Hello everyone,
I'm 54, and post-menopausal. Since coming off the pill (Microgynon) and going through the menopause (last period in August 2012), I've been experiencing increasing hair loss. I used to have very thick hair, and have lost a great deal of volume, my parting (which never showed) is very clear, and the hair at my temples, particularly, is thinning - there are patches on one side with no hair at all. I've tried to live with it, but it isn't easy, and I wondered whether HRT would help? I know there are androgenic forms of HRT which cause hair loss, so I'd want to avoid them, but I don't know what they are - could anyone tell me? Also, has anyone found that using HRT has helped slow/improve hair loss and, if so, which kind?
Many thanks,
Freya
