I'm new here, but I'll throw in my 2-cents anyway.

My main forum use is Hair Loss Talk, a slightly different emphasis. But I've gained information over the past few months that may help.

When you see your new gyn, get your estrogen and progesterone checked, and also their ratio. If they are out of balance, all sorts of unhappy things can happen: hair loss, LOW sex drive, PMS, weight gain settling on the waist, migraines, etc.

Part of your problem may be estrogen-dominance. It could have been a factor in your hair loss, L/C simply set it off.

No thoughts on B/C, I'm past that time of life.
