What treatment can I have for hair loss during pregnancy?

CarolinefahFeb 2, 2016
I usually use minoxidil for hair loss and after that I have no problem for a year or two. I am now 3 months pregnant and I am afraid if I can't have any treatment for at least 6 months it might not grow back. I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the end of my first trimester but my last blood tests are showing it is getting better. Thanks in advance, Caroline
