Hello everyone!
I've recently been losing hair for around 6 weeks and I am trying to pinpoint the major reason why.


I've started taking birth control (Microgestin Fe) around May to regulate my period and for the last couple of weeks I've been losing a lot of hair and my scalp has been really itchy and flaky. I was already in the process of recovering from hair loss as a result of anorexia, and it was growing nicely for a year until I lost all that progress within the last couple of weeks. But I am not sure if birth control is the cause of my hair loss. I was also really busy and stressed out for the last couple of months from work and I upped my intensity in my workouts to cope with the stress. However, I don't see any changes in weight or anything despite my eating and exercising habits.

I also read online that aspartame can cause hair loss but I've only occasionally drank diet Snapple/carbonated sparkling water for the last two months.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
