Possible hair thinning..Shoud I have my thryoid rechecked?

[FlyingJaye]

Hi, I was just wondering if it is normal to notice some thinning of hair above the temple area. Like upper hairline on both sides and going inward about a little bit. Can that be normal or maybe not. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I woke up one morning and noticed it and cant stop thinking about it now. Thank you for any input!

Also I have been tired a little more lately than I have been and I'm still on the same kinda of sleep pattern. I still have the occasional constipation(hard to go), I have bad memory lately and I find it hard to talk a lot of the time. I'll have to stop and start over a few times lol.
Also im not sure if its related or not.. but lately my hands feel kinda stiffer than usual. That may be due to my job as a cashier though. These all come and go regularly.

Do you think I should go and have my thyroid levels rechecked? I had hypothyroidism with pregnancy which went away after wards. I was last checked the end of April and my levels were fine.

Also I was wondering what the chance of getting hypothyroidism in future pregnancies is..

Sorry its so long..

I'll post a pic of my hairline.. Does it look normal? I think it looks thinner to me..

Hi. It's difficult to say whether you have hair thinning based on those photos because I don't know how your hairline looked like during the previous years.

I wrote a blog entry in response to some of your questions. Please refer to this link: http://www.drjoshua.com/2009/07/05/hair-thinning-and-hormone-levels/

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for your response!

I think I will be sure to ask our doctor next Friday when I take my son for his 6 month check up.


Just as a followup of the hairline this is how it looks now almost a month later:
