    I lost heaps of hair and even started balding from the front of my hair line after all 3 of my children, it eased after a few months when my hormones settled...which is very normal apparently but everyone forgot to tell me this so i freaked out lol! but what i did find usefull was taking fish oil..and my friend is also finding fish oil is helping so worth a shot for sure, good luck.

    To all members who are describing heavy hair loss. If you have other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, racing heart, tiredness, feeling agitated, hand tremors (to name a few) PLEASE mention all these symptoms to your doctor and ask if it could be a thyroid problem.

    Hair loss was one of my symptoms before I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. Apparently (according to my doctor) 1 in 9 women have an undiagnosed thyroid problem... usually it's under active but sometimes it's overactive which can be potentially life threatening if left untreated. I am now on medication which has stabilised the condition. I don't wish to scare you all, but it's something to consider.
