At 14, I started losing my hair. My parents never bothered to take me to a specialist. When I was old enough to seek my own med advice, too late.The follicles in my top scalp were dead.There were always people who had to make comments. I couldn't date. I was afraid to let anyone get too close.3 years ago I got a hair transplant. My hair is still not thick, but I can style it the way I want.The years have been kind to me. I kept myself slender, never smoked or drank. I'm 44 but people assume I'm in my 20s. No kidding! 9 months ago I met a handsome pediatrician, Jeff. We married 3 weeks later, and I am now 3 months pregnant with my 1st baby. I'm so happy! But, again the comments by people at work who know my age. "arent you a little old?" "Your FIRST? are you joking?" This is the first chance for me, because all these yrs I was too afraid! And AGE is another thing people use to judge you by. Some of us don't have a perfect plan for our lives early on because of things we can't control.
