You can be just fine. Just focus on your health. Maybe you can come back to NBE, when your health improves to do it naturally.

Do you know of any changes that caused you to lose weight? Difference in physical activity, stress, moving? Sometimes, if muscles don't face enough resistance, it causes muscle loss, then less hunger, then a loss in weight. Could it be chemicals in the environment? You said you haven't changed eating habits, so are you sure nothing in your eating habits changed? The polyp could be causing the imbalance as you said.

I'm not sure if pcos is caused by estrogen dominance. While the suggestion of spearmint was well meant, spearmint raises hormones associated with estrogen dominance. It raises LH and FSH, which raise estrogen or testosterone. Estrogen is synthesized from testosterone. Based on spearmint's effects, I believe it raises testosterone then converts it into estrogen, To raise estrogen while lowering testosterone, White Peony is a better option than spearmint.

Bcp's are usually both estrogens and progestogens together.The suggestions for BCP's were good, and it is also mentioned in Wikipedia and NLM's encyclopedia for helping with PCOS. If PCOS is caused by estrogen dominance, prolactin and progestogens lower estradiol.

Look into massage, fiber, green tea, hops, progestogenic herbs, or enough vitamins (from food or supplements). While green tea is considered estrogenic, it lowers DHT, and it lowers problems associated with PCOS, too much also lowers breast volume. I think it would help with PCOS too. Hops raises prolactin, which is helpful against estrogen dominance. Massage raises prolactin. Here is NLM's encyclopedia about PCOS, and it supports what you said about weight changes. You can ask your doctor about PCOS and hormones, because they know more.

I wonder if PCOS is associated with DHT,;considering that PCOS related symptoms come with other symptoms that are caused by DHT.

I hope you feel better.

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is stress, but I have been stressed before and it never effected my weight-- I noticed when I took a multi vitamin and maca my weight came back, thats how my chest got back up from the small B.

I did notice that my weight started changing around the time my periods started changing and I felt the cyst pain, thats why I linked the two :/

Yes I heard BCP is good for the cyst, but I really want to take BO or PM or PC for my breast size and hormones-- so I dont know which route to take I dont want them to interfere with my cyst or BC, but as you said, I think I should get healthy before I do any NBE.. maybe I can noogle while I wait to get my body in order.. I was thinking of seeing and Endocrinologist..

estradiol, I am not sure what that controls over. ^^;

"Hops raises prolactin, which is helpful against estrogen dominance."
