I posted on here a few weeks ago complaining about my excessive hair loss to the point of seeing through my hair. I went to my obgyn after reading this forum. He said he is not surprised....that anything containing progestin causes hair loss. Also any traumatic experience....to expect hair loss to start from 3-6 months post trauma....I had a baby, a mirena, marital separation, and 2 d&c, along with a bad delivery and severe blood loss, ALL in a matter of 4 weeks. So, it could be all or one....either way he was not scoffing at my claim of the mirena being the culprit of the hair loss. We agreed to give it a few weeks and see if the loss slowed, if not I will return to have it removed......I also put on a quick 10+ ponds which I am not happy about, but my appetite is raging. I am still breastfeeding too, so I don't know which one is the cause. I also lost hair and gained weight last baby....so who knows. I will keep everyone posted. Staci from SC

I don't know how true this is or what the time frame is but my hair dresser told me that if hair loss continues for too long you may not get it to regrow. I haven't experience hair loss with the IUD, but did have a lot of hair loss after my father died suddenly. I do believe there is to the hair loss and trauma link. I was very surprised when I started losing hair and got even more upset and angry with myself because I thought I was handling things better--my hair told a different story, one I couldn't hide from others or myself even. Anyway, just wanted to share that little bit. Hope it gets worked out. Take care. CRay
