Not a doctor but know that depo( progesterone) can cause hair loss.Mine doesn't come out in clumps but definitely sheds every time I wash hair and brush,more than before Depo jabs.Luckily I have thick hair,so you wouldnt notice.Underactive thyroid( very linked with endo) causes hair loss or even autoimmune disease or stress.Definitely see Gp and have some bloods done.Sending you bestwishes.

What drugs are you on? All the GnRH drugs have hair loss as a side effect. I lost a good 3rd of my hair on zoladex. But after coming off the drug it grew back with a vengeance and now i have the opposite issue of too much hair growth. My eyebrows particularly are in super over drive.

If you are not on any meds or not recently been on any meds tht could cause this, then it could be stress related alopecia. Speak to your GP who can check your thyroid levels and hormone levels incase there is anything there that might be causing it.

My hairloss was not clumps it was general thinning out of head hair - strewn all over the house and everywhere else !!! and I lost all my pubic hair, under arm hair etc. But that did grow back.

Hi ive just found this post desperately looking for someone else having this side effect. My hair has thinned all over but with patches. I am devastated. My gynae said it def wasnt zoladex related. Ibelieve they are so wrong. I am scared. How are you doing now

I bet it's hormonal when your pregnant you have a good head of hair when youve given birth it all v comes falling out. I think it's to do with hormones. Synthetic or natural the way they fluctuate either way hormones have a lot to answer for xx
