I've been on the pill now for about 3 1/2 years.I've never really felt any side affects from it but lately I feel bloated, water retention, my hair is falling out and it's becoming noticable to me and I'm constantly irritable. In my temple area is were the hair is thinning. Could I possibly be having side affects now? I'll be turning 35 in april and I feel all these weird things happening to me I dont know what it is...

I think it's very possible to have side effects at any time with any given pill. Your hormones change constantly. I would call your doctor and talk to her/him about it.
My hair thinned in my temple area after the birth of each child. I was told that is a symptom of hormones out of balance. I believe it's true, because once they leveled out, my hair grew back.

I also had this problem, but not due to the pill. My hormones were out of whack after having my son, and after some testing, we learned that I had a thyroid issue. First hyper, then hypo. your symptoms sound a lot like what I was experiencing with hyper-thyroid.
But like the other posted said, your hormones change all the time, and you may need a different pill now. I've been on the pill for 14 yrs (except for TTC and while pregnant last year) and I've been through 3 different types of pill.

I 've been on the same pill all this time. Since I was like 17 I began I took breaks here and there in between 2 pregnancies but once it was safe went right back on. I want to get off of it so bad but am afraid of becoming pregnant. My Dr.'s appt isnt until may. I hate having all these hormones in my body. Thanks
