we use condoms... we're careful.

i can see the aldactone and the pill making things look better... but it still leads back to my hatred of pills that only mask symptoms which you can't stay on indefinitely. (i would want to get preg some day... i want to get my body WORKING now... and i don't want to go off aldactone, get ahiry again, and have to start again later... if/when i get pregnant...)

i just wonder if aldactone really IS a road to wellness... if you adress the underlaying problems while taking it. will the hair aldactone reduces come back when you go off if you continue taking the glucophage and reducing insulin/testosterone through that route? of do the hair follicles themselves put out testosterone regardless of insulin/ovarian function?

i think i have read that once a hair goes terminal, it makes it's own supply... anyone know this?
