sean on May, 17, 2011:

This cannot be a reasonable sample size then, because hair loss is a lot more common than 0.15% I have taken Letrozole at 2.5mg ED for 2 weeks and noticed very slight recession of my hairline. I would say the chances are around 10%-15% for hairloss at minimum like others are reporting elsewhere.....
