dread shed with bcp? (Birth Control Pills & Hair Loss)

posted by Chris, 14.07.2008, 17:07

I would have to say that I never experienced hl prior to peri. I had been on bcp for several years in my twenties and early thirties. No problem during or when I stopped. Even though I grew tons of hair while pregnant, I never noticed a postpartum shed. In fact, I seemed to hang onto all of that hair. I couldn't believe how much hair I had and was thrilled because I never had that much hair. I'm not sure if hl coincided with peri or not but it has been off and on for the last 5-6 years.
On day 15 of my cycle my estradiol was 50 pg/ml. That's the only time it's been tested. The lab results read as follows:

Postmenopausal: less than 88
Non-pregnant - Mid Follicular: 24-114
Periovulatory: 62-534
Mid-Luteal: 80-273

I don't know which category I fall into, if it's mid follicular, periovulatory, etc.? I did read somewhere that anything under 100 may signal peri. All that my gyno said was that everything is "normal" and I'm not in menopause. Well, I know that! Delilah, I'd appreciate any thoughts on all of this!!!
