My testerone levels are now normal, but I am still hairy. What was interesting was that my DHEAS (precurser to testerone) was VERY high - upper 200s so my endo ran a dexamethasone suppression test and discovered that my adrenal glands are producing androgens. After the baby is born I am going to start a low dose of dex that should drop my DHEAS down to normal and drop my testerone and free testerone even more.
