Increased hair loss after periods

TiaTart · 12-21-2008, 02:43 AM

My hair loss seems to have picked up ever since I started having regular periods. Has anyone else noticed this? I thought maybe it had something to do with my iron, b12 levels ( I take met) but after having both checked I am far from being deficient.
I had the "great shed" about 7 years ago and lost 1/2 of my VERY thick hair. The total time ranged about 6 months. The problem seemed to stabilize until this June, from then on I have had shedding issues. First, it started on my right side hair part. Then it started in my front hairline and sides a little and now it's attacking the back of my head!

I feel very defeated and pissed . It's not like I am not doing anything to change my situation. I am on a weight loss plan and just started taking spiro. I am taking it for hair loss. Which brings me to another oddity, I swear that even though I have only been on it for a week, it seems like I am losing hair faster. I thought I read that the same thing has happened to other ladies on here when they took Spiro. My second question is: If you noticed increased shedding while taking spiro, did you just stick with it? Did it adjust and do more good than bad?

Thanks

I just came here to post about why my hair started falling out again. I have had 2 normal periods and yesterday I had to pull a big glob of hair out of the bath tub drain...and ............I just pulled a big glob out 2 days before...I used to have this problem way back there but now its just making me mad. I thought I was getting my body normal.
