I just wanted to add a little support to this thread too. I won't add my story since it is almost the same as what Smilingcat wrote.

Letsride, I think even if you think you can turn things around on your own, you shouldn't be afraid to go seek an outside opinion or help. It is really helpful to talk to a doctor, nutritionist, counselor (or all three!). I'm not sure if you're at a college campus, but I found that the nurse practitioners who work with a lot of female students/athletes can be very good at helping you.

In the meantime, you shouldn't ignore those hunger cravings! They aren't the birthcontrol speaking, but your body telling you that it is hungry. Maybe if you tried adding some snacks throughout the day you could add more nutrition and more food. Then you will have more energy and your hair will stop falling out!

I'm glad you aren't afraid to ask other people for help and advice. Keep us updated!
