Do you have any idea of what your hormone levels are? Like, have you gotten them tested? Irregular periods/acne are signs of imbalance, so that might be a good move if you can afford it/make the time.
Seeing as you might be getting results with the PC, you might want to hold off on the PM for a little bit. Or at least don't take a ton of it, because you don't want bad side effects when you're not sure you'll get growth from it. You might have high estrogen/low progesterone with your bottom heavy measurements, and adding more estrogen might not add where you want it.
Continuing to reduce testosterone is probably a good move; I have horrible hormonal/cystic acne (along with other signs of high androgens) when I'm not on birth control, and taking herbs that reduce androgens (with aromatase added to help with some of the free T) has really helped clear that issue up.
An adaptogen like maca also might help balance your hormones to where they should be; it can support progesterone when your body isn't making enough to balance the estrogen. But it also has the infamous side effect of gaining in the butt area, I think mainly because it supports muscle growth. So I'm not sure if you'd want that possibility.
Anyways, good luck! I hope you do get some good results with the PM if you start taking it. I noticed results when I took it WITH BCP (but got so many side-effects that I got sick) and then didn't get a thing when I took it off BCP. It's different for everyone, sadly.
