Firstly I am new here, so hello to all of you

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 as I started to lose my hair around that time and had irregular and VERY heavy periods. I am 32 now and not a huge amount has changed!
I managed to lose 3 stone in the last few years, and with regards to hair loss, I pretty much did nothing about it as I learned how to style my hair up so people wouldn't notice.
I have been taking pics of my hair loss once a year for a good 7 years now and its stayed at the same level, until this year.
I know how devastating stress can be for me and my symptoms, and this year we were trying to buy a house at the same time as trying for a baby. That coupled with general work stress has now meant that my hair loss has worsened quite rapidly. I have to unplug the bath almost daily now and I decided I couldn't deal with it anymore. Also we don't have a baby or a house!
I felt like seeing the hair loss is a constant physical reminder that something isn't right, and I know how important positive thinking is.
I started to wear a topper about a month ago and feel soooo much better for it. I have the ponytail I have been craving since I was 17! For anyone interested I got a human hair topper from Enchantop. Its such lovely quality and not too heavy (got the medium one). A few people at work know but those who don't just think I dyed/ cut my hair. People are really really unobservant thankfully!
I am also planning on wearing wide hair bands (non tight gentle ones) when I get back from work as you should'nt really wear toppers 24/7. I just don't want to see it anymore!
I guess my question is, for those people who have experienced hair loss with PCOS. I know its progressive, but has anyone else had it get suddenly worse after a long time of it seeming to stay the same?
Thanks,
Cassie
