Yasmin and Hairloss

I posted this in another category, but I made get better results here:

Hello,

I've started yasmin about 2 months ago for acne. And it is doing wonders for my skin. However, I'm starting to notice that my hair is becoming weak and increasing hair shed. I already have thin hair, so even more hair shed is a bit alarming.  I'm hoping it is a temporary stage, since my body is getting used to the hormones.

I had my bloodlevels/thyroid checked out and everything is fine. My iron is a bit low, and I'm starting to take iron supplements.  Has anyone else experienced intial or continual hairloss with Yasmin? If so, what did you do and how did you cope with it?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Many women have experienced hair loss, mild or more drastic, from birth control, but Yaz is supposed to be the better of the BCP. I'm sorry for not having more information, I just wanted to drop in and tell you that yes, many women do experience hair loss from bcp and once they stop taking them, it takes about 6 months for the bcp for your system to return to normal and see new growth.
