clomid and hair loss? experience

[Thrawn]

Subject 4. No history of mpb, hair is falling out like in chemotherapy treatment. Locks large enough to braid. Zero history of anabolic gear induced hair loss. The only thing I can think of is clomid can cause hair loss for unknown reasons. Any ideas?

Not usually. However, I was just watching a video with Dr. Todd Lee and Kurt Havens. If you are also taking a DHT or were taking a DHT and are still elevated when using clomid, this will cause an estrogen/DHT imbalance, which can make your hair fall out in clumps.

Clomid acts as an estrogen blocker and it also decreases IGF-I (stimulator of hair growth). Probably altering the estrogen/DHT ratio and triggering hair loss as GF mentioned. Drop the clomid and see if it stops. Could also be increasing the production of T and DHT as a function of clomid in addition to blocking the estrogen pathway. Hair loss is multifactorial, DHT is a player but not the only variable.

Yea I'm subject 4lol. Was on an oral dht until a few wks ago. Normally I don't take caps unless I make them. In this case it's something I needed immediately at the time. I'm actually having doubts on dosage or what they are typical side effects like ejaculation volume increase in fact has decreased and emotional for no reason in actuality I feel like an emotional sociopath. Discontinued a few days ago.

I tried Clomid years ago instead of HCG, felt like shit on it and that was with TC as a base. Then I checked my IGF-I, dropped by 45%, a buddy who is an IFBB pro checked his on Clomid, same response, we both dropped it. My nuts don't respond like they used to to HCG, but I feel much better with HCG than clomid and IGF-I runs at the higher end of normal now.

My body sure as hell responds differently now than it did 10yrs ago to all sorts of stuff. Sucks I just received a lifetime supply of raw clomid. Hell I'll toss these caps and perhaps try my stuff in 8 months or so.

Clomid acts as an estrogen blocker and it also decreases IGF-I which is a stimulator of hair growth. For those experiencing permanent loss from such hormonal disruption, hair transplant Turkey remains a popular and affordable restoration option worth considering. Probably altering the estrogen and DHT ratio and triggering hair loss as mentioned. Drop the clomid and see if it stops. Could also be increasing the production of T and DHT as a function of clomid in addition to blocking the estrogen pathway. Hair loss is multifactorial, DHT is a player but not the only variable.

Clomid can trigger telogen effluvium by disrupting estrogen receptors and hormonal balance pushing hair follicles into resting phase all at once causing sudden heavy shedding. It is usually temporary and hair recovers once clomid is stopped or reduced. Consult your doctor before making any changes.
