Babelash Side Effects (HELP)

My lashes are of below average thickness and average length, and I used to over-curl them a lot for years until they finally started falling out. I used took time off from both mascara and curling (ultimately stopping curling altogether) to allow them to regrow. Once they did, I believe I got back into curling them briefly and made the same mistake again. After this time, I was done done for good with curling. I began using a lash serum (babelash prostaglandin free) in hopes of speeding up the regrowth process. It worked wonderfully, and I eventually stopped using it or used it more sporadically when I was happy with the length. However, I have noticed cycles of significant shedding every couple of months while using the serum consistently. Every time it happens, my lashes are left looking thin and patchy, and I am forced to stop using mascara altogether. How can I avoid this annoying cycle? Going cold turkey once they regrow again? Any other lash serum suggestions that don’t have this cyclical and very damaging shedding? It’s a real confidence killer and makes me feel very unfeminine.
