Anyone got quite significant hair loss (female)?

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

It started about 3 years ago and about a year ago I was diagnosed with female pattern baldness. Bloodwork was fine. No solution.

I'm now a year on and it's significantly worse. I'm mid thirties and don't quite know what to do. I feel like there should be a reason for it and a possible medical solution.

I don't even know how to do my hair to maxomize coverage. I'm conscious of doing anything in public that may display it (eg swimming, wearing hair down on a night out etc).

Doctors only solution is a specific shampoo which (is crazy expensive) has to be used every single day for the rest of my life.

My life is likely to last this long again, so it doesn't feel like a suitable solution.

Would a full hormone check indicate any reason/possible treatment?

If you have this, what do you do? How do you wear your hair?

Oh there is hope. I lost 2litres of blood after having my baby, and didn’t get given a blood transfusion, just iron tablets which I didn’t take for long (stupidly). Four months later and my hair is falling out nonstop and I have bald patches forming. The doctors aren’t doing anything to help me and my mental health is declining.
My iron levels on a recent blood test were 12, so maybe there’s actual hope that my hair will stop falling out now!!
thank you for your post.
