This is why I'm a little nervous to take PM (because I'm bottom heavy and that might mean I have more estrogen), and I definitely think that PC was starting to help, but I don't think I can take it for my whole cycle and I don't want to become progesterone dominant.

What herbs do you take for your high androgens? Because I have other problems aside from acne as well that point to high androgens, but I haven't noticed them to be relieved at all (my acne is controlled with bp, but drinking spearmint tea and taking FG and SP I still don't feel like the other issues have reduced).

I do have maca but I was worried about taking even more herbs all at the same time (but maybe I should try it anyway). Because you're right, while I'm not taking PC it might help to keep my other levels more normal. Have you ever taken maca? If so, have you noticed that it's helped you at all?

Thanks also for your reply!


Yesterday I started taking 1 500mg Ainterol PM pill a day, but I'm not sure if I will continue with it or not, since PC seemed to be helping. I think I'll continue but will watch closely for any negative side affects. I've been getting bad migraines the last few days and I don't know if it's from the PC I had been taking, or if it's just one of those things (I am prone to them).

Birth control kept my acne down for years...and when I stopped taking it, I found out just how terrible my skin was waiting to be :/ I drink spearmint tea, but that's a relatively new development. Reishi is what I've been having good results with. I took capsules, but now I have a liquid extract (which tastes just...bad. But it works! And is seemingly good for general health.) I don't know exactly how accurate this is, but I've heard that low progesterone can also contribute to high androgens.

I was also taking maca all the while I was taking reishi though, and I feel like maca was wonderful for me. I worked out while I took it and I did gain on the bottom (35 --> 37) but I felt more balanced on it and generally good. I stopped taking it recently because I'm afraid it'll affect how my birth control works, though.

Migraines could be caused by hormonal fluctuations; I used to get them terribly before I ever took birth control. I'd pay attention to whether any herbs worsen them.
