Will my hair grow back after stopping birth control pill?
I have been on the pill for 2 years... symptoms I had were pretty bad anxiety and gained about 15 pounds over the 2 years. I decided to get off it in the beginning of August due to those reasons and to switch to an IUD. I never ended up getting the IUD. It has been about 3 1/2 months since I have been off the pill and for the last 2 months I’ve been shedding hair more than normal. In the past couple of weeks it seems to be getting worse especially when I go to brush my hair after a shower. My scalp “hurts” and I’m noticing a lot of breakage around my part line. I don’t have thick hair but I have a lot of hair. I made a doctors appt to get my blood work done but I have started taking a nail, hair & skin vitamin, maca, collagen supplement, etc. I changed my shampoo and conditioner and have even been doing tea rinses in hopes something will work. Haven’t seen any difference but I’ve also only been doing this for a few weeks. I have been doing a lot of research and this seems to be quite common for women getting off birth control but I am only 18 years old and feel quite defeated. I have been crying and stressing a lot over this and am just wondering if anyone has had success with anything/ hair growth? btw I was on sprintec
