Hi there,
Oral contraceptives and birth control pills contain estrogen. There may be an initial increase in hair growth or reduction in hair loss experienced by few women when they start taking birth control pills or estrogen replacement pills. Since you have been taking it continuously estrogen levels will stabilize and the natural hair growth cycle might be restored. Long term use of hormonal contraceptives should be discouraged.

Testosterone causes hair growth. I wonder if you could safely take that alone for hair growth? However, it could cause some facial hair. That would be something you need to weigh the pros and cons. From what I understand, hair loss is a normal part of menopause. I guess it depends on the degree of your hair loss as to whether you want to do something about it.
This is the Ovarian Cancer forum. You might want to find an area of MedHelp that would pertain more to your particular problem.
Adrenarche is what you are talking about, the adrenal gland kicks in a little earlier than normal giving us some expression of normal but annoying male hormones causing body odor, pubertal hair growth and some advancement of bone maturity, however, obesity itself can advance the bones as well and I would seriously look at the weight to be sure that the weight is controlled well, rapid weight gain and increased insulin production can also stimulate bone maturation and also adrenarche is influenc

Hi there. Welcome. We do have a PCOS forum just to let you know. They may be able to help you.
I, in all honesty, would call your doctor. They can talk to you over the phone or have nurses that do so. They've recently prescribed medication (the cream) that isn't doing what they had hoped. I'd allow them to guide you through what to now do.
m taking other vitamins, including Biotin, B complex, fish oil, iron, zinc, vitamin D, and magnesium, in hopes of encouraging hair growth, but my hair continues to fall out and it's becoming very concerning.
I had my labs checked shortly before starting the DIM supplements and everything came back normal, though my TSH was fairly low (0.74), but my doctor said that the lower that number was, the better, despite the fact that I have thought I might have low thyroid for years.
Any chance you are low on estrogen?
birth control pill--in other words, one that contains estrogen. That will help with hair growth. The hair that you have is probably permanent but can be removed with laser or electrolysis. You definitely want to stop it now though!
I also think you should call your doctor to be certain that there is no need for hormone testing--I might consider a free testosterone level and a DHEAS
Good luck!
The different methods of hair removal are shaving, chemical depilation by using depilatory creams, temporary epilation by plucking, tweezing, waxing and permanent epilation by electrolysis, thermolysis and laser hair removal. But if the hair growth is excessive then hirsutism has to be ruled out. Hirsutism is usually caused by hormonal imbalance and in women PCOS is one of the leading causes of hirsutism and infertility.

I saw an RE who told me just after looking at my ovary ultrasound that I had pcos yet I had a normal period and no signs until recently (hair loss/growth). I was found to be prediabetic and insulin resistant. I also developed hypertension and cholesterol went up. They put me on Spironolactone, birth control, and metformin. I went on a low carb no sugar diet and weight fell off me.
