Hi Halliebeth,

Have you been checked for PCOS? PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome ~ it causes very similar symptoms along with infertility. PCOS has been proven to run through bloodlines. Males bald very early in life (mid 20's) and the women physically related develop PCOS about the same time in their lives. Two of my SIL devloped PCOS & all 4 BIL's had major youth balding.

Very best wishes to you ~ hope that gets resolved quickly for you
