PCOS

Hiya Well, there've been quite a few developments since I first posted my story to this forum. First of all, I switched contraceptive pill - from Microgynon (a high androgen index pill, it turns out), to Dianette (an anti-androgen), and then to Marvelon (a low androgen index pill), which I'm current...

Oestrogen drops

Sonali's Hair Loss Story

Hello I found this site on the web, but am emailing from Britain - I get the impression that most of the users of the site are North American? I don't recognise many of the names of the treatments people are using, so maybe someone can help! I'm 26, British Asian, and started to have slightly thinni...
