Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) occurs in up to 1% of patients receiving unfractionated heparin. HIT may occur even when very-low-dose heparin (eg, used in flushes to keep IV or arterial lines open) is used. The mechanism is usually immunologic.
The hair loss can seem more extreme if your hair grew much more than normal during pregnancy, or if you have long hair. Most women will return to their usual hair growth cycle within six months, or between 6 and 12 months after birth.
Two to three weeks after the chemo therapy ends, a soft fuzz will develop, but one month later; real hair starts to grow at its normal rate. After two months, you should have about an inch of hair growth. Basically, the hair that fell out first is the hair that grows back faster.
