Hair thinning really fast - my thyroid - ok my iron is 68.72ug/dl is that low? pleads help

Need ferritin level: You need to know the amount of iron you have stored, not the amount in your bloodstream. The proper test is serum ferritin level. If that is less than 100, you'll need iron supplementation, which more often than not will stimulate at least some hair regrowth.

How do I stop my eyebrow hair loss? It was caused by using retinol cream which I stopped immediately after. Only my eyebrows have been falling for four months now. Is this telogen effluvium? Am I deficient in any vitamins? Any thyroid or iron issues?
