Hi, I am 30 years old mother of a 3 year old. I was loosing lots of hair few months back so I went to a dermatologist for help. He suggested use Rogaine, I started doing so. My bald spots were covered with lots of baby hairsN was happy with. I constantly used it for 6 month or so. But then I have stopped using it as we were planning for 2nd child. But I am shadding lots of hair and again seeing lots of bald spots on my head. If I start using Rogaine again, will I be getting same results again?
