Can decreased estrogen = hair loss??

[alexsmom]

A little off topic but I know there's been a lot of discussion regarding estrogen lately so I thought it wouldn't hurt. Anyway, I recently went off BP pills and had an IUD put in (wonderful by the way) but also noticed that my hair seems to be falling out like crazy!!! I know shedding is normal, but when I'm at the sink getting ready for work and look down....it's everywhere!! Could this be from discontinuing the pill...thus less estrogen? (I'm hoping MS could help me out with this)

THanks!!

Yes.

Any hormonal swing can.

How many of you lose hair when you go on, or come off, AS?

Does it then get back to normal....or am I going to lose more and more until I have go on Rogaine?

It should return to normal within a few months.
