Will my hair loss from Mirena stop - or will I go bald? Will I be able to grow back my hair?

MadAtMirena
Should I take the estrogen patch to counter act the effects of Mirena?I had Mirena in for 40 days - after the 3rd week in my hair began falling out in clumps (i am losing around 300-500, yes i counted) It has been out for 3 weeks and I am still experiencing major hair loss. Mirena releases progesterone , when I complained about the hair loss my gyno prescribed a estrogen patch. I am not 100% confident with another synthetic hormone being introduced to my body since the last one (Mirena) was devastating!
