So my hair has been falling out since about 6mo pp and I am starting to notice that it is getting really really thin around the temples. Has this happened to anyone else?
I also have little sideburns starting to grow AHH!!

I lost mine and had actual bold spots forming with HUGE clumps being lost in the shower, while brushing and just throughout the day!! Ends up that I had an undiagnosed thyroid condition. I continued to have issues until my levels got regulated on thyroid medication and haven't had any issued since.

My hair starting falling out around 3 months pp and I kept shedding until about 6 months pp. Now at 8 months pp I have little hairs growing around my hairline that can't be tamed with hairspray...and sideburns ugh!

@anbanan15: I was worried about this about a month ago so I went and had all my levels checked and they were fine. It is so scary. When did you start to lose it?
@littlecasita1122: At this point I would welcome some regrowth!! The sideburns are terrible though.

mine started at 5 months pp and it's been happening for a month now and i swear my hair just breaks off. i have reallly long hair and i wouldn't be surprised if i get bald spots....its gotten so thin!

@littlebittyhouse: oh I'm so glad you had your levels checked! I can't remember exactly, I want to say maybe around 3 mo pp? but I was diagnosed by my OB/GYN @ 4 mo pp when they found a goiter (which was aggravated by taking fenugreek for lactation!). My hairdresser confirmed the bold spots at 5 mo pp and she gave me a special shampoo system for thinning hair. I think it really improve (basically stopped) by 10 mo pp which is when my case was taken over by an endocrinologist (irony is hair loose can also be a side effect of levothyoxine but once my body got used to it and on the right dose it stopped). Luckily the bolding spots were mostly in areas where my hair covered them if I left it down!
