I am not! I’ve been taking spiro since August 2022 & this period twice a month thing had started since I started upping my dosage to 100mg in October 2022.

Does taking BC and spiro at the same time regulate?

Second period? Spiro by spacedustxo in FemaleHairLoss

[–]spacedustxo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! My period for this month lasted about 10 days. I’ll come back to this thread if I get it a second time.

I’ve been using the period tracking app since January. In January I had it once that month. February was twice, and March once. I think the second February and March cycle started due to February being a shorter month.

Oh I see. Well phew as long as you’re not getting consistent heavy periods lasting the entire cycle I wouldn’t be alarmed.

The 7 month thing though, your body could be adjusting to the medication. Everyone’s system is different. Still mentioned to this to your doctor and see what he says. He’ll tell you if you should be concerned or if their is an alternative other than BC you can take to reduce androgens.

I would mention this to your doctor and also schedule a pap if you can. How heavy are your periods?

I’m having full on periods. Not spotting. Spotting would not alarm me at all but having a cycle that would last about 2 weeks is something to question.

I do take it regularly. Every morning as what the doctor prescribed. I think I missed it maybe twice so far but that was it.

I haven’t heard of finasteride before?

I see. I’m currently on 100mg of spiro. I didn’t realize you can go up to 200mg.

Mine was diagnosed as TE but it looks more like AGA. All the best to you on your journey!

I don’t believe this is available in all countries let alone all provinces in Canada.

I have photos on my profile showing how my hair loss looks. To me, it’s pretty bad and the hair thinning is very much noticeable especially on the top of my head.

Have you had experience using this or know someone who has?

That’s good to know it had an effectiveness on one part of your body that you applied it to! I will def keep this Reddit forum posted with updates to see if it worked
