Hi,

I am 31 years of age and have been suffering from excessive hair growth since I was a child. I am very prone to putting on weight and need to control my weight a lot. My eating habits are very healthy with fruits, veg and I eat normal. I exercise and do Yoga, but my weight is still 69kg at a height f 5'5" (165cm). Tests show that everything is normal apart from low Iron levels and very high DHEA levels, which I guess are the male hormones. My nutritionist is suggesting I consult a Gyneclogist and get some ultrasound tests done to check for polycystic ovaries. I really am getting depressed about my weight which should be 10kg less and my hair growth. I have been asked to take Diane 30 I think to control weight and to reduce my hair growth. Is that safe? If I get married this year and I am still taking these tablets, that will prevent me from conceiving too, right? Is there any medication that will help me reduce my weight, normalize my hair growth and still make me be able to conceive? Please advise. Thanks. Regards
