Sorry you are having such a hard time. The reason for the hair loss is that along with the other spmptoms of PCOS, some women experience an increase in testosterone. (yes, women have testosterone) Our levels are generally a fraction of a man's, but if it increases close enough to a man's lower levels, it can cause increased facial hair and a form of "male patterned baldness". That's why he's sending you to the endo.

My testosterone levels shot up in the early years of my PCOS, and I ended up losing a fair amount of hair. No bald patches or anything that drastic, but my hair did thin out quite a bit. Over the years, my testosterone dropped back to normal levels and I had slight regrowth. It's possible they may have something now to help with that. (I was diagnosed 20 years ago when hardly anyone knew about PCOS)

I wouldn't panic. Seeing the endo is a good thing. They are the ones who specialize in hormones.

You may have to use the Provera on and off long term for to help regulate your cycle. It doesn't always work permenantly.

Best of luck to you and don't worry about seeing the endo. They can more than likely help. cmpgirl
