Micronor - is it the cause of my problems or just a coincidence?

My doctor gave me micronor mini pill as a contraceptive as I'm combination feeding. Since taking it (2wks ago) I've noticed my milk supply is reduced, my hair has been falling out and is v greasy and I have had a very heavy period. Does anyone know if this is normal? I know hair loss can occur after giving birth but I thought if I was breast feeding I wouldn't get a period. I also thought as it was a mini pill it wouldn't effect milk supply. Is anyone else on micronor? This could all be coincidence but I've not heard of micronor before so all thoughts greatly appreciated.

I've been Breastfeeding for 12 months now. No period yet. My hair did thin out but I was expecting that.

However, I'm convinced too that it reduced my supply. Less of an issue now DS is enjoying solids. But I thought I was going mad. It wasn't just me!
