Reishi is what I've been having good results with. I took capsules, but now I have a liquid extract (which tastes just...bad. But it works! And is seemingly good for general health.) I don't know exactly how accurate this is, but I've heard that low progesterone can also contribute to high androgens.

I was also taking maca all the while I was taking reishi though, and I feel like maca was wonderful for me. I worked out while I took it and I did gain on the bottom (35 --> 37) but I felt more balanced on it and generally good. I stopped taking it recently because I'm afraid it'll affect how my birth control works, though.

Migraines could be caused by hormonal fluctuations; I used to get them terribly before I ever took birth control. I'd pay attention to whether any herbs worsen them.
It sounds like you have a similar experience to me in the hormone area. Do you know if you've always had imbalances, or if it came about later on?

I've never heard of reishi before; I'll probably research it a bit. I've never been on BC, but I've always felt like it would be a possible solution to my acne (especially based on the other symptoms I've had). Maybe I'll start taking the maca again, slowly. My only concern is mixing it with the other things I'm taking.

I definitely felt something weird going on the last few days with those migraines, so I bet you're right that it had something to do with my hormones. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't come back again today (so far, so good!). I've also felt very fatigued the last few days, but today I'm not feeling that way yet. I'm always making sure to drink plenty of water and to go for a walk at least 5 days each week.
