BC and hair loss?
| Sat, 06-19-2004 - 4:35pm |
i have been taking ortho tri cyclen for about 8 or 9 months and i have noticed that my hair has become much thinner....is this normal? i just recently switched to alesse after the nausea from the OTC pill never subsided....any info on alesse or the thinning hair thing? thank you!

Hair loss can be a side effect of hormonal contraceptives. We have had an occasional post here about that but not very many. The weekends on the board are pretty slow so while you are waiting for a reply you can search the archives by typing hair loss in the search box at the top of the screen. You might also want to ask your question on the iVillage hair loss board at http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhhloss
Good luck
