Gals,

These bcps are dangerous!! If you can get PCOS relief from topical estrogen/progesterone creams, I highly recommend it over synthetic hormones. I took Yaz for one month, my blood pressure spiked (common side effect of synthetic estrogen). So for fear of having a stroke, my gyn pulled me off of it. I'm in week 2 of the 3-6 month dread shed that comes from stopping estrogen!! Losing 50+ per day and was losing less than 20 per day prior. It's miserable and so ironic since the only reason I was taking it was for hair loss.

I'm now on the mini-pill, synthetic progesterone. When the hair loss stabilizes, I'll switch to natural progesterone cream.
