Hello, My name is Maria and I am 29 and I have been losing my hair off and on again since I was about 16. I noticed I first started losing my hair when I was about 16. It started it a bit of a itchy scalp and then that went away but my hair kept getting thinner. I noticed when I started taking birth control that my hair started to grow back not as thick as it was when I first started losing but it did start to grow back. Also I was having migraines and when I started my birth control they went to where I hardly ever had one. I have gone to a dermatologist and he did some scalp biopsies and said that it was just female patter baldness. But if that was the case my hair would not grow back while on birth control. I was wondering what test other people might have had and suggest that I get. I have had my thyroid tested and it was normal. But I do have low iron. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. But I have lost my insurance and am having to pay for my future test out of my own pocket and am looking for some advice on which ones I should get done. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Maria
