My Hair

My hair is falling out. Not a couple here and there in the shower but a handful each time I brush it. Not normal for me. I could not figure this out so I asked the Doctor.
The Doctor reminded me that during pregnancy most women have a wonderful shiny head of hair (gee doc, thanks for rubbing it in!), but as soon as they deliver they lose large amounts of hair for the next three months.
What happens is during pregnancy your hair goes into a "Resting" phase - more so than normal (since we all lose a few hairs each day). About 1/4 of your hair is resting while you are pregnant - as soon as you deliver all the resting hair falls out and new hair grows. BUT.....if you're taking that pesky "pregnancy" hormone HCG (the injectible one) then your body thinks you're pregnant throwing your hair into that resting phase, but then, if you're not pregnant and start your period two weeks later like I have been doing then your body releases all the resting hair! Let's do this process for a year like I have and no wonder my hair is falling out by the handfuls. Voila! The answer to my shedding.
So, I will either get pregnant and be done with this whole injectible hormone thing OR I will go bald in the process. Fantastic. Mike says he'll still love me, even bald.
