Hair loss in woman 30 yrs old, stopped taking the pill, is this why?

by worriedhelpme, Jul 16, 2008 09:47PM
I am a 30 year old woman who has been experiencing rapid hair loss.  My hair is thinning more and more everyday.  I was on the pill for 12 years and stopped taking it 8 months ago.  I have had hair loss (more then average) for about 5 of those months and steadily increasing.  I had a one time dose of a blood thinner in November which is why I stopped taking the pill (blood clotting).
I do not smoke, am athletic, and 130 pounds at 5'8.  I take a multi-vitamin every now and then and eat fairly healthy.  Any ideas? I have dry scalp but also eczema which is probably related.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!
