Forgot to give a bit of background xD. Let's see if you guys can help me!

I have all my Ts out of balance. Testosterone and free T are just +1 away of normal standards, but DHT ...ha, that's another story. It's high indeed, around 300 and I am a cis-female.  So yes, my only concern is hirsutism.

I contacted a naturopath doctor and she ruled out PCOS since my FHS levels are normal, and insulin too. My periods are really on time always, so she suggested it may be Adrenal PCOS - due to my anxiety, stress and so on - and prescribed me Zinc+ Dim and Saw Palmetto at first. But SP gave me nausea and switched it to Vitex.

I know taking Zinc daily won't harm my cycle, but I have my doubts with DIM and Vitex. I take DIM after my period is gone and I am not having issues yet with it but I am not sure if I am taking it correctly (Dr said all month but...).

Now, I know Vitex cannot be taken everyday and I looked it up and seems just for follicular phase. But my periods are pretty regular, so I have no idea what to think since Vitex is adaptogen, right?

Also, I used to take reishi in liquid form and I don't know if I should keep using it.

So I just want to balance out my hormones and see if I can get some benefit too for NBE from this haha, even though is hard and a long-term process.

Sweetorange,

I have my own take regarding your labs, (though in spanish I can interpret it).

There's 4 types of PCOS as follows:

Insulin resistant PCOS
Post-pill PCOS
Inflammatory PCOS
Adrenal PCOS

The latter is where I see you. See, you can still have normal LH and FSH levels and still present with PCOS.

Your labs indicate low estradiol, high DHEA and slightly elevated prolactin. Which is typical in adrenal PCOS.

I can help you develop a plan to reduce adrenal PCOS. Let me know. Vitex doesn't fit with what I have in mind.
