    nolvadex causing hairloss

    i only took 20 mg nolva for 2 days but it gave me hives so i had to stop, whole body was itching like crazy especially my scalp for 5 days. now 2 weeks later 80% of the hair on my head is growing in really thin and i can see my scalp for the first time ever.

    im hoping this insane amount of hair thinning and shedding is reversible...

    just wondering the guys who have experienced this before how long it took hair to start thickening up again? or go back to how it was for that matter, i had pretty thick hair before.

    I had the same problem I have a crown Baldy spot now and it is very noticable. I did not have the problem before my first cycle. I did not take Nolv though only Clomid and Adex.

    Testosterone is known to convert to DHT which is probably to blame for your hair loss. You should continue to do a full PCT, hair loss is a side effect you should have known about before you went into the cycle and not running a PCT will hurt you more in the long run.

    yeah caberle but i ran 4 weeks of test prop at 70 mgs and had zero hairthinning besides in the front temples that almost everyone has. i didnt start the nolva untill 8 days after stopping prop and at that time the hair on my head was growing in thick.

    within 5 days after the nolva i could see my scalp and hair was growing in really thin, eyelashes and eyebrows are thinning too. i'm 100% sure it was the nolva because the day after taking it my scalp got inflamed and really ichy

    70mgs? Is that a week, for 4 weeks? I wouldn't bother with the PCT if so. Also, have you tried Clomid? Don't take any more of the Nolva, if its UGL it may not be the actual active ingredient in the nolva, it could be how it was made.

    Hair loss/thinning in just 5 days with nova 20mgs thats not possible.
    Perhaps the UGL might have some stuff that is not suitable or u are allergic to. But i believe nolva is not going to cause this problem.

    yah thats 70mg per day of prop.
    seeing how hives and hairloss are both listed as possible side effects on every website about nolvadex . i don't think i'm the only one who its happened too.

    my eyebrows and eyelash are thinning too... test wouldn't do that.
    i tried clomid over a year ago, only side i got from that was blury vision and a few hot flashes.
    I dont have any sexual dysfunction or anything so not to worried i didnt run a pct.

    its not the nolva,, its the test. Just DHT building up from it. In most cases it will come back but might take a year to compeltly stop. At least thats how it goes with me.
