My endocrinologist says anything over 50 is bad. Were you on birth control pills while these levels were drawn? BCPs further lower testosterone so... your normal levels could be much higher. I would suggest finding a dr. that will put you on some glucophage ... your testosterone level isn't high enough to warrant a purely testosterone-lowering drug (I don't think) so the gluco should be enough... if it works for you. >The Dr mentioned that he wanted to put me on birth control.

If you had trouble w/it in the past, don't go on it. It will probably give you more trouble. Some women benefit from bcp... some don't. -- Panacea Next message: anonymous: "Re: What would you say if you could talk about PCOS on local TV?"
