Autually I just got a vitamin d test.Results were very bad low.Also I have some Anemia which I forgot both those can cause it too.Yes I believe hubby don't listen sometimes but I have thought that and my hubby will say something and I will be like well he was listening.

But u know men actually don't notice. Mine is same. But it's how we feel ourselves. A trichologist diagnosed me with Androgenetic Alopecia but that was just looking no magnifying lamp or biobsy. Routine bloods don't do ferriten levels which I have learned to be super important for hair growth. U have to practically beg for a vit D test. So that's why I am goin to see an endo. Doctors don't pay any need to hairloss as it's seen as purely a cosmetic problem. I want answers before I resort to the world of wigs.

Well I am perimenopause myself. Am 47 but my hair loss was so gradual over the last I would say 7 years that I didn't actually notice it until bout 2 years ago. I am on a progesterone only pill for endo. Waiting on an app with an endocrinologist to see if he can shed light on it. Thankfully my endo is good and has been for few years.
But this hair issue is really getting me down to the point of obsession.
