Hair Loss In Really Early Pregnancy

Ok so I decided to let it go the rest of the month...sex when we want and no more opks. I am not currently on dpo4-5 and with both of my boys the earliest symptom I could remember is being in the shower and washing my hair and just clump (well a lot of it to for me to notice) and it did it every time I ran my hand through my hair wet or dry. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem in early pregnancy too?

As far as I know I don't have pcos and the only time my hair falls out is when I am pregnant. I know that it would definitely be too early at dpo 5 but I guess because my cycles are so screwy that I could be further along than that and I refuse to take a test anymore. I am probably just screwed up but as far as my temps it was going good until this morning :( I definitely do not feel like I am going to start my af (Not bloated or anything) so maybe I will just have to go with the Provera to start me period. I tried a few of the home remedies to start af and no luck so I am totally confused!

Postpartum is after you have your baby... well both of my boys were that way I have long hair now but I get up out of bed in the am and there is hair on my pillow! LOL! I know my red blood cells are low but i dont really think that it has anything to do with it. I am on dpo 5 today and had a dip in temps so only time will tell...

I would love to go to the fs and have them tell me that they can only see me as an ob patient! That is such a dream!

Well stranger things can happen! LOL! Maybe you're an exception to the rule, which isn't a bad thing. Each of us reacts to the hormones in pregnancy so differently.

I was reading that on another site but for some reason it never happens to me if unless I am pregnant and my nails are softer too *(which I know they are supposed to go crazy) Another question for the fs doc

I lose hair because of my PCOS, not because of pregnancy. I haven't ever heard of that being a symptom. Most women, because of the hormonal changes, get thicker hair and the shedding comes after they give birth.
