smt28...about 1 month after I stopped Yasmin, I started losing a ton of hair. I would lose stray hairs all day (probably about 200 a day). I have been off of Yasmin for 3 months now and the hair loss has gotten MUCH WORSE! I have seen several doctors about this. Some say it's because of stress and a few (a derm, GYN and endo) say that hiar loss is common after stopping bcp. They said it usually starts about 2 months after stopping the pill and is at its worse at about the 3-4 month mark. They also said that the hair loss could last for about 6 months, but will take 1 year to start regrowing. Basically they said it's because of the hormonal change and the loss of estrogens after stopping the pill. Let me tell you, it's pretty scary. I have already loss about 1/3 of my hair. In addition to the hair loss, I am also experiencing increased acne, weight gain, excessive hair growth on my face and NO PERIOD! How long have you been off?
