Will hair come back after lowering testosterone levels?

Elizabeth1953
I am a 64yr female and I started losing hair from the crown of my head dramatically in the last 2 months. I was told it is amiably due to high testosterone levels of 230 in my system due to hormone pellets I've been on for over 8 yrs and finally my body has had enough. They started me on SPIRO 50mg daily, which makes me very tired but willing to work through it if my hair will come back. By lowering my testosterone levels, will my hair be restored to normal?
