Strangest thing...since I had my baby 6 weeks ago I have not grown any hair under my arm pits. Usually I have to shave every other day. My hair on my legs is growing but not under my pits. In addition, I don't have hardly any milk. I'm pumping every 2 hours, I'm taking Fenugreek and my LO latches on just fine. I'm wondering if the lack of air pit hair has anything to do with my thyroid. Does anybody know? Are the two (lack of milk production and lack of arm pit hair growth) connected? Anybody else experiencing this?

good question! I don't know the answer. But I also had significant milk supply issues, and I had to quit bf, and I am having my thyroid checked in one week. I will be curious to see if it is normal. I haven't noticed less pit hair, but my hair on my head is all falling out! (Normal, I know - hormones!) Speaking of hormones, when my mom hit menopause, she pretty much stopped growing pit hair too. weird!

MNMON. What do they do to check your throid. Do you know? And thanks for responding!

they draw blood and can check that way. I think you have to fast for several hours before hand.
