i found a section about hairloss and the nuvaring, and i am going bald...literally. Anyone know how i can find more info on it? I have saved the amount of hair ive lost in a week and it fills up a quart sized bag. IN A WEEK. I am desperate.

Especially eHealthy

Talk to your doctor about switching to a different b/c, and see a dermatologist about the hair loss. Smile

Ive tried 6 different ones...
Levlite (horrible acne and 40 pounds of weight gain)
Orthotriciclen (i got pregnant and miscarried...lovely)
Estrostep (I puked my guts out)
Seasonale (Had my period for two months)

Nuvaring seemed to be "better" but not exactly great, the hairloss and fatigue dont help..i quit taking it a month ago
I was on the patch for awhile, but the horrible news about it, i got off.
