Hi there.
I'm 31 years young and have always had very thick naturally blond hair. I guess I took my hair for granted because I'm in SHOCK :shock: over my hair loss.
About 4 weeks ago I noticed that something seemed different. More scalp, less bangs. Then I noticed it more and more and more. I was hoping it was just my imagination. I kept bugging my husband but he kept saying he couldn't tell any difference.
Finally my sweet MIL came to visit and I asked her (I knew she would be kind and honest. She said, "Yes, your bang area is much thinner." It was actually a relief to have my gut instincts confirmed.
Last week I had my TSH level checked by my internist--the test came back normal.
I've got an appointment with a dermatologist for this monday. I'm apprehensive but I really want to figure out what is going on.
Here are the facts so far:
*Thinning has been sudden
*Located in the bang area
*Left side is a little worse than the right
*Had a baby 10 1/2 months ago (already experienced the postpartum shedding and regrowth--this is new and different)
*Currently breastfeeding so rogaine is out for now
*I'm freaked out, upset, and weirded out :freaked2: .
I really appreciate finding this board and the information I've found here. If I have to travel this road, it helps to find kindred spirits.
All the best
