Hi all! Hoping for the hivemind here.
I have been on the combined pill for years (Microgynon originally, Yasmin for the last few) and it suits me very well, apart from the hair loss.
To head up a few of the obvious questions: I've tried coming off the pill but the cons vastly vastly outweighed the pros so I'm back on.
I don't really want to try another pill if I can help it because Yasmin works great for me otherwise.
I drink lots of water, exercise regularly and get a balanced diet - admittedly could do with a bit more veg.
I have quite fine, thin hair anyway but when I was off the pill (2 years) the only plus point was that I stopped shedding hair - I could have a shower and only lose 1 hair instead of 10. The shedding re-started when I went back on the pill and has continued for the 2 years since at the rate it did before. So safe to say its hormal so I know there's probably a limit to what can be done but...
Has anyone experienced the same and tried any supplements etc that have worked?
