Had PRP, shedding, wondering if anyone's shed ever resolved in net gain?

Hey, Guys! I'm a woman, but the women's forums everywhere are real sleepy and I'm hoping to get some of your experience on this.

Also, I've read the threads about PRP on here, and they don't look great. Unfortunately, thee's not always enough follow-up for me to judge.

I'm 29F and have a history of big hormone-related sheds throughout my teens and twenties, any time I went on or off BCP or had a baby. Had some iron deficiency, corrected that months ago. I think it helped a bit. Thyroid appears normal. I do have a strong family history of thinning.

I thought I'd try PRP before I committed to Minoxidil because I was so afraid of the dread shed. Well, two weeks after my first PRP session (no ACell, with lidocaine, Eclipse machine), my hair started falling out. I'm losing 4 or 5 times as much hair as usual. The doctor wants me to come back for my next scheduled appointment, but I'm not sure that's a great idea since she can't explain why this is happening.

So anyway, now I'm wishing I'd tried other stuff (even if it's associated with a shed), because at least it's cheaper and you have some hope that the shed will stop and your hair will grow back. I have no idea what's happening to me.

What really pisses me off is that when I specifically asked about shedding, everybody at the office was like, no, that doesn't happen, we haven't seen that. And now the doctor is saying, "Come back for your next session. This is part of the process."

Anybody have PRP shedding that resolved in a net gain?

Would anyone who had multiple sessions of PRP suggest I keep going with it? Part of me thinks it's a bad reaction to the lidocaine, and if I tried it without anesthesia I'd be able to tell if it's really the PRP. But then. I also would like to try something that actually works sooner than later, too.

Thanks for your answers! I'm a longtime lurker. I love you guys.
