I take women's ultra mega and biotin. I also dring 128oz of water a day (I have a 64oz monster mug & drink two of them). I am under stress. I am in school and have six children that is something I can't change right now. My husbands ex-wife won't come and get her kids.

If you're taking biotin, you might need the other B-vitamins (B-complex). When you take a lot of one b, you deplete some of the others. Also, if you're under a lot of stress, that depletes B vitamins as well. Women are usually lacking in iron also, and unless you cook with cast iron cookware, your iron is probably low because it's so hard for the body to absorb, especially women because of that time of the month thing. Some of the women mentioned experiencing shedding because of the change in weather---from cold to warm, so that could be it also. One last thing, if you're taking birth control pills, they tend to create shedding woes as well, so does a barely functioning and a hyper thyroid. Boy, it's probably stessing you out just reading this list
It's stressing me out just writing it
. It's also normal to shed about 30-50 hairs a day, I think that's the number; it could be more, so maybe this is "normal" shedding. My point is, it could be a number of things, and if any of the above applies to you, maybe you'll be able to find the cause of your problem, or you could wait it out, and it'll probably stop, but whatever you do, try to eliminate as much stress as you can in your life (no, don't drop the kids off at a homeless shelter
). I wish you luck, and hopefully, this will stop soon. By the way, I take my hat off to you---6 kids--I'm surprised you have any hair at all
Good luck, and tell us how it goes.
