ninjathen,

The hair shedding you are experiencing is most likely a temporary shock loss from surgery rather than a shedding from the Rogaine foam, given that you've been using it for 15 months. I highly doubt minimizing its use or stopping it will prevent this, in fact, it might help.

Shock loss can be upsetting, but in most cases its temporary (unless the hair was on its way out anyway) and will start to regrow between 3-6 months, around the same time as the transplanted hair.

Best wishes,

Falc
