I've been on Ortho Evra,the birth control patch for about a year.Recently,I noticed a bald spot in the front of my hairline.I've heard there are connections of balding and birth control.I have no family history of balding or hair loss.I'm pretty sure it has to do with my birth control.Are there any vitamins I can take to fill in whatever the patch is taking out from me.I'm afraid to have more bald spots show up.Any suugestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi there,


I've read that women who have a genetic predisposition to thinning hair might experience this while on the pill, so you're right that it could be related.
