amy606 to whitney (Cyproterone Acetate (Diane35))

Don't feel bad about going on and off the pill, I did it too. Let's see how many times? I began on orthocyclen, constant yeast problems, so switched to loestrin, BIG mistake, the shed started and has never really stopped. Went off that, and on yasmin, which for a month or 2 seemed to have lots of regrowth, then the shed came back. Went off yasmin entirely, waited a good year and took no BCP at all, but the shed never stopped and no new growth. I got talked into getting back on the pill, desogen this time. My body did tolerate that better than the others, but still no regrowth or slowdown in shed. B/C pills are not the magic fix to hair loss, unfortunately. I wish they were, that would make it so easy. I think they were the cause of it, all my hair and health problems started when I began the loestrin. It's a highly androgenic pill (Ha! There was a time I didn't know the meaning of the word) I think loestrin triggered AGA and its been 5 yrs now, and I still haven't found a way to fix this mess. On the bright side, I don't know why I am not completely bald by now, after 5 yrs of shedding like I have. I probably have only 1/2 the hair I used to, thank goodness I started with very thick hair. But I am also terrified of being really bald in 10 yrs. I am only 25, since I started losing it at 20, I have a big head start on most women, who start to shed during menopause. Its so scary.
