Regular Member jetfan11 Posted September 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 This is why these boards are dangerous people can post anything. Cutting your hair is not going to help shock loss. That's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 jetfan , can you answer my question When can i expect shock loss to stop?I am loosing hair from recipient area .. i went for 800 grafts read so may threads and they say ... hair will start to regrow by 3/4 months....

Regular Member jetfan11 Posted September 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sudhir, Hang in there I feel for you believe me. I had 1000 grafts on top 9 months ago. 2 weeks after surgery I lost EVERY SINGLE HAIR on my head. Was basically bald. Its a horrible thing to have happen. So I know what you are going through. The hair I lost was almost all previously grafted hair. I dont want to scare you because I am sure all your hair will grow back. My hair started to regrow at 4 months. Started not all the way back. I am at 9 months and am probably 70% back to where I was before the surgery which is obviously a huge blow. I will say when this happened I did a TON of research and everyone I talked to got all their hair back and then some. That was not the case for me unfortunately. Keep in mind I went to shit doctor, didnt shave my recipient area and had prp shot so if I made it to 70% back I am sure you will get a ll the way back. Again everyone else i spoke to ended up fine. So hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 jetfan , Thank You very much .. I am now little more relaxed after reading your post. Today i went to my surgeon and he told me that the shock loss will stop in another 1 week should i believe him? i am already 2 week after my surgery and native hair to recipient is already shedding.. Also the hair all over my head are thinning and shedding....... is the native hair only that will get affected or the complete scalp? By any chance can i expect shedding(thinning) to stop soon (may be in 1 month) as it was only 800? Eagerly waiting for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi Jetfan/Fueonly , Just to give an update on my progress...

The hair that are falling id gradually decreasing.Lost around 70-80 hair in total which is very less as compared to in my previous wash. unfortunately they fall native to recipient area.

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Jetfan , if you can tell me like when you started seeing shock loss to stop. I am bit confused here , you said "My hair started to regrow at 4 months". but specifically i wanted to ask like when your shock loss stopped. if you started to see regrowth by month 4 then they should have stopped falling after 1 month of HT. Did they continue to fall for 3 months and then stopped and after that you started seeing regrowth. i hope you understood my question. What are the case with other people you talked . Reading your post , i am pretty sure that they will come back but first they need to be stopped. I have my marriage late November and i want them to be as before by that time. Sorry to trouble you again and again. Edited September 15, 2013 by sudhir8702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi All, Just coming out of my 4th shower after 17 day post HT and my hair fall count was 23(while head was) and 18( while combing).( 41 in total) which is 30 less than my previous wash.most of them form my native hair near to recipient area. Nearly nil from my donor area. Also majority of the hair were thick. hope this count keeps on decreasing and i will get to where i was ( around 10-15) before HT.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted September 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hate to rain on your parade but your hair count is pointless you will have lost a lot more than that you just don't see them in your foam shampoo, they get washed straight down or they fall out once scalp dry a normal man not suffering with mpb will lose about 80 a day on average and not really notice any.

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 Bonkerstonker , I have been on propecia for two years and rarely I used to see more than 20 hairs falling in my head wash ... which increased to 150 or more ( in first hair wash) . 100 in 2nd and around 80 in 3rd . I have not seen such a major hair fall in past two years that too in my native recipient area. I can bet you , the count has definitely decreased ,and what I stated above is correct count "23(while head was) and 18( while combing).( 41 in total)". I just want them to be normal as where it was before HT. can you assure me ,that soon i will see shock loss to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jetfan11 Posted September 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just got to give it 6 months. Sucks I know. I shed worse than I ever did for 3 months with shockloss. At 5 6 months I had grown a lot of hair back. Not all of it but 70 percent or so. Get off thesee boards people here are fanatical and don't know anything. If they've had great transplants they think they know everything and if they've been botched they assume the worst for everyone. Shut it down for at least 5 months and see where you are at like I said I did verything wrong and got back to 70 percent my. Friends say 80 so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted September 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mate seriously stop worrying and relax the more you stress and worry the more your hair is likely to fall out. Just be patient and stop counting hairs the more you watch your hair the longer the time will appear trust me I've had 4 hair transplants. Have you seen my blog? The photos detail shock loss growth very well.

Regular Member quidproquo82 Posted September 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2013 20-30 hairs in the shower + combing is not shockloss. That seems like normal daily telogen hair loss. I think you might be obsessing about it too much. Try not to stress yourself out. As a comparison, two weeks after my FUE procedure, I was losing clumps and clumps of hair in the shower. The trauma to my scalp was probably too much for it to handle and so I lost upwards of 600-700 hairs a day for what seemed like weeks. It was incredibly traumatic to witness my hair loss accelerating at a ridiculous pace. I totally questioned the transplant, my surgeon, whether too much anesthetic was used, and started to panic. I looked MORE bald then pre-transplant. I had a really rough ugly duckling period. By 6 months, I was definitely looking better and I would like to think that most of the native hair that was lost has grown back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2013 hi quidproquo82, If it's a talogen hair fall , tehn why only fromnative area? yes , I do agree that 20-30 hair falinga day may not be shcokloss. But if you read my earlier post , what I am gradually seeing a decrease in my hair fall. it decreased from 150 to 50 , in two three weeks,and most of then were near the recepient area. Can i expect them to stop falling by next one or two weeks. Please see my image attached ad you will agree ,it's a shockloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 21, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2013 hi ,, today i had my 6th hair wash after 21 day post HT and i am very happy to say that ... i lost only around 15-20 hairs. I know its too early to say that my shock loss has stopped ....but definitely it's making me feel very good. I have read so many post that suggest minimum 3 month are required for shock loss to stop, Hopefully it has stopped for me in 3 weeks.But i can only be sure if i do not see any further hair loss. Thank u all , for your support. I will keep updating this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 23, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi , Just a update to all shock loss sufferers , I had my 7th Hair wash today And i am glad to say that my shock loss seems to have stopped.Lost about 23 hairs while hair wash and 11 while combing. I am into the 4th week after HT.I am coming closer to where i was before HT i.e. 15-20 hair fall. Also , i am seeing shedding of the transplanted hair now. My hair have thinned , but i am expecting all will be well by next 3-4 weeks. Will update you on my progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
