I just started Apri 1 week ago and am wondering if that was a mistake. I am having alot of problems already with this pill- headaches, a period that is going over 2 weeks now, hungry all the time, dizziness, and now my hair- which had slowed down to normal shedding the past few months, has started up again much worse. I thought I would try and see if it helped lower my T levels and would HELP my hair probs and help regrow what Ive lost, but maybe I just cannot tolerate the pill any longer. Can I stop in the after 1 week without much of a problem? I hate to continue and damage things worse if this is going to make things worse. Seems eveything I try that is supposed to help just ends up making all my pcos stuff much worse. I was actually happy with the amount of hair I was losing for a few months now...but now its getting bad again. Maybe I cannot tolerate the progestins. Anyone have any thoughts? Id really appreciate some feedback.

I had the same problem when i was on the pill and my gyno told me that it will mess up my body more if I just stop using it.. she switched me to ortho evra..the patch and was a lot better..I would talk to your gyno about it and tell her about your symptoms..she will probably be glad to switch you.
