It might be time to try a natural approach. I can understand your hesitation about starting bcps. All of these medications can feel overwhelming at times.

Looks like the Spiro is getting your testosterone down however with bad side effects. I've been taking saw palmetto, the natural form of Spiro, for about 4 months now. My acne has greatly improved since then, and I haven't had a cyst in several months. I'm not sure if the lack of cysts are directly related to the saw palmetto, but it sure is nice not having that annoying pain all the time. I also find I stand up a lot better without cysts.

Good luck and take some time to consider your options before starting back on the pill.
