Yeah, I experienced some things similar to you. I felt the SP caused acne for me and experienced clearer skin with PC, but with some of the blemishes coming back after I stopped the PC. And also the early period with the PC too.
I've since visited my primary doctor and she gave me a script to get a blood test but told me to wait until the 26th to make sure the PC was totally out of my system. I read some people talking about getting two blood tests to check your hormones during different times of your cycle since your hormones change during your cycle, so I'm gonna look into that more and ask if I should get a 2nd one later on or maybe even see a hormone doctor. I don't know I think maybe a lot of things I experience might be affected by my hormones.
I really want to try vitex, googling different things I've notice a lot of people who benefited from PC also benefited from vitex and on another forum some people said they thought SP worked better for guys and vitex for girls and there were a lot of people who broke out with SP.
I don't think vitex will necessarily be an immediate cure all or cause immediate clear skin, but it seems that some people get overall balanced hormones, including clear skin when using it over several months and maybe that's what I need but I'm going to get my test done first. I'm waiting till after the 26th to get it.
Did you ever get a blood test?
I totally get what you mean by wanting to balance your body, that's what I'm focusing on too. I also tried the lemon water in the morning, my skin hasn't cleared from it but it's been good for my digestion, so I'm actually going to keep doing that.
Tea tree oil has been helping my blemishes though, so look into that if your still also breaking out. I dab a little on each blemish.
When ever my skin clears I'll definitely post what happened!
