I ran out for a month and that's when i started losing my hair is when i ran out. i went to my docot and didnt notice it then she gave my some new pills to take but it was doing this before the new pills. Is it my pills or something else?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Hair loss is not a side effect of oral contraceptive pills. Hair loss occurs due to hypothyroidism, anemia, autoimmune diseases, or poor nutrition.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist to get examined and investigated properly so that appropriate treatment can be done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
