Can you experience postpartum hair loss after a miscarriage?

Is it possible to experience postpartum hair loss after having a miscarriage? When I had my son my hair started falling out soooo bad. Literal globs of hair every time I brushed it, washed it, etc. my son is almost 2 now and my hair finally stopped falling out and has been very healthy and thick again for a few months. I got pregnant again and unfortunately had a miscarriage a few months ago and my hair has been falling out terribly again, like the exact same as it was after I had my son. Could having a miscarriage effect your hair falling out the same way as having a baby can? I’ve been wanting to start trying again for another baby but my cycle is still out of wack since having the miscarriage so maybe it could be that idk. Idk what else would be causing it I’ve not changed anything in my hair routine.

I’m not sure if the exact cause but yes I lost a bunch of hair after my miscarriage. It only lasted about a month and half for me.

Stress can cause hair loss so maybe the stress of the miscarriage mixed with the hormones caused it? Telogen effluvium is what it's called when you have hair loss after a stressful event. Sorry for your loss :(
