A member asked:
Would my birth control contribute to my hair loss?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Birth control pills have been rarely blamed for hair loss, but there are much more common causes for alopecia: stress, low thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism), and heredity, for example.

Any hormonal change: Any change in your hormone status could contribute to your hair loss but this is not typically a direct effect of the bcp.
