My OB-GYN insisted that I take birth control pills to help with the symptons - Loestrin. I stopped taking the medication 3 months ago and since then have noticed significant hair loss among other things.

Could you please provide me with more details - such as why? and what symptons seemed to worsen for you? Thanks so much!
