Agree with Chrissy. We all are different with different inbalances so no one size fits all and research research research.

Off topic but not i'm going to try "seed cycling"

Maybe it'l raise the hormones that need to be raised. Old fenugreek doesn't agree with me and meant to do the same thing. The seeds will be hard to digest so will work around that.
I've always said/wondered if there's an "adaptogen" out there that will balance all the sex hormones in one hit!?
If what you have that's causing your issues is auto immune in nature might want to put off the ashwaghanda, might stimulate things in the wrong direction, same reason i have it but haven't TRIED it
You can always "self refer" hormone tests but again research to get the right one and do it at the right time. I think its instrumental. Maybe not completely reliable but if there was something truely screamingly awry a decent test would red flag it and that's what you want initially.
The hairs around nipples isnt that tied up with PCOS?
Also just my opinion, way too much maca! Start a bit lower and and if were you i'd do one thing, not confuse and overload the body cause I've been there done that and ended up worse. I had much more success with maca in balancing me out by taking just that on its own. Whole world botanicals worked brilliantly but they use Carrageenan in their pills which isn't ideal so i stopped using it.

Yes me too, searching for that balancer! I thought Vitex was a balancing herb but I got no growth from it. I'm now trying Maca, an apparent adaptogen. Trying not to be too hopeful that I'll find that magic pill that sorts everything out for me! But it does happen for some people, they find the supplement that fixes everything. The Maca I've got is 2500mg a capsule - I did think it sounded a lot! Maybe I've chosen a band brand  
Yeah I'll wait til I've been off the pill a bit longer and then do more tests.  And ignore them if they tell me it doesn't matter which day of my cycle they're taken on! There's £200 I'll never see again...
I feel I have some symptoms of PCOS but I've had a pelvic scan that was normal so I doubt the NHS will scan me again. I'll try to test my testosterone again. If it's normal I really don't know what to think! I want to see a private hormone specialist but whenever I've enquired they seem very dismissive unless you're not having infertility problems. Starting to despair!
