Hi Joy!
I recently found out (via biopsy) that I have Androgenic Alopecia too. I know how annoying it must feel because there's no way for any lost hair to come back and there is no easy fix. I've been dealing with it for over a year already. My doctor also told me to try the men's 5% Rogain foam. I've been using it since January but I have yet to see any progress from it. I hope you have better luck with it! Maybe it's just too soon for me to see any results.
Much like you, I also find it a little surprising that this hair loss is inherited. Nobody (aside from my grandpa) had hair loss in all of my family! I fact, many of the women had hair as thick as steel wool! I did too, until this little condition came along.
So yeah, try not to let it get you down. I know full well how hard and annoying it might be at times, but don't let it take over your life. You're ultimately the one in control here! Stay strong and keep your chin up.
