I am 26 and have been on the pill for the last 7 years. I started noticing some hair loss on the top/back of my head last year, so I decided to go off the pill, incase that was the cause. 3 months later, all my hair started fallling out, and I have now have large balding areas in the front of my head. I went to the doc and got dianosed with PCOS. (High LH levels, low testosterone levels, and cysts on my ovaries, abnormal periods, hair on face). My question, can you have excessive hair loss like this if you have low/normal testosterone? Do you have other high androgen levels other that testosterone when your LH levels are out of whack, and most importantly, what are the chances my hairloss can be stopped/reversed with the metformin treatment she put me on. How many of you have had thier hairloss stopped/reversed on metformin? At this rate, I will be bald and in a wig by the time I am 27. Please HElP, my doctor is not giving me any of the answers I need about my hairloss. There is a chance my hairloss is due to going off the pill, but like i said, my hairloss started before I went off, and that is why I went off.

Oh, thank you so much for the reply!!! I can't tell you what it means to me. I have hope now! I just started the metformin treatment, so we will see. I hope I will be lucky too. Anyone else out there have these results? Is it more typical to have permanent hairloss, or more typical to have hair grow back with metformin treatment?
