I'm 21 years old. During my time in Spain I lost some hair and then when I came back from my trip I lost some more. My doctor told me to use Rogaine for women. I did for about 1 month and then stopped. I'm trying to use it again. But, honestly, I feel it's a bad idea to use Rogaine considering my age and that there are natural remedies out there. My dad is bold though, mom has great hair. I think my hair loss is do to the fact that for a year I experienced a lot of anxiety and would comb my hair with my fingers when I was feeling anxious. Should I stop using Rogaine. I read that once you start using Rogaine you can't stop using it is that true? I don't want to be a slave to any medicine.
* I'm not bold, I just lost some hair* I can notice it, but other people can't unless I mention it to them. It looks more like my hair has thinned a little bit.
I meant bald not bold.

I'm wondering if I might be going through menopause…I'm only 31 but for the last seven months I have been having major physical issues. My mom and my grandmother didn't go through menopause until their 60's and none of my sisters have experienced any of these symptoms but I'm not sure what else it could be. My symptoms are these: hair loss, weight loss/gain (it constantly fluctuates), haven't had my period in seven months, facial hair growth (a lot of it!!), hot flashes and constant acne.

I talked to a doctor about this four months ago and he told me it was stress. But I'm not stressed, I have nothing (except this) to worry me! I'm really starting to get concerned especially because my husband and I want to start a family. Can anyone help??

people, I need your help. I can not afford any programs or specialists or doctors.. I don't have that kind of money. I hate going to the doctors.
I have been noticing that I am losing my hair. It makes me cry every time after I wash my hair. My hair is pretty and naturally smooth. My hair is the one of the things that I like most about myself.
My dad has thin hair. I took that from him. My mom has thick hair and she is starting to lose it just a little bit cuz she's going thru the menopause stage which is normal.
With me, its not normal. Its upsetting me cuz I just turned 19.
There is NOT any bald spots that are noticeable.. it's just when you look at my hair from far, you can tell that I have thin hair.
Mom says that it is like that because I use a straightener.. but I only use it once every two weeks or sometimes once a week.. the normal..
What do you think I can do to stop it??
Any natural solutions?? Anything that you have tried and worked??
Please tell me. I really need help. It's affecting my mood and selfsteem.
I looked at so many sites.. the causes and the treatments… they're usually just pills or shampoos.. products that you buy from the internet using credit cards. I can't do that. If you know of a product that I can buy from a store like Walmart or any other store, please let me know.
This is very important to me so please dont kid around or give out info that your not sure of.
10 points and 5 stars for the bestestest resonable answer!

Other details that might help you eleminate suggestestions:
I am usually stressed in my relationships. I am still suffering with the one guy that I love who apparently does not love me back– but I am working on it– helping myself let go.
I am also stressed when it comes to studies. I am a hardworking student. I go to college and I study hard.
I do NOT work… so stress coming from that.
Recently my mom was in the hospital but now she's out and better. While she was in the hospital, I didn't really take care of myself and overall health.
Also my mom is going thru a divorce.. from my dad aboviously. I am doing all the work for her. She depends completely on me while she goes out to work her put off to support me and my brother.
That is pretty much my life and how it has been for the past year. that might help I hope..?
Guys, I am trying to help myself. Guide me. I don't want to go bald!! I want my hair to grow back and be back to healthy and kind of thick as I used to have it.
