Same problem--different curcumstances. My hair is very thick, or at least it use to be. I am loosing hair by the handfulls every time I wash it. Thinking it might be the different birthcontrol pills I am taking, I called my dr. I was told that after pregnancy it is normal for you to loose a lot of hair since your body held onto it during pregnancy. I have a hard time believing that I could loose this much. I have had a rapid weight loss of 30 pounds in 4 months(not including the baby weight I lost right away), a large hormonal shift plus different bc pills, and I am still taking prenatals while I am breastfeeding. With all of this going on with my body I have no way of knowing what is causing it. The dr. did say that if it is not coming out in clumps or there are no sores on my head that it is probably natural and could last for up to a year(by then I will be bald!).
