high testosterone....

Hi there,

I've got higher testosterone levels with my PCOS, and they put me on the pill to fix it at the time, which induced a period

But now we are TTC I don't have a period, and it is induced by Provera. Which works for me!

Lol, that probably wasn't much help but just my experience

So in your situation I don't know what they'd do... I've never heard of Provera not working before
Good luck though, when will you hear back to what's gonna be tried next?

Yep, i have high testosterone too.. NOt sure what it means yet..

hmm is it scientific? id say there is about a cm between mine..dont have a tape measure atm.. and I'm a tomboy but got no maths ability.. why would your mother dealing with that give you more testostorone?(I'm not trying to be a pain i really dont know)

I think that stress triggers testoterone, I can't remember the other triggers they mentioned during the show I just remember that one and thinking no wonder I've got a longer ring finger. When she was pregnant with me my mum had a 3yo and a terminally ill 2 yo, on a single income struggling to make ends meet because they had to ensure they had money for medication, transport to Pete's hospital appts etc (in the days before the child cancer foundation) they would literally have to choose what to buy for the week - a pint of milk or a loaf of bread. Bet she was more stressed than I can even imagine.

I've never considered myself a tomboy (although I guess I did tomboyish things with my bros growing up) I love girly things - my favourite colour is pink and you should have seen my massive barbie doll collection that I had as a kid. I'm good at maths (but I have a lot of family that work in financial roles too). I've always been very physical and very competitive, I enjoy DIY and like to build things, I love action movies (Die hard, Indiana Jones etc) and one of my fav shows is Top Gear. Then again I like to sew and do cross stitch too and one of my favourite movies is Love Actually - maybe I'm just totally in touch with both my testosterone and oestrogen - or just confused.... or it's a load of crap and the length of your fingers means nothing

Nope, my ring finer and index finger are the same length

oh sorry

Hmm Amber, I think that was the only think I didn't have tested earlier this month. Did you dr give you any other useful info???

hehe no probs about the thread jack! i love it!!!! its great hearing everyones views!

my middle finger is WAY! longer than my index i have always been a tomboy (and i only have 1 sister and mainly raised by just my mum) im great at maths and am pretty hands on!!

Yeah iv definately heard about the more stressed you are and also the more manly and physical your daily duties are then the higher your testosterone!!

im all good with the high test. but im not at all happy with the extra hair growth and i usually have a very femine soft face but my features have really hardened lately

Jess - im pretty sure im not pregnant because i have been charting for a while and i wouldv thought that it would show up like ferns on microscope, higher temp etc but nothing and also i think (i dunno, just assuming) that it wouldv shown up in my hormone levels that the doc did in my bloods??...would be a lovely shock though thanks for explaining the provera too Jess because now i know why my temp has hiked up lately! lol

So after reading all your replies i feel tonnes better about the provera because you have all said that you have finished the course of drugs and then a few days later Af arrived-- well i still have 2 tablets to take so there is still hope!!!!! YAY!!!

Thats good you can see a gyne and sort out AF. I can swap you can have mine i'm sure she is about the arrive
