Going off the pill (or nuva ring since it has hormones) can definitely make your hair fall out. Pregnant women usually have great hair because it doesn't shed as much during pregnancy. Then once the baby is born, all the hair that should have shed out for 9 months comes out at once, in clumps. Hormone contraceptives "trick" your body into thinking that you're pregnant. So that could be the reason why you're shedding. Your body now "thinks" you just had a baby.
Also, you should check your thyroid gland. Being on the pill and then going off the pill triggered hypothyroidism for me. It's a really simple blood test to check your thyroid function. A slow thyroid (which is what I have) will cause a LOT of hair shedding, dry skin, slow metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold all the time. If it is in fact your thyroid, it can be treated very easily and you'll feel better again within a few weeks.
Hope that helps and good luck to you.

I am younger than you and i lose hairs like that always. Your hair is made from lifeless cells, and the fall out routinely. Simply because some fall out every day doesn't mean you're going bald. So, i might say what you are going through is perfectly usual.

it could very well be a hormonal problem. or it may be caused by stress. i could tell by ur question u were stressed out. first check with ur dr. on both problems to rule out anything more serious. you will need to have a blood test done first before anyone else could answer ur question. with it we would both be gussing. i do know that louising ur hair, will bring on more stress. god bless
