    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    So sorry to hear you're so down. I'm sure this won't make you feel better but I think your hair looks great. I see where you indicate thinning, though mine is quite a bit worse.. I don't think it's something someone would notice though. I would be blown away if your kid or your kids friends...

    Oh and yes - my roommate is still having an issue as well. But we have moved. So now I'm thinking it's just Androgenetic Alopecia at the same time (though we are quite young, in our twenties)

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Sjw, So strange that you and your daughters are all experiencing this. Do doctors find that strange? Let me know how the Endo goes! Yes it's been about a year for me now with hair loss. What's strange is how sudden my onset was. I got blood work done a few weeks back again - and it's just...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Maybe your daughters aren't really losing hair then and you've just become more aware of people's hairlines? I got the consult and I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get the extensions - although that won't help my thinning part... But maybe it'll help me to not stress out so much...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Hi - thanks for checking in. No good updates to share. Hair is just continuing to get worse and I'm going to make an effort to get a consult at a hair salon specializing in extensions for people with thinning hair. Feel like it's my only option at this point. I've been on yaz for 3 months now -...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Results were pretty useless and frustrating. It just showed androgenic hair loss and shrinking of my hair follicles. I went back on my poisonous yaz birth control, and am hoping this solves the issue. I have my doubts about it all since, I'm not sure I've mentioned this previously - but my...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Thanks for the post. Unfortunately my shedding has been back really bad - and my brief period of improvement stopped. I've lost 50 percent hair density in just 6 -7 months. I've been to a handful of doctors, and even got a scalp biopsy last week. This hair specialist I saw says that by me going...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    You 100 percent need to give it more than a month. My hair has been drastically shedding for over 4 months and it's just starting to slow down and show slight signs of regrowth. I would ask your derm if there are any shampoos that would help (e.g. Shampoo to help inflammation, or shampoo to help...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    That's so crazy this has been going on for 14 months, have you seen a hair specialist yet? That was my next step if my shedding didn't start to slow - but this is a really expensive option and they don't take insurance. What I would reccomend, and what I found that helped me, is allow yourself...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Hi there, Sorry for the delay. I've been waiting to write again until I had positive news to share. I am sorry you're going through this - believe me when I say I get it. I'm 24 and my confidence and self esteem has really suffered from this. Hope you're doing better. I had the Skyla IUD -...

    Shedding Not Stopping After Change Of Birth Control

    Hi all - thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Hopefully someone is able to relate to my story. Please let me know if you have any advice. Around September 2016, I went in for my yearly gyno appointment hoping to refill my prescription of yaz birth control that I had been on for...
