"i am almost 18 and i started taking this two months and a week ago. the first month was terrible. i had a period that lasted over two weeks (quite heavy), and the second month was almost as bad. the worst thing that is happening to me is that i am having hair loss. my once long thick hair is becoming thin and i can see my scalp in lots of places. i&#039;ve read it is normal for the first 3-4 months, but i have also read that in some cases it didn&#039;t go away and going off the pill can worsen it. i have no idea what to do."
