I've recently stopped taking Diane 35, which I used for about 6 months to manage my acne. Now, I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm really concerned. Could this be a side effect of stopping the medication? How long should I expect this hair loss to continue? It's really worrying me.

I'm a bit concerned because I took a Plan B pill recently, and now I'm having what looks like bleeding, almost like a period, but my actual period isn't supposed to start for another two weeks. Is this normal, or could it just be spotting from the pill?
