But it still doesn't explain my breast problem...Which i didn't talk to him about... I also started taking birth control because i heard that i can help with these kind of problems but i haven't noticed any changes and i've been taking birth control for about 3 years now...
That was years ago. someone like yourself should be checked yearly. And yes, your facial hair is the reason. You have high androgens most likely and that was the reason your breasts never developed. Your doc is an idiot. Its not normal to have facial hair for a woman, it is common.
BC is synthetic, its no wonder why it didn't help you. You are probably sterile if you go off of it.
You have a lot to take care of. I would taper off of bc and get thoroughly tested on all hormones and test thyroid and adrenals and even pituitary function. Go from there.
Good luck.
