Will the shot make me lose my hair?

One out of every 40 or 50 shot users experience some hair loss. Usually this is more like seeing extra hair on the brush or shower drain (kind of like after giving birth and progesterone levels are similarly levels). Usually that doesn’t mean going bald or have noticeably thinner hair on the shot.

Still not working?

If you are losing your hair with the shot, you can switch to a method like the pill, patch, or ring. Or skip hormones altogether and use the non-hormonal IUD,condoms, internal condoms, diaphragm, or spermicide.
