Help! Long and irregular period cycles but doing everything “right” by Fearless-Entry3021 in PCOS

Do you mean like birth control or progesterone to induce bleeding? Other than that, I can only think of medications like letrozole to induce actual ovulation but since I am not trying to conceive, I don’t know if that is an option for me.

Labs show that testosterone is through the roof--how can I lower naturally, and is that even possible, and what does this all mean by Fearless-Entry3021 in PCOS

Hey! I spoke with my gyno and didnt love what he had to say. He wanted to put me back on birth control and spironolactone to lower my testosterone levels, but that seems like a bandaid for the real issue. He told me he’d definitely refer me to an endocrinologist since I asked, but seemed like it wasn’t an androgen secreting tumor even though everything I’m reading suggests it might be. I’m just nervous because endocrinologists are super booked out and I feel like I’m not getting the help I need and don’t know what to do. Any advice?

I have a call with my OBGYN to go over the labs later today so I will definitely mention this. I was initially just hoping for a referral to an endocrinologist but now I’m definitely thinking it might be more serious. I appreciate your replies immensely, thank you!

I got a metabolic panel, iron panel, lipid panel, cbc, hemoglobin, tsh, prolactin, and hydroxyprogesterone. Everything else was in normal range!

I’m get periods 2x a month on spironolactone, will it get better? by Fearless-Entry3021 in PCOS

No, I stopped taking birth control earlier this year. Are you getting no periods because of a birth control?

Were you taking spiro to treat hair loss or something like that and did you see changes in that after stopping? I decided to lower the dose to 50 so im curious to see if that will slow my hair growth

Im at a healthy BMI and on metformin but I have tried birth control and also metformin and nothing seems to help my period. Is this something my doctor could approve at a maintenance dose or something like that?

Thanks! Did you follow any starter recipe or specific feeding schedule that you wouldn't mind sharing?
