20 weeks pregnant and my hair is falling out. 4 weeks with no ivf meds. (Steroids, blood thinners, progesterone)

[Hopedream]

why is my hair falling out when every app and google is telling me my hair should be the best it’s ever been! It’s coming out in handfuls everyday day I have had this before after failed ivf round… I’m not concerned about the hair loss I’m concerned that my body is trying to tell me something? I’m lacking in something or I need to go bk on steroids? Does anyone have any information on this? My Midwife isn’t bothered she said they can’t do anything t to find out why this is happening

Thank you in advance ❤️

hello. I am just a little bit ahead of you 22 weeks tomorrow.

Shiny glossy thick hair … my arse 😂 I’ve to clean out the shower plug after every shower and my Hoover looks like it’s done a round with chewbacca! mine is definitely coming out more but scans are good all levels are fine xxx it’s maybe just our bad luck xxx

Hiya☺️All my levels are fine too. I'm 24ws tomorrow and my hair has never been so thin!! I've just put it down to the long term side effects of the progesterone (we did 3 transfers back to back so it was very hard going with the hormones) and hope that at some point my body will regulate itself again.

To top it off I've never had such a bad complexion either in my life 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 not just my face but my chest and back too..

I think it just is what it is and just so happy and grateful 👶🏼 is growing and healthy 🥰🤗💖 x x x

I am 34 weeks almost and my hair isn't falling out - but post pregnancy last time it was falling out for 1 year!

Not so helpful! But seems like hair takes on a life of it's own in pregnancy!

Same here! It’s not handfuls but the ‘shedding’ is definitely more than usual and my hair is dry and dull. I had the same in my first pregnancy and then it improved during maternity leave so don’t worry. I definitely do not ‘bloom’ during pregnancy like everyone seems to indicate I should 😂
