Unfortunately, I don't have control over my hormones, which is why I'm currently still taking the laser treatments. For me, losing weight is the best solution. I'm extremely overweight; losing weight should reduce the hair-growing hormone level, and therefore slow the hair growth.

People experience different PCOS symptoms and what solutions work for one person don't work for another (I wish there was a cookie-cutter recipe!). You should definitely bring up the issue at your next Drs visit to see what they advise or possibly prescribe. Don't let any embarrassment stop you from finding a possible solution.
