    Letrozole and hairloss

    Ok so looking back at a few pics I my hair hadn't receeded much at all after my last cycle fall 2007. Then I was worried about gyno and ended up taking letrozole for three about three months a high dose for about half of that im guessing maybe more . A total idiot move on my part for a couple other reasons as well.

    Now I realize that my hairline has gone receeded and it's most likely because of the letro. Have any of you guys had significant hairloss from letro or any other non AAS chemicals?

    I should also add that I thought it's supposed to regrow back afterwards but that doesn't seem to be the case, if there is hairline damage or so I think in my case

    Test can convert to both Estrogen or DHT depnding on your levels of Aromatase and 5 Alpha Reductase (5AR).

    You used a very powerful AI (Letrozole) that probably reduced your aromatase levels too drastically.

    How does this afect your hair you ask?

    Well, with that much more free Testosterone NOT converting to Estrogen via Aromatase, you are left with a much greater footprint of Test for 5AR to utilize in conversion to DHT.

    Its all about balance. You need to look at the "WHOLE" cascade of events that you put in to motion with each change.

    Yea man that makes sense. I'ver read it's also really hard on your cholesterol profile. I have some sort of cholesterol genetic defect where my cholesterol is extremely low. The lowest my doctors have ever seen.

    Probably not a good idea to use things that are really hard on it and AAS can cause problems as well. Although I don't think it should be too much of an issue as long as I only do mild cycles.
