I have to clean my drain every time I shower and it's usually about the size of a ping pong ball. I didn't see any real improvement in my hair during pregnancy so I thought maybe I'd avoid losing it! Blegh! No such luck. It's thin to begin with so I'm just praying it doesn't become noticable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1366708 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:12:36 +0000 Pepper 1366708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stopped for me around 6.5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1366698 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:11:33 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1366698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I assumed that PP hairloss would start right away, so when it didn't, I assumed I was home free. Then I hit 3 months pp, and I seriously thought I was going to be bald before it stopped around 6 months pp. So gross. It was my second least favorite pp symptom right behind the crazy night sweats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1366696 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:11:22 +0000 cheert16 1366696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like ti just stopped at 5-6 months- it didn't last that long- but man was it gross to be losing handfuls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1366682 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:09:01 +0000 avivoca 1366682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: Me too.

I'm 5 1/2 months pp currently and it's falling out like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363317 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 09:11:09 +0000 Alivoo01 1363317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 6 months, and I think it's starting to slow down a bit. Month 4 was when it started getting craaaazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363086 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:07:37 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1363086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally thought I'd escaped it, I had no idea it didn't start until 3 months PP. Blah. I guess here's to another few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363082 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:01:18 +0000 shopaholic 1363082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say 3-7 months were the worst. Something of a horror show. It's significantly slowed down and started to grow back - which is even more hideous at times. 10.5 months pp. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363038 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:24:38 +0000 MrsB2012 1363038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 6 months PP next week and it's still horrid :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363016 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:12:17 +0000 autumnlove 1363016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1363001 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:54:14 +0000 fancyfunction 1363001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair is really thick so it wasn't physically noticeable, but there was LOTS coming out every time I washed it. I'd say it slowed down some around 9-10 mo but I still now lose a lot of hair on a normal basis anyway, just not as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1362941 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:05:45 +0000 MoonMoon 1362941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: yes to the broken hair-it felt so weird running my hands through my hair for a while...the whole texture changed.</p> <p>I'm wondering when everything will be back to normal?

I have a ton of "baby hairs" or broken hair right around my hairline and it just looks horrible. I think that the loss stopped around 3-4 months but the new growth needs to take it easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1362901 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:40:19 +0000 tequiero21 1362901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly don't remember, but thank god it stopped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1362899 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:38:38 +0000 MrsStar 1362899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started around 3 months and ended about 7 months, it was horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-had-postpartum-hair-loss#post-1362893 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:35:03 +0000 .twist. 1362893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started around 4 months and now, at 6 months, I have noticed it slow a little, but I still am losing a Buttload of hair.

I have really thick hair so I'm forever shedding but it was intense months 4-6.</p> <p>I realized a few days ago I have 'wings' on the side of my head....like short hairs that stick out above my ears from hair/loss and breakage. They are terrible! </p>
