   the pill and hair loss- whats is good for hair growth? (Birth Control board)

19th April 2007
hi, i never had a problem with the pill for about 6 years, switched to yaz and lost a ton of hair. after that i stopped taking the pill for a couple of weeks and then was put on micerette (?) - generic is kariva. i am noticing thinning of my hair and my hair line specifically.

my dermatologist ran blood tests to rule out any 'disease' type things and they all came back normal. i am therefore thinking this is related to the BCPs.

[COLOR="Teal"]does anyone have an idea what BCPs are best for growing hair - or atleast not losing it? what makes some pills better? should i stay to pills with low androgen levels, or do those help?

i'm confused and my dr's don't seem to believe it's BCP related, but it's the only thing different. and they just want to keep switching my pill to shut me up - or so it seems

:mad:

Thank you for any advice, personal stories, etc!!
