Ok, let me first start by saying that I'm a 21 year old female and I've been on birth control pills for about 5 years. When I was a child and through my teens, I had very thick hair. I was put on BC pills when I was 16 because I had terrible cramps and my period wasn't regular. My gyno put me on Ortho-Novum 7/7/7. I took this for about 3 years, and then my cramps started coming back badly and so my gyno (a different doc than I usually saw) put me on Levora. I took this for a little over a year until my next doctors appointment. My gyno that I usually see could not understand why the other doc put me on Levora because apparently its a high dose pill and she thought at my age it was unnecessary. It was during the time I was on Levora that I started noticing that I was losing more hair than normal. Clumps and clumps everytime I washed my hair, brushed my hair, dried my hair, even just walking around hair would fall out an cover the front and back of whatever shirt I had on. I told my gyno about this on that visit and she took me off Levora and put me on the patch.....after a month on the patch I couldn't take the side effects anymore, called my gyno, and she put me on Mircette, a low-dose pill. I have been on that for a few months and feel great. BUT, I'm still having MAJOR hair loss! I don't know what to do anymore! There isn't hair loss in my family and the last time I dyed my hair was over a year ago so I can't still be dealing with side effects from that. I'm so confused. I want my hair back! What should I do???

PS - After going off Levora, I did a search on the web and apparently that and 2 other BC pills have been linked to major hair loss. I've been off Levora for 4 months now....could I still be having effects from it or is it out of my system???
