Are there any other girls out there who suffer with polycystic ovaries? It makes my testosterone a little too high, and although I'm on a med for it, my body hair still grows fast. I'm VERY self conscious, especially because I get hair on my chin and a little on my upper lip. I wax, but it seems to grow fast anyway. As for my legs, I don't even bother wearing shorts because it seems when I shave it just gets stubbly very quick. Would waxing alleviate this? Is there anyone out there who knows my pain? =P

Btw, the medication I was put on is called Metformin. I don't have diabetes, but the specialist said that this is used to treat both diabetes and polycystic ovaries.

I also have PCOS and it is so very annoying. I have some hair on my face that drives me crazy. I had it waxed once and I think it grew back worse. I don't wear shorts either only if I shave right before I wear them. I am also self conscious.

Yeah, been there. Gets better with age (goes away with peri-menopause). Learned some tricks though. Both polycystic ovary disease and high testosterone may be due to high insulin production - the precursor for diabetes, hypoglycemia, and heart trouble. I was hypoglycemic with polycystic ovaries and high testosterone before switching to diabetes.
Check out the symptoms page on www.hufa.org to see if you have symptoms that may be hypoglycemia. For the polycystic ovaries, I would take red raspberry capsules the week before ovulating and the week after - red raspberry tea is supposed to be good for this too - to keep the cysts from either forming, or getting too hard or something.

An old coworker of mine had this.
I would definitly go with waxing on the legs, Too bad lazer isn't proven perminant yet.
If you can afford it, get electrolysis on the face. (only proven perminant removal) It will help your self esteme so much.
In the meanwhile buy that lotion that is suppose to help hair grow in more thin and fine and use it all over.
I had a friend who was XXY (extra chromosome: girls are XX, boys are XY), she had to shave her chest, if you need that I would wax there too. Unless it is just a few hairs, then have that electolysis too.
Good Luck

it extremely is a extensive generalization you have made there Fred, despite the fact that it extremely is an exciting question. do no longer ignore that there wasn't between the apostles who replaced right into a reliable Christian guy whilst they began to stick to Jesus. They changed their behaviour to stick to interior the techniques of their new chief by utilising decision, yet no person ever variations what they are actual. church homes are no longer homes for the saints, yet fairly a wellness center for sinners. i do no longer believe there is ever a individual who's basically too effective. i think of everybody has their darkish facet. Any guy I rather have ever met who seems effective, relatively Christian adult males, have a fault someplace, and it extremely is continuously scarier than what the undesirable boys blatantly positioned accessible. oftentimes, it extremely is a "skill and administration" concern. it extremely is plenty greater reliable to believe a woman is being harm by utilising a "effective guy" than a woman who's being harm by utilising a "undesirable boy". And vice-versa. there are various single women accessible finding for a effective guy. So why are they nonetheless finding? Why have not the effective adult males observed those reliable women? i assume I rather have various techniques in this subject rely, and no person likes to examine essays at here. i do no longer think of the reliable individual/undesirable individual concern is extremely as sparkling as some could desire to think of it extremely is.

Consider electrolysis for your facial areas.
When you wax, your hair grows in slower and not as stubby.
