I have been off of this birth control for about 4 months. A couple of weeks ago I noticed my hair on the top/front of my head begin to thin. Recently it has become very thin.

I have become extremely depressed over my thinning hair. I am afraid it will continue to get worse until I am entirely bald!

I was on the Nuvaring for 1.5 years with excellent results: confidence in my birth control, no change in appetite, lighter, more comfortable periods. You would not be able to find a better champion for the drug than me during this time. Then I took a year off when I went through a break up, since i didn't need birth control anymore. After a year, I again became sexually active with a new partner and we had an excellent two months of great sex (albeit with less spontanaeity, due to the lack... View full comment
