Hi Ladies,
I would so appreciate any advice you all could give me.
Here is my story.
In 1991 I had a cyst. I was on BCP since I was 17 and at the time of the cyst I had a norplant in my arm. I gained alot of weight in a very short time on the norplant. The cyst gave me the label of PCOS so I stayed on BCP most of my adult life. I had regular periods, had headaches, developed an arrhythmia and felt generally crappy. One year ago, at age 34 I was told (after a perfect ultrasound and low glucose test) that I was NOT PCOS. They had changed their minds. So I decided to go off the pill. The first month was NASTY. I felt ill, had oodles of palpitations, elevated liver enzymes ...you name it. Then I settled into a period of wellness. I pooped better, slept better, had less palps, felt super horny and had a relatively regular cycle. I would bleed every 26 to 36 days and ovulated every 17th day. On ovulation I would have some tachycardia, elevated temp and a cervical mucus blob. So I felt pretty healthy and normal. Well, I recently had blood work done that revealed (on day 14 of my cycle but I ovulate day 17) that I had a total testosterone of 102 and progesterone of .5 , my DHEA was 261, my fasting glucose was 92 and my estrogens appeared normal. My Dr. writes me a persciption for bioidentical progesterone cream and off I go. CONFUSED. Am I PCOS? Am I not? I am OBSESSED with the hair loss thing. I Think my hair might be thinning but I can't really tell. I have all of a sudden developed darker leg hair and hair on my upper thighs which I never had before. I have a few chin hairs which are new. I did the cream for days 14 through 28 and my period never came. (it's day 31 now). I'm terrified that this new carpet of hair on my legs, which used to be blond, will forever be dark.
Will progesterone cream lower my testosterone? I can't stomach the idea of going back on the pill as my heart is so much better now. We aren't having biological children because of my heart issue so we are adopting and conception is not a concern. I just wonder....is this just my body bouncing to the other extreme after having been on the pill so long? Will the pendulum swing the other way eventually? Do i have PCOS??? Should I take flax seed? Saw palmetto? I weigh 240 and OMG I LOVE sugar. I'm desperate to correct the hair issue and lower my health risk profile but I am afraid to sacrifice the fact that I feel well.....and happy. and horny.
Sorry so long but I am just praying that some cyster out there has a similar profile to my own and can advise me.
Thanks everyone for understanding.
