falling out. Now and then I lose one or two hairs.
Believe me, I'm very happy that it stopped falling out, however,I am sooooo curious if anyone else has experienced this.
I'm a lb, female 49, undetected <50 at 7 weeks, 24 weeks. My next pcr is end of March which is my 9th month. I was on Procrit for about 2 months and then taken off when my blood levels normalized.

I am pretty new to tx, but I found a link here to another site that recommended using hair products called "Nioxin" and so I ordered them on line. So far, my hair is ok, seems a bit shinier and fuller looking on these products. Like most everyone, I dread losing my hair and am trying to minimize it!

I too had alot of hair lose during first 3 mos of tx, then again around 8 mos. I have been off tx since Sept 03 and its coming back. I had real thick hair to begin with. The 'babybird look" is gone and its still on the thin side but its growing back, actually I like it better thinner :)

I buy mine at the local supermarket, or at the Vitamin Shoppe.
I use Sundown.

Try a typical drug store, near the vitamins.  Or a health store.  I don't know how you tell which brand is better, what dose to use, or whatever.
