When to resume Rogaine postpartum?

Question

I was previously prescribed 2% minoxidil and spironolactone for biopsy confirmed androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium, which I took until trying to become pregnant. I'm 6 months postpartum and have just started experiencing diffuse hair loss more in line with telogen effluvium. I know minoxidil is safe to apply topically but am wondering when to time resuming it because of the initial shed I got with it before. Please advise

Are you breast feeding? If not, you can resume using topical Minoxidil and just need to know that you may experience the initial shedding the same as last time but it cold also not happen this time around.
