Postpartum hair loss with Hashimoto’s
Hi fellow, Hashimoto’s Mom’s,
I’m 8 months postpartum with my first child. I unfortunately had the rare complication with Hashimoto’s and developed postpartum thyroiditis. As of last week, my thyroid levels are officially normal, and my doctor told me that I am officially done with postpartum thyroiditis - thank god (it is HORRIBLE and I don’t wish it on anyone)!
All of that information to say that I did not ever experience hair loss postpartum, and it feels like that is happening right now because maybe now that my thyroid is normal, all of my hormones are now starting to be normal?
Have any of you Mom’s experienced late / delayed postpartum hair loss? I can’t think of anything else that could be causing this. My iron levels are steadily normalizing and I am on a supplement anyway.
Appreciate any insight!
