just wondering at what point people started to notice their hair to fall out. im at two weeks into my bep and am trying to put off having the shave as long as poss.
i know its different for different people but would be good to get an average??
thanks

Day 14 or 15 for me. I'd advise a pre-emptive shave. Once it starts falling out it goes so quickly and it just gets everywhere.
Your hair will come out right before the start of you next cycle.

Oh and definitely a preemptive shave helps a lot as it didn't come out all at once it came out in patches for me, having only stubble helped a lot.

They were right on the money for me they told me the weekend before the start of the second cycle, and it happened on the friday which makes it day 19 i believe. I would recommended a shave highly though, i had my head shaved to a number 0 all over, and it still got everywhere, but body hair was the worse, being half greek, it just got everywhere lol but i wouldnt recommended waxing, no one wants to do that!!

For me, the hair really started thinning out when I was about 27. The rest fell out during my second cycle of EP, at 38:).

I finished my second and final cycle on june 22nd, so hair hasnt started to come back yet however, although i used to be able to grow a mean beard, i never did because it looked kind of incomplete as i couldnt grow a moustache. However, I woke up about a week ago and realised that i was starting to grow one lol, I have shaved it a couple of times and I now have a fully fledged tash, yet the rest of my facial hair has barely started to return and my head hair is still completley absent.
.... chemo is weird lol.
