Hair loss after MMC

[sierramist03]

I had a blighted ovum and had a D&C at 8 weeks on Oct 24th. The doctor said everything looked good at my post surgery check up two weeks ago. I've noticed the last week or so I'm losing hair like crazy. Is there anything I can do or is this "normal"? I'm still taking my prenatal vitamins too.

First of all ((hugs)), I am so sorry you are going through this.

My hair did fall out after my D&C with my mm/c. It was from low iron. Have you ever had problems with your iron levels before? When I started on a stronger dose of iron my hair stopped falling out as much.

Obviously it could also be from something else entirely. Maybe ask your doctor.

So sorry about your loss.

It happened to me too. I started losing a lot of hair after my mmc and D&C, it only lasted a couple weeks though. I wouldn't worry, I read that it is normal.

Sorry about your loss.

I had a mm/c with a D& C in March and my hair fell out for a couple weeks as well. I was told it was from the changing hormones.

After we lost our daughter, my hair fell out like crazy. It's totally normal and is from the hormones, like rockinrobyn said. Knowing it's normal doesn't take away the fact that it's a shitty reminder of what you suffered though. ((hugs))

Thanks everyone. I wish my husband understood how hard this is as well as you guys do. It's only been a couple weeks so hopefully it stops soon.
I have had trouble with iron before so I have some tablets on hand already.
