I am 54 and perimenopausal. I was having a very hard time sleeping at night, night sweats and a weird tingling feeling that would cover my whole body. My doctor prescribed the nuvaring. She said she used it too for her symptoms. I thought it was incredible. I started sleeping through the night and no more tingling. My mood was great. I just felt better but a couple of months later I was a wreck. Moody, depressed, spotting and my hair was falling out and I mean it was all over the shower, the floor, my brush. Visited my doctor and she said I got a bad ring! What's with that? Well she gave me a new one I felt much but my hair is still falling out. I took the ring out and it's been a month and it's a bit better but not good. Luckily I have very thick hair but it's gotten so much thinner and the texture is different. Hope this stops soon or I'll be bald soon.

I was wondering if you've seen a difference in hair loss since stopping NR?
I've been on NR for almost 5 years and my hair is totally falling out...
I'd soooo appreciate your response! thanks
