Re: bcp for 44 year old

Hi,

Hate to say this, but a BCP will not help with hairiness, and obesity. There are antiandrogens that do help with the hair side. The obesity side, the best bet is an insulin sensitiser such as metformin. A lower carb diet may also help with the obesity. Are you insulin resistant? If you are, a BCP increases the risk of progression to full-blown diabetes. Plenty of info on this site. Pleas ask all the questions you like.
