Hi ladies, I have been on Bio-identical oral progesterone 200mg daily for about 6 weeks now. I have just recently in the last 2 weeks noticed my hair is coming out by the hand fulls. I am going to see my bio-doc tomorrow and will tell her about this but do you think I need some estrogen added into the mix or could it be my thyroid? This is just so scary but after I wash my hair and comb it out the hair just pulls out like nothing on the ends. OMG I don't want to go bald!! Any advice. Should I stop all the hormones or will that make it worse? Has anyone else experienced this while on Progesterone and if so what did you do to help it. I am so upset thinking about losing my hair. Thanks for any advice.

Dear 'bixa525
Sorry about this.It could very well be your Thyroid which I think you must get checked out
I have no experience with Bios-as not available here-but have been on HRT for many years and have quite a good head of hair .I think too that stress and anxiety may also be the culprits.

Here is wishing you well
We will still love you even if bald!No just kidding.Hopefully all will be well.
Please keep us Posted

Best Wishes

I did two rounds of Prometrium and my hair started falling out rapidly. (also had alot of other symptoms too). I was doing fine with just the estradiol prior to the P being added. But, you might want to have your thyroid checked too. My own opinion is that by adding (or subtracting) one med (or supplement) at a time makes it somewhat easier to identify the culprit causing the problems. Good luck with the doc. JZZ

My hair fell out until I went on Estradiol with the Vivelle Dot. It stopped falling out within 2 weeks of starting the patch and obtaining estrogen blood levels of 151.
