Hair Loss from the pill?
| Sun, 11-21-2004 - 10:39pm |
Ive noticed my hair has gotten extremely thin over the past year of using the pill. I know that the pill can cause hair loss as one of its side effects. My question is- If I stop using the pill will my hair grow back? I would love some info regarding this!!

My understanding is that your hair would grow back, but there's not a whole lot of information out there on this. Hair loss is a relatively rare side effect, but it does happen sometimes. You may find that a different pill might not have this same effect on you, or you could bail out altogether and see what happens. We've seen this happen more often on this board (so it's not a scientific study!) with Yasmin and Ortho Tri Cyclen.
You might talk to a doctor or a dermatologist to find out if there are other sugggestions or ideas.
Good luck!
