Ok I am freaking out. I take birth control pills for hormone replacement therapy because my body cannot produce any hormone on its own.
Anyway 3-4 months after being on this, i’ve noticed a long line of hair growing from my ribs to the top of my belly button. Is this normal? I thought only guys got hair on their bellies!
It’s not noticable but to me it is! I can see it in the sunlight and it’s black.
What’s going on and should I call my doc?
I’m 23 by the way.
Hey everybody, i’m going to be 16 in about 1 week but the problem is that i have NO breast at all. I’m not sure why…I already started my period when i was 13 and i got pubic hair around 10 and i started to get taller and got wide hips when i was around 13. I just don’t have any breast at all and DON’T tell me that small breast a beautiful, because they arn’t small, i don’t even have any, seriously… Even A cup is WAY to big. It’s also not because i’m too skinny or anything because i am actually chubby, like 10 pounds over weight! Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Also, when i’m 17 if they still didn’t grow i’m thinking about getting implants, but if i don’t have any, is it still possible to get implants?
THANKS FOR THE HELP!
P.S. I take Yasmin birth control with has a lot of estrogen in it….
I had the implanion birth control implant put in at the end of November of this year. Since having it put in my hair has been coming out in chunks and I have been bleeding for almost three weeks now. Is this normal? I am also very fatigued and dizzy.
I take levothyroxine, 50mcg, once a day. I have taken it since 2009 (around August) and the hair loss started about 3 months ago (around June or July). It is coming out rapidly, filling up my brush almost daily and it just keeps coming. My thyroid levels are good. I also have Hashimoto’s but my antibody levels are doing okay.
I thought it might be a side effect of the drug, but everything says that would have started around when I started taking the drug and would be temporary. I now have an almost bald spot above my temple, and who knows where else there might be more.
I have tried to take good care of my hair, I take vitamins, I use good conditioner, I only use a wide tooth comb to brush it almost all of the time, I rarely straighten it, I only dye it about 2x a year max if at all, I don’t over wash it, I don’t use hair ties often and when I do I don’t pull my hair tight or use ones with metal pieces. My stylist told me everything I needed to do to help it be healthy and grow longer (preventing breakage) and I have been doing that for over 2 years. My hair was very healthy, and now, even though it still seems healthy, it is falling out at a frightening pace.
I am 24 years old, female, and under no more stress than I have been my whole life. I have no insurance and can’t see a doctor about it at the moment (money is tight, but has been for years, so nothing new for stress there). I don’t have kids.
The only major change in my life is I started on a slightly higher dose birth control (I was on the lowest does available and having breakthrough bleeding, but I’m still on a low dose pill) about 3 months ago. This is the only correlating event and I was told this couldn’t be the cause.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I started losing my hair. Any help? And please don’t just suggest I see a doctor, I can’t afford it. I need some kind of direction. Thanks.
Oh, and my iron levels are great.
She has been loosing hair for a couple weeks now. We were wanting to find out if her birth control device was causing this, or perhaps her diet. She had the Mirana contraceptive implanted a little over a month ago; i think this is the culprit. Any information or advice is appreciated.
My Dr. recently diagnosed my hair thinning as loss of hormones following endometrial ablation. I have just started taking Necon 1/50 (birth control pills containing 1 mg of norenthidrone and 50 mcg of mestranol). I was curious as to approximately what the time line is for when I will stop seeing so much hair falling out.
I have regrowth. I also started using women’s Rogaine and
taking hair, skin and nail vitamins for about 2 weeks now.
The hair loss has been going on for approximately 2 months. I am 40 years old.
I had a baby 4 months ago, and I currently got an IUD (mirena, birth control). I dont understand why im loosing so much hair when I shower, and throughout the day.
I am also taking iron for anemia
