I took Ortho Tri Cyclen for 2 years, I started to have hair loss and got off the pill. Hair got extremely worse. My hairdresser also let me know (which lead to me balling my eyes out in my car). Nevertheless, after several months that seemed like years, it got better. I think your hair will go thru changes whether on the pill or not. You just need to ride it out-don't switch pills or go on and off pills. I have very thin hair-I know the pain. Just remember that for now while you are washing or brushing your hair, try to zone out and throw the excess wad of lost hair away. Don't count, don't look, just throw it away. It'll get better.
