I have been on the pill for approx. 5 years, but only about 2 years ago, I started to lose my hair...very noticeably in the front where I wear my bangs. It looks pretty crappy. Has anyone else had the same thing happen? If so, how did you handle it? T.Y.!!

I have been on this for about 5 mos. I didn't even think that this could be why I am losing my hair, but I notice it in the same place. I have been losing it a lot. I just assumed it was from too much stress.

This may or may not be a side effect of the ortho try-cyclen. Do you have any other symptoms that would make you think it is caused by the pill? Have you had your thyroid levels checked? I have low thyroid and when it gets low, I start losing hair!!! Other thyroid symptoms include fatigue, temperature sensitivity, weight gain, etc.
Get to a doctor to see what is causing the hair loss. Good Luck!

Yes. I lose about 3 handfuls a day. I've taken for about 7 yrs., I never thought that could be why though.
