Hi there,

Just wanting to know if anyone has ever experienced this...

I went off the pill in November 2006 (was on the pill for 7 years) and started shedding hair a little in December. I got pregnant in January and had an early miscarriage at 5 weeks.

My hair is still shedding but it seems like even more is coming out...it seems to be only in the shower.

I've seen my Dr. and she says she can't do anything about it and has tested my Thyroid and it's fine.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced this as I'm worried about going bald or when we try again that it's something wrong with my hormones and I'll have another m/c.

Thanks in advance!

hey im really not to much help but could u be stressed out?

any number of things can cause hair loss. changes in diet, medication, pregnancy, stress, changes in hormones, anesthesia, surgery, etc.....

i would take a guess and say it's probably a combo of coming off the pill, getting pregnant and them m/c. that is a lot for your hormones to go through in such a short period of time. give it some time and as your hormones balance out the hair loss should stop. in the meantime you should continue taking your prenatals.

I normally lose a good amount of hair every day, I'm suprised I'm not bald! But when I was pg, the hair loss virtually stopped. But now that I'm back to normal (sort of ) the hair loss is right back, so it could be your body getting back to normal.
