HRT and hair loss

I used Femhrt for about 3 months and noticed extreme hair loss. Is this common. It is listed as a side effect on the package. Will this hair come back that I have lost. I stopped the medication over 3 months ago. Losing my mind over this.

It could be a side effect, however if your hair does not grow back, you could do a complete hormone workup including TSH, PRL, Testosterone, DHEAS, to get to the cause of the hair loss. Your gynecologist could be consulted or a reproductive endocrinologist. I wish you the best.
