Well it has been a little over 2 weeks and I am definitely in the dread shed phase. I think the shed slowly crept up during the first 2 weeks of use so it was hard to tell for sure if I was shedding more or not, but now it is obvious. I think I was losing about 75 hairs during the morning routine (pre-rogaine) and now I am losing 130-150. The hairs I shed are mostly normal thickness, with an occassional sickly looking hair and a few short ones. Though it is hard to see those nice thick hairs fall, I am hoping that maybe this means that the follicles have not started to miniaturize yet?? Anyone, any thoughts on this?

Anyway, please say prayers for me. This is really really tough. I think the extra shedding is already making my hair noticeably thinner. Right now I am trying to console myself with the fact that I have a wig if my hair gets really bad looking.

If there are any users out there who stuck through the dread shed and had positive results--I've read the posts--just not sure if you guys are still around, please post some encouragement. This is HARD. Thanks so much!
