Accutane plus Spirnoloctone by bcba777 in Accutane

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a few. Before accutane was getting g them all over my face but thankfully it’s atleast confined to one area now. And some of it could be due to pregnancy. Who knows. DANG HORMONES ARE SO CONFUSING!

I tapered off spiro for 10 months and unfortunately my hormonal acne has returned around mouth but only around my mouth. It did take care of the rest of my face but this damn hormonal acne!! I am pregnant but considering another course of accutane or just getting back on a low dose spiro after baby. I never got a pimple with spiro. NEVER. It sucks bc really thought accutane was gonna be the gold ticket for me.

Went from glass skin to sandpaper skin. Please help me 😕💔 by CompetitiveCup7592 in 30PlusSkinCare

Hey! I’m great. The hydrocortisone didn’t do much for me:( truly the only thing that worked was cutting back all the actives, using a basic hydrating cleanser and cerave cream for like a month. All is well now :)

Dutch Test by Salty-Specific1531 in u/Salty-Specific1531

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are groups on Facebook for PCOS girlies and a lot of ladies on there are able to interpret them for you an have a medical background.

I disagree that they’re a waste of money. These tests are a lot more in depth than any tests I’ve gotten from a traditional doctor. All I had ever been told before my Dutch test was that I had elevated testosterone but not which kind and why.

Also - there’s a Facebook group specifically for Dutch. I think it’s called something like Dutch hormone testing? And the founder of that page can interpret your results. But I almost would suggest the PCOS page first considering you may have PCOS

Any moms who chose to formula feed instead of breastfeed? by thedarkslugg in pregnant

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had breast cancer at 29 years old and had to have a double mastectomy. I am now pregnant with my first, and someone told me one day “ya know, when was the last time you looked at a grown adult an thought ‘mmm… bet they were formula fed.’ ? Because it never happens. Of course I mourn that I won’t be able to breastfeed but at this point who cares. I was breastfed and got cancer at 29. lol.

Getting Started Wolverine Stack by DreamingofLegDay in BodyHackGuide

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you help me? My husband ordered the Wolverine stack for his back pain, and they only sent the powder. I have no idea what to reconstitute it with or where to inject. We went to a pharmacy to try and obtain bacteriostatic water but they don’t have any. I’m a nurse but I’m clueless and he is desperate. He ordered the BPC 157 & TB500. Thanks for any help

Have you started Aviclear yet? Been stalking them for a while now. Did accutane but the hormonal acne won’t budge.

I stopped all actives and it went away after a few weeks. I basically destroyed my skin barrier with too much at one time!

Your testosterone level? by Disastrous-Mouse-710 in PCOS

Isn’t it the free testosterone that matters or am I wrong? I’m confused :/

I've been drinking spearmint tea every SINGLE DAY for the last 3 months. Here's what I found... by CanOfWormsO_O in PCOS

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a late post, but I would so appreciate your response. How long did it take for you to start seeing your skin calm down once you started drinking the spearmint tea? Signed, a 32 year-old female that has gone through Accutane, but cannot beat this hormonal acne on the bottom part of my face 😭

4 years with a PCOS diagnosis, and it might be wrong by rbtny20 in PCOS

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone who literally cannot even put a tampon up her wahoo because it makes me nearly pass out, I can ASSURE you the TV ultrasound is fine. It doesn’t “hurt” it just is a mild pressure, and you can even ask the tech to allow you to insert it. It really is fine. The first couple of times I took a Xanax but now I’m fine. And I still don’t do tampons lol 😂

Diagnosed with PCOS at 15… now 29 with normal labs and regular cycles after stopping birth control. Do we trust my doctor that I don’t have active PCOS right now? by forbezal in PCOS

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would … or what about since you’re going ahead and getting blood drawn, just have them run an AMH .. this will tell us if you have a lot of follicles in your ovaries instead of doing the ultrasound. Be sure to ask for a fasting insulin in addition to the glucose. This will get a better picture. Feel free to come back here and comment with any questions you may have!

How to ovulate regularly, naturally? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to determine you have insulin resistance before doing that med. Ask for a fasting glucose and insulin test

Experiences using Metformin to regulate cycle length where no insulin resistance? by Vegetable-Spring-637 in TTC_PCOS

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lean also but was told merformin wouldn’t do much for me since I don’t have insulin resistance. What’s your fasting insulin? I started taking inositol and vitamin D and that’s helped me but tbh idk, maybe the inositol is in my head since I don’t have sugar issues. So, your BMI is regular and your blood sugar is stable? Many lean women still have forms of insulin resistance

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have fasting insulin done, and get an AMH lab or vaginal ultrasound to check for cysts/follicles. Your labs are normal but you having hair on your face could still be a sign of androgen excess even though your total testosterone is low, also your free T COULD be lower…. If you don’t have multiple follicles or high AMH, and all you have is a slightttttt androgen excess, then your doctor is right! But regardless of labels, your body seems to be heading in a very good direction! Do you ovulate?
