My hair is thinning after taking clomid, anyone else?

I started clomid in December with 5 doses. I took 2 doses



in January but noticed my hair was thinning and decided not



to continue. I saw my GP and had my thyroid and hormones



checked which came back normal. She told me because



of the clomid it made my estrogen spike and then suddenly



drop causing my hair to be affected. She said I wont lose all



my hair however it may take up to 2 months for it to stop.



I have decided not to continue the clomid but am wearing



an estrogen patch to help keep my estrogen up some



which still concerns me that even this will make my hair



fall out more. I lost my hair 8 years ago during chemotherapy



and feel devastated that I have to deal with this now when



I am trying to so hard to conceive. I wish I knew how much



hair I will lose. I have cut off 4 inches already and it is drying



up. I am also taking lots of vitamins hoping it will make a



difference. My infertility doctor was surprised this happened.



Has this happened to anyone else?
