Can't tell.: Info provided is too vague. Symptoms sound typical for thyroid disease but if thyroid levels are normal that is not likely the problem. Not sure what hormones are high. "female hormones" vary monthly and with pregnancy. Pregnancy could also cause your symptoms. There are other uncommon causes of your symptoms - endo will them well.

One possibility: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is a hormonal imbalance which causes a number of symptoms similar to the ones you describe.Women with pcos can have high levels of testosterone.Symptoms can vary but the most common ones are: weight gain, hair loss, increased body or facial hair, irregular periods. Insulin resistance is at the root of the problem and needs to be addressed. Talk to your doctor.
