Has anyone experienced hair loss due to taking Yaz? I feel like I'm losing a lot more hair than normal these days. (I'm 34). A ton of hair comes out after a shower, but quite a bit during the day as well. HELP!!!!

Hi, I have been taking Yaz for more than an year now and it works great on my skin and weight loss. But yes i am loosing tonnes of hair duing shower and after during the day as well. Not sure if this is related to Yaz. I just started taking Biotin suplements as I heard they help hair loss. We will see.

I am having this problem too. I have been on Yaz for probably 9 months, but the last 3 months or so has been tons of hair and ive lost probably 1/3 of my thickness. I am waiting for thyroid results. but I am confused because one of the things doctors recommend when women are losing hair is to put them on an antiandrogenic or to switch to a BC pill with less androgenic properties. Yaz has an antiandrogenic, meaning that the reason it would cause hair loss has to be some other chemical aspect of it. I really dont know what to do.
