That was exactly what happened to me with the Depo Provera birth control injection. I actually started to get bald patches. I would watch as my hair came out in clumps in the shower. It wasn't right way, mind you, but after a long time of use. My mother actually happened to notice and say "Oh my gosh, you are going bald on the back of your head here." I asked the doctors if that was part of taking Depo. They all said no. Either they really didn't know enough about it, or they didn't want to admit it. Read my post in here about Depo Provera and all the side effects it caused and what I discovered with research.
Anyway, you will be happy to know that my hair grew back in. However, it took many years for it to grow in and I still have one thin area. I didn't see any new hair growth for a couple of years. I am so thankful it grew back though! I refuse to take birth control ever again!
