Hi NBE-Newbie,
40s means your cycle hasn't picked up yet:

Acne means you do have testosterone, but your body makes DHT from it, and no estrogen. You could be lacking aromatase, but the first thing would be to get an ovulation going. Only, you need a peak in estrogen for that.
So this is catch-22. Have you tried a combination bcp?
