Hair Loss While On The Pill

[imported_SANAII]

I Just Recently Started Taking Estrostep And About A Week And A Half Into The Package My Hair Started Falling Out When I Brushed It And I Bled Everyday On The Pill, Has This Happened To Anyone Before I Have Never Been On Birth Control Before And I Am Afraid To Continue To Take Them.

Birth control has a serious effect on your hormones and your hormones in turn control your hair growth and period. I took Depo Provera birth control injection for 5 years and nearly went bald before I figured out it was the Depo. So I am sure it is possible. I would tell your doctor and ask to try a different type of pill or something because the bleeding part is normal with BC, but the hair loss probably will just continue.
