Hair loss
Hello. I’ve had my mirena in for about 5 years now. Over the summer this year I noticed a bald spot forming on the top of my head, about an inch back from my hair line smack in the middle. It grew over time. My gyno and dermatologist said it probably was from stress (it’s been a crap year) but my hair is also falling out much more rapidly than before. The women in my family all have thick full hair, even in their later years. I get steroid shots to the bald spot every 6 weeks and am on nutrafol. It’s definitely growing back but it seems like my hair is still falling out all over my head. I like not having a period and not getting pregnant and all but I would like to not be bald at 27. 😂🤷♀️🤦♀️ anyway, pics to show progress over the course of 6 months. Bottom is months ago, the top pics are recent. Anyone have similar reactions being this far into having it inserted?
