I’ve found since taking preconception tablets my hair has been awfully thin and brittle. I wondered if it was linked or if it was just due to lockdown lol

Oh wonder if it could be that... you would think all the extra vitamins would make our hair better. I have been taking pregnacare for about 2 years.... it’s when I see old photos my hair was so long and healthier looking then when I bleached it than it is left natural now 🤦🏼‍♀️ the joys 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Me too!! I found out im low in vit d and ferritin (iron) which both are hard to increase. So i hope its because of that and not the hormonal rollercoaster 😭

Hello - yes! I’ve had 6 x ivf’s over the last 3 years 😭 all BFN. I noticed my hair started to thin/was falling out a bit after the first ivf and has continued to. I mentioned it to ivf nurse and they felt it was because I’d stopped breastfeeding to start ivf. I however am convinced it’s the prostap or Gonal f. I did read somewhere that the acute hormonal changes during ivf can trigger hair loss. The only thing that has helped is nioxin shampoo/conditioner, I started using that 6months ago and have noted a bit of an improvement.
