MedHelp Member's Question

Curious.....anyone else??

by Narelle76, Jul 23, 2008 12:14AM

I've noticed that since I've begun fertility meds such as Clomid, Femara, Gonal F, etc.... my hair has been falling out. Not large chunks of hair, but strands - enough that I've noticed and so has my hair dresser. It's not breakage, it comes from the root. I don't have bald spots and according to my hair dresser it's not alarming to her, but it is to me. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, are you doing anything to correct it?

I have read somewhere that PCOs`s may cause hairfall,,,Please take precautions while we dont know when we get BFP! Just use some herbal oils,,it may even due to the stress u undergo while on medication, no actually treatment,,,,
Good luck,,,,,,,

I haven't experienced it from neither Clomid nor Femara. I have not taken Gonal F, though. You aren't on any thyroid meds by chance are you? I know they can cause hair loss.
