birth control

Stopped taking the pill about 2 weeks ago. I've been on it for a number of years. I seem to be shedding hair like crazy, much moreso than usual. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Hmmm.. it has been 3 years since I went off and I honestly can't remember. However, I have had 2 kids in that time and in both instances my hair really thickened up during pregnancy and then fell out like crazy after birth. (this is pretty normal with pregnancy i believe). Anyway...similar type hormone changes at work?

Year late response, I know, but just throwing my experience out there for other future readers.

I went off the pill for a bit. The only thing that really happened was I was really nauseous for a bit. The nausea started about a month after going off of it and lasted on and off for a few weeks. It got pretty bad, although I never threw up or anything. Just a word of warning!

Also, I MAY have lost 2-3 pounds but that may have been coincidence.
