This site is a wonderful find. I have been suffering in silence. My hair loss began more than 10 years ago at the age of 37. I was able to slow it down and live reasonably normal by using Ortho Novum 777 (I believe that a switch to Alesse started the whole thing). I am no longer on BC since I am now nearly 49. I have been off for about 5 years. I have had mild sheding but not horrific. I have recently begun HRT using the Combi Patch for really bad menopause/perimenopause symptoms. I feel much better(no hot flashes, and sleeping through the night, even a little libido back) but my hair has started to shed again. I don't have much hair to begin with since the huge amount I lost in my thirties. I am also on levoxyl .50MCG daily. My doctor does not think the shedding is due to the patch. My mom is nearly bald. I feel strongly that my hairloss is genetic and probably DHT related. Before beginning HRT my estradiol was less than 1.0; progesterone <10.0; and testosterone 29.1 - I had to go to a wholistic practitioner to get these levels since my obgyn won't do them. It is expensive and not covered by insurance. Can anyone out there help me? I can't afford to go back to wholistic doctor.

Jen disregard the spam but from your tests your Estrogen is very low and your testosterone is a bit high. I would definitely change from the Combi patch and go on Vivelle and Prometrium. Is that low estrogen level while on the patch bc if so you need a higher dose.

No -the tests were before the patch and before hair loss started so severe.
Have you had any experience with bio identical hormones?
