Acne/Melasma with bovine ovary

Hello all! I am a newcomer and have been reading all of the helpful posts here. I think I'm going to start with BO, but am wondering about side effects. Can anyone who has tried BO before tell me if they experienced increased acne, or seen signs of melasma (also known as "pregnancy mask" - dark spots of skin, usually on cheeks, and upper lip, associated with higher estrogen levels). I had some melasma when I was on bc pills years ago and don't really want it back. I also just recently got my acne under control. I would like to weigh in on the pros and cons before I start a BO program, so I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has any insights to share - if they experienced either of these and to what degree. Thanks so much for any help!!

My experience with BO over the last 5.5 months has brought no symptions. I am not acne prone though, however I do get a couple of hormonal pimples every few months before a period. I know the pregnancy mask that you speak of, I got it when I was pregnant, but it has not come back on BO. I did hear of some getting something similar while on L-Tyrosine I think. I also heard of a few ladies getting acne, but whether it could be blamed on the BO or other suppliments is unknown.
I think that generally BO is taken without side effects, but there are exceptions and I have read about them on this forum.

My hormonal acne has disappeared from using BO. Not that it will do that for someone else, though. There's no telling how it's going to affect you.
