Hi all. I just went off the ring last month, and now when I shower or brush my hair, I am shedding A LOT of hair--much more than normal.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this before?

I've heard women who are pregnant don't shed their hair until after birth, and I am wondering if because how the BCP works (making your body think it's pregnant), this could also be a s/e of going off BCP?

I have the same problem. I was taking bcp for about 15 years and stopped a couple of months ago. I've also noticed increased hairloss, as well as moodiness, headaches and hot flushes.

I wonder how long it goes on for?

No clue here in terms of how long it goes on for. I haven't been on BCP for almost two months, and my hair is still falling out!

I have experienced the same thing...especially in the shower! I've also been extremely moody and have gotten horrible headaches. I'm actually unsure if I ever want to go back on BCP's due to how bad it sucks getting off of them.

My hair started falling out about 3 months after going off the pill, in August. It's still shedding like crazy, it got oily and my skin is horrible.
