Extreme hairloss and hair thinning

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

My hair has started to fall out a lot and my hair seems thinner than usual. I've been on birth control for about three years now. I started a new brand about 3 months ago. Would it be bad to stop birth control now to see if that's the problem?
