20 weeks
I am really happy I made it 20 weeks. Have not pulled at all. But theres still not much growth. The spot on the left side of my head has no growth at all. I'm really scared its never going to grow at all. I also know that this is why I don't pull anymore. Kind of like an alcoholic that has hit rock bottom. I pulled so much for so many years, I now have permanent damage. I wished I could have stopped pulling just a little sooner, because that spot was growing last year, but the most recent damage had really damaged it. I am proud of myself, but I wish I was able to do this before I had this permanent damage. I have never stopped pulling for this long, since I first started when I was 12. Even the growth on the top of my head is really thin, the scalp is still completely visible. It's extremely upsetting to stop pulling and not see any growth.

first of all CONGRATULATIONS for going 20 weeks, that is fantastic news.
i think you need to see the positives young lady and stop regretting the what if\'s .. lord knows i have been there, i too cant see much new growth , perhaps it is our age and length of time, we have been pulling, but you have to think of the freedom that you have gained from not pulling. i reckon the regrowth may take longer for us, due to age, but you have to remember, its not getting any worse.. it can only improve ! you need to be celebrating.. i will be when i reach 20 weeks !!!!!
