I am too am slim and 120 pounds and just under 5 foot six.
However I get alot the symptoms, irregular periods, acne and hair loss. Not really excess hair though strangely.
I came off Yasmin three months ago and for the last three months I have been on a low GL diet which has meant that I have increased proteins, reduced carbs overall and cut out refined carbs. I eat complex carbs in smaller portions, combine complex carbs with protein and have three meals a day plus heathly snacks. I saw a nutritionist who recommended this diet.
Amazingly the low GL diet has worked, my periods have been bang on time for three months. I am amazed by this as this hasn't ever happened to me since I first got my period at 13 and I am now 31! My acne has also been much better. However my hair loss is persistant though and falling out very quickly. Does anyone know of any supplements/foods/exercise etc may help with the hair loss? I take a multivitamin, zinc, chomium and saw palmetto daily.
