i've been on Met that long that i wouldn't be able to say if the hair loss increased when i started it. technically, the Met is supposed to help alleviate some of the PCOS symptoms, so it should decrease the hair loss, but it really only focuses on the insulin resistance, so it might be doing squat for the hair loss - or making it worse!

i went to an endocrinologist just before i started on the Met - and he told me there are meds you can take to stop the androgens within your body (and the hair loss), but there's no way you can take it while you're still TTC as it would be highly dangerous to the development of any male child (sorry if i mentioned that already!) - so i take the hair loss as one of those things i just have to accept. i stopped coloring my hair after we got married as i hated the stained scalp and how obvious the loss was when i had darker hair, so i now just have my natural red... i guess i've started to do things to minimise the appearance, rather than trying to stop the hair loss kwim?
