Has anyone had male pattern postpartum hair loss?

I'm not talking about normal postpartum hair loss where you lose the extra hair that didn't shed while you were pregnant. I'm talking about a seriously receding hairline, all over thinning and bald patches.

I had this with my first, I was anaemic so I thought that was why it happened. It grew back eventually. Then I had it again after my second, but this time I was definitely not anaemic (hb, ferritin and b12 all really high). It grew back again eventually. But I'm trying for a third and really keen to avoid the bald patches next time!

Did anyone have this kind of hair loss after one pregnancy but not after another? Do you have theories as to what you did differently? Vitamins? Hormones (birth control)? Medical conditions? Anything else?
