My husband an I are planning to try to get prgnant after my next period, that is almost 2 weeks from now. I’m using minoxidil foam up until today. My questions are: 1. I have decided to stop starting today, is this safe enough? 2. I’m afraid I’ll start losing my hair. I started prenatal vitamins but is there anything else I can do to minimize hair loss?

For some patients in can take up to 6-9 months to see a return to more normal growth patterns and excess hair to dissappear. Because you have only used it a very short time, the exces hair wil likely disappear within 3-4 months.
You should definitely set up an appointment with a hair restoration specialist. They can check to see if you have miniaturization or what might be going on. There are a number of options they can give you non surgical that will help greatly.
