After doing a lot of research and examining my head closely. My hair loss looks exactly like Telogen Effluvium. Sudden diffuse hair loss due to stress. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this type of hair loss happening to someone from cycling? I am going to my doc in the next week, so I will have more infor then hopefully. I am starting to question if my extreme hair loss is from the test or just from severe stress, or maybe a combo. This sucks.

My hair loss looks like this;
Telogen Effluvium


So I lost a lot of hair after this past cycle. This was my 3rd cycle, previous 2 had been test only. This one was test/anavar with aromasin throughout and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) throughout. I have no history of MPB in my family. In fact, all of both my mom and dads side have all their hair. Grandpas, uncles, etc. I never noticed any hairloss during my previous two cycles. During post cycle therapy (pct) of my last cycle I noticed I was shedding and I looked at the back of my head with a mirror and bam, balding for sure and my normally super thick hair is now rreally thin.

also, I was extremely stressed out toward the end of my last cycle due to unforeseeable circumstances and i think this may have had something to do with the amount of hair I lost.

Anyway, I have researched a lot on options and still no idea what my best option is? I got Nizoral shampoo and its seems to have stiopped or slowed the shedding. Just wondering what else I should do? Go to the doc for propecia? Rogaine?

I am aware that my hair is prob gone for good but I just wanted to hear any thoughts from ya'll.

Thanks

Yeah I've read once fully recovered from a cycle and post cycle therapy (pct) it can come back. Baldness on both side if my family so I just rock the shaved head look anyways.
 
Yeah just run with a shaved head for a few months and before you know it your hair will be back, don't worry. You might even learn to like the bald look. The only people who care about being bald are the people that lose their hair. No one is gonna look at you and care. It's all in your head bud.
 
I hope I don't loose my hair but I just shave it all the way down anyways so I guess it wouldn't be a big deal. I know I look pretty good with a shaved head. :afro:
 
hope it was just stress bro, then u will get your hair back... but if it wasn't, once it's gone, it's gone... no problem, just keep it super short, number one on the clippers once a week, convenient, that's the way I roll haha
 
Welcome to the Club man...the hair club!


My worst fear is loosing my hair before I have the money to buy a Corvette, like most mid-lifers do if they have the money..I am well on my way with the thin spot at the crown of my head..

Vette or a Harley best present for a balding man IMHO....
 
get some rogaine and finastride...you dont need a doc for either but you could get your finastride cheaper through a doc...walmart for rogaine.

I use DNC
 
Thanks for the replies. I am glad to hear that there is a possibility it will grow back if it was due to the stress which I think it was. So now I am confused on what to do. If I start using rogaine and Finasteride, if hair grows back, i will not know if it is from the rogaine/fina or because it is growing back naturally because it was caused by stress.

Thanks Cobra. I ordered the DNC. Hope it works.

Ive been taking it now for a couple months....I didnt have hair loss when I started I just wanted to make sure I dont get it...I also use the shampoo and conditioner and the spray....All I can say is that I am def not losing hair but I do think it has gotten thicker, which im not complaining about :blue:

Nice. I wish I had this advice before I started cycling. Everyone always said that if you don't have a genetic predisposition to MPB, then you don't need to worry about losing your hair on cycle. I believed this to be true when I didn't have issues with my first two cycles, but now I know that this is bullshit. Everyone should know that you can lose your hair even if nobody in your family has MPB. This site has been such a great source of info for me over the years. Hopefully my misfortune will help others who also think they have nothing to worry about with regards to hair loss on cycle.

It is true....you can lose your hair with or without the mpb gene in your family

It (rogain) will stop the hair loss but only a small percentage regrow hair.. I have had allot of people swear they regrew hair after using rogain for 3-4 wks.. I am not sure if this is "wishful" thinking on their part but it does help..

Shit is expensive though.. but hey who can put a price on "handsome"??

Hope your scan goes goo BTW BULLSEYE!!!
