hi, i suffer from really bad hair loss and have found the only thing that stops it is dianette (diane in the usa) ive tried every treatment going, including yasmin, which made me depressed and fat, and dianette is at the moment the only option for me. Its worth a try. It takes about 2 weeks to kick in before shedding stops good luck louise
