Thanks for all these snippets of info ladies. It's so interesting that, as with most things to do with darned meno, effects each one of so differently e.g. hair thinning on oestrogen only, some with progesterone etc etc.
I called the doctor as I want to discount underactve thyroid as possible cause (see earlier comment) and he was very kind - agreed to run a blood test for it and said he would also add a couple of others for things that can cause hair thinning. Booked for next Thursday. (As long as it hasn't all fallen out by then
If thyroid is ok I guess I'll have to stop hrt. I didn't get on with utrogesran and I really don't want to take a tablet only hrt e.g. Femostan(?) - I use a patch for at the moment for oestrogen.
Annie the hair piece sounds great. I have fine hair but have lots of hair (well did!) and things slide out easily but I might give these a try.
