Hello Rekha,
Thank you for sharing clear images of your Tata 1mg test reports. Looking closely at your lab values, the exact root causes behind your 5-month hair fall and irregular periods are clearly visible:
1. Critical Vitamin D Deficiency (7.8 ng/mL):
Your Vitamin D is severely depleted (normal is 30–100 ng/mL). Vitamin D is essential for activating hair follicle stem cells. At 7.8, massive telogen hair shedding is very common.
2. Depleted Iron Stores (Ferritin 19.7 ng/mL):
Even though 19.7 is marked within the broad lab range, optimal follicular anchoring and hair regrowth strictly require Serum Ferritin above 50–70 ng/mL. Your hair roots are currently undernourished.
3. Hormonal Imbalance (LH:FSH ratio disruption):
Your LH (7.04) is significantly higher than your FSH (4.3), and Testosterone is on the higher side (41.4 ng/dL). This elevated LH:FSH ratio explains your irregular cycles and increases follicle sensitivity to thinning.
4. Vitamin B12 is Below Normal (208 pg/mL):
This further compromises cellular oxygen delivery to hair roots.
What needs to be done:
• You do not need random cosmetic oils; you need a medically supervised corrective plan: a therapeutic Vitamin D3 loading course (60k IU weekly), gentle iron/B12 restoration, and cycle-balancing nutritional therapy.
• Include 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds daily and spearmint tea to help balance the LH/androgen spike naturally.
Please connect in a consultation so we can prescribe the exact medical dosage protocol for Vitamin D, Ferritin, and hormonal cycle correction safely.

Your report shows low ferritin and low vitamin D, and your B12 is just below the normal range. These are well known contributors to hair fall, even when your haemoglobin itself looks fine. Your thyroid levels are normal, but hair fall alongside irregular periods is worth checking from a hormonal angle too.
Next Steps
Correcting ferritin, vitamin D and B12 usually needs supplementation guided by your doctor, not a fixed over-the-counter dose. Please see a gynaecologist for a hormone panel and pelvic ultrasound to understand why your cycles are irregular.
Health Tips
Avoid starting high-dose supplements on your own, since the right dose depends on how low your stores actually are.
