All scary stuff to me. I took the pill for period pains when I was younger (it didn't work anyway - still had the agony) and stopped taking it when half the hair on the top of my head mysteriously disappeared and little thread veins started appearing in my thighs! AAARRRHH! Shortly after that, my little pill was taken off the market for danger of thrombosis. Fortunately those little veins disappeared quickly and never returned, but sadly, neither did my hair.
My GP advised me NEVER to take the pill, HRT or any hormone treatment EVER again, unless I wanted to risk losing the rest of my hair (lucky to have had thick hair to begin with or I'd have been quite baldy!) Can't prove it was the pill, because the hair loss did coincide with mega-stress, weight gain and IBS getting a hold on me, so who knows what the answer is? (not me!)
Anyhoo, if I were you, I'd persuade my other half to get the snip - MUCH better! lol
