Thank you joyland,
You could read Melissa's program thread for experiments with herbs in a BO program:

I don't know of anyone else who tried that.
OK, the androgen symptoms make your tubular breasts situation more similar to the others described on the forum. Even before experimenting with progesterone, it's important to get the androgen symptoms under control. With any luck, wild yam will do both. If not, try spearmint tea, barley grass, borage seed oil, vitamin B6, zinc, or pygeum bark. The common other anti-androgens will either increase estrogens too, like hops or PM or flax, or cause other side effects, like big thighs from SP.
I like simple programs. This may be the right time for a good multi-vitamin:
50-80 µg vitamin B12
2-10 mg vitamin B6
vitamin E increases progesterone in the luteal phase
200-400 µg folic acid, or spinach (preferably frozen), asparagus, broccoli, avocado, lettuce
12-35 mg zinc, or seafood (oysters!), meat, chicken, dairy, oats
18-25 mg iron if you menstruate regularly
If you're lucky, the vitamin B6 and the zinc will reduce androgen symptoms already.
Another simple option is a visit to the ob/gyn, ask for a hormone panel to confirm dr. Lee's test, and get a progesterone-only bcp. After the first cycles on the bcp and the multi, do another hormone panel: the balances may look very different already.
