[Question] hair shedding — is it the drug or the deficit
The title is the whole question — hair shedding — is it the drug or the deficit — but here is why I am asking.
Anything involving pregnancy, contraception efficacy or fertility planning belongs with a clinician. That is not a disclaimer, it is where the answers actually are.
Telogen shedding follows a period of significant weight change rather than a specific compound, and it resolves.
Trial populations for the major programmes were not designed around the questions this board asks most often, which is why the evidence base here is genuinely thinner rather than merely harder to find.

The same dose genuinely feels different at different points in the month for me. Took a year to notice and it was in the log the whole time.
Yes — hair shedding tracks the rate of loss and it is temporary. That reassurance is worth repeating.
the research gap is real and it is not your imagination
Have you asked a pharmacist about the absorption question specifically?
That trial did not enrol the population you are asking about, so it cannot answer this.
