For some people, Yes, but in general not noticeably. The lo will reduce hair less b/c less hormones.

My wife had been on ortho novum back in the late 1970's never had any hair loss.

i've been on birth control for 3 years and haven't had any hair loss of any kind. but birth control effects different people different ways, so i guess it's how your body reacts to the hormones in the pill.

Certain types do. In the UK there is a BC pill called Dianette that is supposed to reduce body hair. You should speak to your doctor, they'll be able to give you better advice.

I've never heard that and I've been on birth control for over 8 years... I wish it was though, I wouldn't have to wax my eyebrows or other places!
