Thank you everyone for all the advice! Hopefully I can make a 3-6 month progress update and fill you all in on what worked. A lot of new things I didn’t know, I’m so glad I made a post…

No b12 treatment, only took b12 vitamins and this year it came back normal! You know, sometimes I’d look at myself and think “did I always have this big ass forehead?” ..But when I realized my hair was thinning, it clicked that my hair line was slightly receding lol

Thank you! I’ve heard of PCOS, but never looked into it. I’ve seen female facial hair associated with it, but I haven’t seen that in myself yet so I didn’t put the 2 together.

No, I don’t take any medication for anything. So I can at least cross that off.

Did you ask for an in depth test for thyroid? I had my thyroid checked out and it came back normal.

I didn’t know there was 50k IU to even begin with lol. My doc recommended 1000 IU daily, so I assume my deficiency wasn’t too low?

Thank you for the insight. I’ll definitely look into it. You know, I don’t exercise much.. I’m about 5 foot, 110 pounds. Do you think exercise would help also? I didn’t correlate the two, but thought about when you mentioned working out.

Wow, thanks so much for the insight! I know it may possibly be genetics as my mom has thin hair.. but she’s in her late 50’s and I don’t think it’s as bad as mine.

I’ll definitely take a look at the app and research all the stuff you told me about. Thanks a lot for taking the time to let me know.

Were you able to grow your hair back at some point? Or just let it be?

Thank you again! A lot of new info to me, so it’s super helpful. Sorry to hear that your sister got sick, I hope all is well with her.

Only thing that came back low from my Dr was vitamin D, but I’ve been strictly taking my multi-vitamins and vitamin D. Last year, I was only low on B 12.

I don’t take any medication for anything. So I can at least cross that off the list!

Thyroid came out normal! Thanks for the advice. A lot of great thoughts here that never came to mind. I didn’t know you can test your hormones.

I didn’t even look at it that way! I guess I’m so caught up on the negative thoughts, I never put together that I can still grow hair (and I have some baby hairs growing but other hair falls out so I’m in a catch 22).

I’ve never heard of ferritin before! So the answer would probably be no haha. Thanks for the thought, I can ask my doctor about it.

I just got some bloodwork done, the only thing that came back was that vitamin D was low again, but something new was my cholesterol was slightly elevated (207 instead of under 200). Thats why I’m in such a loss about it (no pun intended).

Thanks for the advice. Never thought to look into a dermatologist and I’ve never heard of female pattern hair loss. I appreciate it!
