I went through Talogen Effluvium after I had my baby. Then 4 months later I started shedding again. It’s been going on for 10 months now. It falls out, grows in and then falls again. The hairs have a white bulb on the end and there isn’t any concentration of what one particular area. I decided to check my blood work which I had done at the onset and my ferritin was 30.
