How long did your hair fall out?

@@Queenfreak Wow first month! I have a cute hair cut picked out but I'm going to see how bad it gets And use some extensions first. Only because my hair is the longest it's been in 20 years....so naturally it would fall out ;(

Checked my Multivitamin bottle and No Iron or Zinc, the two things known to cause hair loss per the article posted by MrsSugarbabe. A quick trip to Walmart and Iron and Zinc have officially been added to my daily Vitamin regime. Now I'll just pray that Hair growth exceeds Hair loss for the next few months!!!!

But I'm losing my weight VERY slowly. There have been no huge monthly losses from the very beginning. At 7 months I've averaged about 9 pounds a month, with zero lost in October, 7 pounds this past January, and 6 pounds so far this month. Maybe my modest lost makes a difference. Best.

While iron deficiency can absolutely contribute to Hair loss, it's not something you just want to take blindly. Too much iron is a bad thing. You might want to check with your doctor before adding more.

Yes I did I lost about 55-60 lbs In about 3-4 months

Definitely check with your doc first, but if it's not already in any of the Vitamins you're taking it's definitely worth it to look into it. My Multivitamin (GNC's Women's Ultra Mega One A Day) already has 100% iron 200% zinc and 100% Biotin. I take it twice daily because that's that my dietitian wants me to do. So I won't be taking EXTRA iron unless my numbers come back low.

I don't know why this quoted you twice. I can't seem to delete one quote without messing up the formatting of the other.

At what point do you KNOW that if you haven't lost hair, you never will?
