Suspecting high androgen level

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

I am a 27 years old female. I took unwanted 72 on 20 Nov,2016, 6 Dec,2016 and 22 Feb,2017. I have now noticed that the hair density has decreased extremely on the sides as well as on the back portion of my head. I am a constant sufferer of acne so I cannot tell whether their frequency has increased or not. Can you please advice me that can I be having a possibility of hyperandrogenism due to taking emergency contraceptive pills so frequently. Thanks
