A couple of months after starting Slynd I noticed a lot of hair in the plug hole after showering. I have fine but dense hair, so it took some time to realise just how much I was losing. I estimate I lost in a day what I previously would have lost in a week. The hairline behind my ears receded 2-3cm but otherwise I shed all over my head. My hair is now very thin, pony tail barely there, and my scalp is very visible if I wear my hair back. I think I have lost 2/3 of my hair at least. It is still falling out at the same rate a month after stopping it.

Expect to bleed for up to 2 months while you shed your uterine lining (TMI, but you asked!) but if you stick it out, it will transform your life. My lower belly is flat, my skin improved massively, my moods are stable and my brainfog is gone too (though this could be blue light sensitivity/food intolerance-related). Try this if your experiencing massive spikes in estrogen levels around your ovulation, dangerous mood swings, or can’t take estrogen for whatever reason. Lifesaver!
Very positive mood
