Hi all! I've been trying to read all of the forum to figure out the best course of action for me. Any and all advice is much appreciated.
I'm:
27
Female
On no medication or birth control
Weight: 145 (no weight problems.. well I could stand to lose 10 lbs
)
Backstory: After puberty, I had irregular periods, acne, and HAIR everywhere. At age 15 I went to a gynecologist who refereed me to a endocrinologist. Her "findings" was that I had possible partial 17 hydroxylase deficiency. She tried to put me on steriods but I freaked out and left and never took it.
Age 20: I go back to the same doctor who looks over her old paperwork and says she was mistaken and I have PCOS and puts me on BC pills.
I tried every kind of pill, patch, ring, etc and spirnolactone but nothing affected the hair. Had 6 treatments of laser.. still a beast.
I've been off of birth control and medication in general for 5+ years now.
Current Symptoms:
SO hairy: I have to shave my face every day.. sometimes twice a day. And hair everywhere else, dark, and like three hairs coming out of one follicle!
My periods are somewhat normal: 30-40 day cycles. Use to be 60+ cycles
My boobs leak colostrum? I'm not pregnant, no kids. But it's a yellow, sticky fluid so that leads me to think I'm making too much prolactin.
Infertility (which could be from too much prolactin from my research)
Mainly right now I'm worried about getting this facial/body hair reduced so I started drinking 2 cups of spearmint tea per day. I bought a huge bottle of Flax Seek Oil Cold Pressed Fresh but I'm not sure if I need that too.
Any other suggestions?
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated! Thanks
