If I give in to my appetite my weight increases in spite of jogging 28 miles a week.

I have been taking Lybrel for just over a year. I noticed my eyebrows thinning and initially thought it was due to a bad wax job. However, they have continued to thin dramatically. I then noticed my scalp hair thinning. I asked my GYN and my primary care doc and neither thought it was related to the Lybrel. My GYN said that, while taking the Lybrel, my hormones were the most stable they'd ever been, and referred me to a dermatologist. I then looked at the package insert only to find tha...
