Hair loss is one of the symptoms of a thyroid problem. Have you had your thyroid levels tested recently?

I have the same problem. Tons of hair in the shower, all over the bathroom floor. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 but the hairloss didn't really start until I was about 23. They have checked my thyroid 9 ways til Sunday and it is always normal. I've been taking prenatal vitamins while TTC and my hairloss seems to be a little better!

I have the same problem. I did every test under the sun and I have been told it was "stress" and I thought that it was but recently I have found out that it's a symptom of PCOS.
