Hi! I'm new here 
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I took blood tests which revealed that I have excess male hormones. I have hair in unwanted places (chin/upper lip, around nipples, chest, belly). I also have oily skin and acne, but I've managed to keep my acne mostly under control. My boobs are underdeveloped, size 32A. I have always been insecure about my boobs and I would like to go up a cup or two.
I have been taking saw palmetto in hopes that it will decrease my androgen levels.. maybe it's a little too early to tell but my skin seems to be less oily and i feel a little soreness in my breasts. My appetite seems to have increased and I gained a few pounds, which is totally not a bad thing since I'm a little underweight
I have tried PM but all it did was turn me into a moody mess and it almost ruined my relationship with my boyfriend. Thought about going on spiro but then I'd have to watch my potassium/salt intake like a hawk which sounds like a pain in the a**
Would like to know who else is in the same boat as me & what did you do to lower your male hormones?
