I took an adrenal test my DHEA was very high which causes excess testosterone , and my cortisol low, and I am also low in progesterone. I have just started taking natural progeterone cream and noticed my facial and body hair getting lighter in 3 months as well as rebalancing my periods. I'd love to hear from you, also a book that may be helpful to other sufferers is (John R Lees book, its called "What your docter may not tell you about the menopause) Take care and good luck Next message: Lisa: "Where do I start?"
