Hi in response to the possibility of my hormone profile and having that be the reason the doctor suggested an OCP instead of just progesterone, No one has done any type of hormone profile or testing on me...should this of been done a long time ago...before surgery for example? And how much of a difference does it make ...as no one has mentioned it to me...he merely suggested OCP, IUD , or Depo. I am not interested in any of those at all..they are horrible for me. LIke I said, this is why my husband had a vasectomy. I am seeing the doctor for my follow up in about 4 weeks so any help would be great as I could bring stuff up to him. I have been long concerned about my hormones, but do to my experience w/the OCP am afraid to try them ever again. I am 27 and get acne, hirsutism, and horrible PMS the second half of the month, along w/the spotting. However, the doctor looked at my ovaries during surgery and said they looked fine, so they must not be polycystic (I had thought maybe that was it) But I am at the bottom of normal weight charts for myself though my breasts have been apprantly shrinking the past year and a half too now...they had always been a B cup until after my second child when I quite nursing they eventually shrank to an A cup, and then now I am suddenly an AA cup (5 years later after the birth), this added w/now my acne is worse as its begun on my back too after all these years. I hate it but I have tried everything for the acne and the onlytime in my life I haven't had acne is when pregnant or on the OCP. I am not sure if these other things would relate to the hormone profile or not but estrogen really scares me and if I could just take progesterone for only half the month, it seems easier to tolerate to me than taking both estrogen and progestserone all month long when I don't even need pregnancy protection.
