Default Birth Control Pills help hair?

Hello ladies,
I am having a severe problem with scalp hair thinning. I was diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia and pcos (lucky me). I wondered if any of you ladies had any success with taking birth control pills to control scalp hair loss and body hair?

Default Yasmin

From what I understand, some BCPs help and others make the situation worse. I'm on Yasmin and am noticing great results. My facial hair is still there, but I notice it's growing back slower. But my nipple hair (sorry for the details) is flaxen whereas it used to be thick and dark and wiry! Oh My! Unfortunately, my insurance only covers five dollars worth, so I'm paying about thirty-five a month, but it's worth it if it helps your symptoms. Ask your gyno about it. Oh but, some of the side effects are so severe most women would rather deal with the symptoms! I know that in my first month, Yasmin was my worse enemy, now it's becoming my best friend!

Yasmin helping with the hair, my main focus is now weight management which I have been ignoring sadly... But will get on the ball here and soon will have a success story under Tuscar's thread!! We can conquer this ladies. We can win! Our bodies want to, they just don't know how yet! HW190/CW175/GW130
