    Hair & bleeding
    Hi!
    I just had my son three months ago, I just started college and working, I also have another daughter, in the last month, my hair is just falling out, you can just see piles of it anywhere I sit. I have to carry a lint brush around to keep it off my clothes, I was wondering what could be causing this?? Some say stress but I have the normal everyday stress... I also have another question I had the implant in my arm done after I had my son, and I bleed SMALL clots once a month is this normal? I am worried about everything. Just wondering what you would think do I need to get to a doctor?

    Hey, sweetie, sorry I missed this but I've been very busy. The hair falling out is most likely due to a hormonal fluctuation after having your son. The clotting is a side effect of the implant.

    Stress can play a role in this too, but the biggest factor is hormone fluctuation.

    It can be different for every woman, but this kind of hormone fluctuation should be over by now. You may need to see your doctor about this, sweetie.

    For the time being, if you are not on ANY medication at all, aside from the implants, you can try taking Melatonin at bedtime. It may help.
