Hair Loss/Thinning From Dosage Change
Looking for insight on my situation. I've recently switched from 4mg Estradiol / 100mg Spiro to 6mg /50mg. Previous levels were ~150 / 10 and they're now ~150 / 40. Since the switch happened around 6 months ago, any time I shower, I've noticed many strands of hair caught in my hand when shampooing (20-50 per night). I have been using the same shampoo since the start. I've also noticed my hair is half as thick and probably have a few strands falling throughout the day. Before this change, I've seen maybe one or two strands fall in the shower once a week or so. From what I can tell, the hair isn't pulling back from my hairline, but my temples seem much more exposed while at the same time baby hairs are growing sparsely where they weren't before. It does look like I'm balding there and I can feel the gaps, with itchiness in my temples on occasion.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but the timing of this change leads me to think it's related to dosing because hair loss doesn't really run in the family. Am open to suggestions because I'm unable to see a doctor about this at the moment since they're rare in my area. For more context, I've been on HRT for around a year and a half now.
