Losing my hair - any ideas???

[stanausauruswrecks]

Have any of you suffered hair loss - not the general thinning out kind, but coming out in big clumps kind? DD is a year old and still having 2 BF a day.
I have seen my GP and had bloods done - haemaglobin and Thyroid function are fine, ferritin level is low side of normal, for which I've been given ferrous sulphate. She doesn't think it looks like Alopecia areata, and has referred me to dermatology, but I was wondering if anyone has previous experience of this? TIA!

Mine's not falling out in clumps but I have marked loss in the front of my hairline (hairdresser has commented),had all the blood checks like you and they've returned normal.I do wear my hair back alot.

I have no idea why (possible longterm stress?) but maybe once you have a few weeks worth of iron in your system ,your hair may regain it's previous health.Zinc supplements are supposed to be good for skin and hair growth though.

I have developed hair loss. blood tests are normal and I am now on a short course of anti biotic cream.

health food shop advised I use a hair, skin and nail formula tablet which has Silica and Kelp in it.

So far,some hair has grown back but I now have a new patch developing on my crown.

Not particularly stressed and my younger brother has it too.

Dont worry about it the Dr said !!

{hmm] when I was pg with DD, 11yrs, I lost clumps of hair and my eyebrows. My eyelashes thinned out, but it was so scary....

GP put it down to a hormone imbalance after blood tests so I can't give you that advice as you've down that.

My eyebrows never grew back so I have to draw them on each day!

Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you.
