I have been on Loestrin for a few years. Recently, I have noticed that my hair has got SUPER thin and is falling out from the roots. I am going to have my thyroid checked next week, but has anyone else experienced this??

I have my hair is falling out at a crazy rate. I use to be able to pull my hair back in a twisty and it would only twist twice I can twist it three times now and it is still loose.

Yes, the same thing is happening to me. I just turned 27, and have been on Loestrin for almost 2 yrs. Over the last year or so, I've noticed my hair feeling thinner-my ponytail was always thick, and now my full ponytail feels how a pigtail would have felt a few years ago. Over the past few months, I've seen balding patches around my hairline. I'm freaking out. I asked my OB GYN about hair loss and loestrin, and she said she's never heard anything like that before. I want to be on the pill, but I REALLY don't want to be bald.
