Hi,
October 14, 2011 - 5:42pmIt is difficult to say if your hair will grow back or not. It is dependent upon the severity of thyroid imbalance. A product such as Rogaine can stimulate hair growth and slow balding. However, most new hair is lost within months after the drug is stopped.

You can speak to your endocrinologist about using progesterone cream. It can help balance your thyroid levels and regrow new hair. Progesterone is a hormone that helps with hair loss. Here is a link where you can take a look about thyroid and hair loss. http://www.womhoo.com/progesteronehelpshairthinningandhairloss.aspx.
If you have any questions I'm glad to help.
