Seeing a naturopathic MD will be worth every penny, even without insurance, because they specialize in balancing the hormone system with mostly changes in diet, no medication. You were lucky your doctor didn't prescribe it, because the health risks are actually very high. If you're in Canada, many doctors are naturopaths as well, much more than in the states, though depending on if you live in a more progessive area you can find them. Good luck.
