Why is my hair falling out?

My hair is falling out more than usual for about a week or so, a few at a time. Most comes out when I brush it. I am nursing a 4-month old (I take my vitamins), I started taking 25mg Zoloft, and take thyroid meds. Would any of these cause hair loss/breakage?

Why is my hair falling out?

Your hair is falling out because your not pregnant anymore. When you're pregnant, the hormones keep your hair from falling out. Now that you're not pregnant these hormones are going back to normal and you're losing all of that hair you kept during pregnancy. Thyroid is probably another factor. Talk to your doctor about it.

Why is my hair falling out?

All of those are possible causes. If your thyroid isn't completely leveled out, it can cause hair loss. Some of the meds can, too. It is normal to lose a lot of hair after having a baby, too. That is usually the worst between the 6 week to 3 months after delivery, though.

You should go to your doctor with your concerns. He can make sure your thyroid is regulated properly and offer some solutions. This website can help, too:
