is your hair thinning now? i'm not sure the mechanism for purported (not to discount your skepticism, just that i've not seen evidencee of it myself so don't want to scare others) hair loss on the drug. my guess from looking into male hair loss is that it woudl be pretty easy to avoid, as estrogens have a pretty strong protective effect on scalp follicles; of course if you're thinning anyway, it reduces number of targets to attack. things i used that woudl help for women are green tea extract which i add to shampoo (add a bit of acid too to stabilize it, i use some lemon juice) and tea tree oil which i add to my conditioner. i assume also you've talked to your endo about what level you are targeting for hormones?
