Am EC post 16 days. Started to lose my hair couple days ago and had it shaved to a number 1. Now it seems to have stopped to an occasional hair. Some of you say your hair comes out in clumps. I am nowmwondering if shaving was a bit hasty or will it still come out? I was sure it would be all gone by 2nd EC. It is coming out down below and on my arms. Can I ask what experiences you ladies have had?
Hi,
Unfortunately, I think if your hair has started to come out it will keep coming out, it is the ‘E’ that does it. I had FEC, and my hair started coming out 14 days after the first session, as this was a few days before Christmas I didn’t shave straight away as I didn’t want to upset my mum. so did it when I got home. It didn’t really come out in clumps, only when I washed it or ran my fingers through it. After shaving it only came out if I rubbed a damp hand over my head, then only a few hairs at a time.
I completely lost hair in my armpits and down below, I was lucky that my eyebrows and eyelashes didn’t totally disappear.
Mine is now coming back, and 4 months after last FEC is over an inch long, but really soft, fortunately no bald patches.

Jenben i too am day 16 post 1st EC and my hair started to fall out couple of days ago, just when i gave it a tug. So today i shaved it to no 2 feels weird, but my son thinks i look cool! I have not noticed so much hair coming out now, i guess thats because its so much shorter. And yes my “Lady Garden” is shedding as well. Not looking forward to losing eyebrows & lashes.
About to do EC number 5 and have been using the cold cap … but unfortunately it didn’t work for me … and have just had all my remaining hair clippered off (no 4) as I had some bald patches and it was so thin … I am wearing wigs or bandanas all the time now.
I agree the ‘E’ is the one that does the damage and the nursing staff weren’t surprised my hair fell out. Good Luck … it actually feels so much better now its gone.
