Morning Sonia, Tasha, Avantika,
Sonia, am on yasmin as well, been on it for the past 6months. the good thing about it, is that it slows down excess hair growth. on the downside, i have added weight
previously, i was on marvelon...that really helped me lose weight. although none helped with the hair shedding. by the way, I read something about iron levels helping hair growth and stopping shedding. there are threads on this website discussing it. am going to ask for ferritine tests next time i go to the doctor. and hopefully, be prescribed iron supplements.
thank you for your encouraging words, though there appear to be more days for crying than otherwise
by the way, what is organic and commercial milk? how do you tell the difference? by organic, do you mean straight from the cow?
slm, what bcp are you using? yasmin is the only pill tht has a certain component that slows down hair growth...you should ask your doc about it.
am not sure about stopping taking synthetic hormones in form of bcp...i think at some point medicine is indeed necessary..i have read cases where women have gone off bcps, and the hirsutism returning with a vengeance...i dnt know...am not sure i want to risk trusting 'natural hormones'...which out of curiosity, are what exactly? and any success stories?
i must say that my hirsutism is slightly under control after taking bcps...my skin looks a tad better, too. about weight gain, it depends on your body, some pills will make you add, others lose...like slm said, trial and error!
