Grrrr. My hair is still falling out.

It stopped shortly after my BFP and now has started again. I feel so dumb that I didn't even realize that I literally have a receding hairline in the front until DH pointed it out tonight.

No more pony tails for a while...

Well, since you're preggers again maybe it will stop soon? Oh wait, just re-read your post, so it stopped after this BFP and then started or it had stopped with Linus and is just starting again because your new hormones haven't fully kicked in?

That totally stinks it's picked back up. It might be worth a mention to your doc since it may be a sign you're lacking in some kind of nutrient. Keep popping those PNVs, mama!

I hate to say it, but now that you're pregnant again, it's probably going to keep happening for awhile. Your body is being put through the hormonal ringer, ya know?

Maybe up your FA intake. It's good for baby and good for your hair (my hair started looking awesome after my MTHFR dx, due to all the FA I was on. Didn't exactly make up for what I was dealing with, but I did have a darn nice 'do.)

Mine is still falling out in handfuls. It's been over six weeks of daily hair loss. I can't wear pony tails either because the sides of my head have little bald patches. It's horrifying. Sad

Thanks.

Yeah, it started a couple weeks ago all of a sudden. Literally (it seemed) not a single hair fell out my whole pg up until a couple weeks ago. Then all of a sudden just handfuls at a time. A few days after I got my bfp it slowed down and completely stopped. Now it's started again. It's embarrassing to have bald patches when your husband doesn't.

Ugh. I thought the increasing hormones might help it since it seemed like the hormones decreasing caused it. You're right though. I didn't think about the extra folic acid. I'll definitely do that.
