Hair loss after stopping the pill

Hello,

I'm 23 and I stopped taking the pill (Rigevidon) in August. The past few weeks I have noticed a crazy amount of hair coming out when I shower and when I brush it in the morning. It's coming out evenly all over my head and luckily I have a lot of hair to start with, but it's beginning to look and feel thin and I'm very worried it will all come out! Has anyone else had this issue after stopping birth control pills? I was on them for about four years. Sad

I suspect it will be down to hormonal changes, just like post-pregnancy hair loss. Hopefully you will start noticing some new growth soon.

@sophie94 did your haor ever recover? I'm currently experiencing lots of haor loss after coming off the pill. I've seen a few posts about this but never any updates to say what ahppened after a longer period of time!
