Spiro didn't help my hair loss, and going off BCP's caused my Testosterone levels to go up (increasing ALL of my PCOS symptoms).
I now take Flutamide. My Endocrinolgists says that it works on the DHT that attacks hair follicles. It works for me. Are you keeping track of your Testosterone levels?

Once I went off the bcp, it was over. Nothing will stop my hairloss, even going back on bcp didnt help.

the thing is that my hair never fell out before bcps. i jsut want to know if its because of the yaz and if it will stop. and i want to make sure the spiro isnt causing it. | |

I'm not sure, but you may want to take something with spiro, as it causes birth defects and messes up AF for many women.

Hot flashes are due to lack of estrogen from quitting BCP and so is the shed.It will eventually stop if you're lucky. | |
