it is quite dry but its long strands. Like everytime I run my hands through my hair it will be anything from say 10 strands to one or 2. What was or is the reason for yours do you think? Ps sorry if we have discussed this before. I have a shocking memory.
Im hoping its not that im getting estro dominant. ..
I am sorry to hear that Ella.
It might be the thyroid (I am hypo) or it might be iron deficiency or something is not right with your hormones.
Did you stop taking the EPO? You once wrote that your hair was shedding way less after you started taking EPO.
Gawd I hope its not hypo... or hormones for that matter... I have tapered off on the epo. Maybe I need to re look at upping it again. That said if epo is masking a bigger issue then I might have something to think about. Il watch it over the next month and do a big detox if it doesn't clear up
I hope it will stop soon.

It is the Siriporn brand - 120 capsules with 100mg each. I read many good reviews about this brand. Apparently this brand has a very good quality and works stronger than the Ainterol brand. Still it is just 100mg per capsule and I will start to take it next cycle on cycle day 3 for 12-14 days (depends on my temperature etc). I hope it will arrive until then. I am currently on cycle day 19 and should get my period in around 2 weeks.
I will take just one capsule per day during the first cycle and see how my body responds to it.
So exciting! 
Cool Peggy ! finally you did it !

I had this happen to me. Estrogen dominance is what I thought it was. It happened when I started taking too many estrogen herbs many years back. This is part of the reason why I'm so weary on taking herbs.

That's right, I do remember you saying that, I was going to ask you too.
I certainly am going to keep a good eye on that. The problem is my hair has gotten VERY long and dry at the ends as I haven't cut it in so long so I figured that's not helping matters. But yes have been discussing with Peggy its time soon I get a hormonal test when I can afford it. My period however is still completely regular so I thought that if I was in fact getting E Dom then surely my cycle would be affected negatively in some way... But I don't know a lot about that stuff :s

Having regular menstrual cycle is a good sign, but the hormonal test is important: for eg last year I had a 50 days´s cycle so I had a panel done because I thought that I was estrogen dominant, but my estrogen levels were normal ( a bit low) and my progesterone levels were a bit high for follicular´s phase (that was weird because I´ve never taken anything to raise progesterone). I´ve concluded after reading that the problem with my cycle was that I had supressed ovulation for taking pueraria till day 15.

Yes your right Ceci. Once I finish up with the natureday programme and if I decided to try low level doses of PM for a while I absolutely wouldn't touch the stuff until I got a panel done for sure!
Thanks Ceci.
I just came back from the lab. Did a hormone test (CBC, TSH, fT4, estradiol and progesterone). Tested for prolactin some weeks ago, so did not repeat that today. Also testosterone was tested many times in the past and I was always in the lower range. Really looking forward to receive the test results. The last time I checked estradiol and progesterone is 10 months ago. Should have the result of todays test on monday.
I wish I could get a hormone test done. I don't even know how that's done in The States. I'll bet my testosterone's sky-high.
