Severe Hair Loss - Woman

I am 40 year old and live in Dublin, California. My hair loss started when I was about 20 year old. Prior to that my hairs were very beautiful, they were not too thick but I still had 2 long thick pleats. They slowly started falling off and now it has come to the point that it causes me depression. I have 2 kids, and after the 2nd one it has become really worse. I hardly have any hairs left on my head. They are everywhere else in home except my head. I did notice a full head of luscious hairs during both my pregnancies.


I have answered questions which I found on another thread related to hair loss. I will be very grateful if someone can help me with my hair loss problems. I've tried so many things and nothing has worked.

I also have my hormone test results. I can send them if needed. It does show that I've low Estrogen and Progesterone.
