It's possible that the hair loss is caused by the weight loss... even when weight loss is needed/good, I'd imagine it dreates enough of a strain.shock to your body that you might lose hair. That might mean it's possible that when you stop losing weight, you will stop losing hair...

I say it's POSSIBLE becasue I am also losing hair right now but I am not losing weight. I am hoping this stops once my body is used to not being on the BCP... but I don't know. I feel like I need to pick between being suicidal and bald... and the people I live with lose out either way. (there are long blonde hairs all over everything in our house... they're beginning to complain... blah!)

i hope your hair loss stops soon... i must admit i am rapidly losing my faith in modern medicine though.
