I'm 16 and stopped using Yasmin (for menstrual cramps, I'm a virgin) three months ago. I have noticed thinning on the top of my scalp since then. I went to a dermatologist and he said that the hair loss should stop after a few months. I was just wondering if anyone else has had (or is having) the same problem. Did you hair really grow back? Or did it just stop falling out? Hair loss (particularly female hair loss) runs in my family...So I'm very worried.

I've never had this happen. But I wouldn't worry about it. Just wait and see what happens. However I think no matter what anybody says on here about something like that, you're not really going to feel very comforted. I think you should call up that dermatologist and ask him/her these questions, and how you feel, mention that hair loss is common for women in your family. See what they have to say. If you still don't feel the best, then get a second opinion. But I wouldn't worry, I'm sure everything is going to turn out fine for you. And remember if things do go wrong, it's whats on the inside that matters, and if you're beautiful on the inside...that'll shine through, and you'll be beautiful on the outside to. Take care! And I hope all works out well for you.

Talk to your gynecologist about it. You should get tests on your testosterone, it might be a reason. The pill really screwed up your hormones and it will take a while to get everything back in order. The stupid bull that the pill is harmless is totally wrong... I got serious problems after stopping them, too. Sorry for scaring you... But it is not only the dermatologist that you have to talk with, check with your gynecologist as well
