i have some hair on my chin, cheeks, and neck, but so far its such that shaving can completely take care of it. should i continue to shave or will that make it courser? how many people actually have stubble that you can see even right after you shave?

i'm 19, i've had facial hair for about a year, starting directly after i went off the pill (also acne). i dont know if i have PCOS or not since i only have a few of the symptoms. i'm hoping the pill will take care of the hair and the acne. i just got back on the pill almost a month ago and am waiting to see the result after 3 months.

i have heard that 5-10% of women have PCOS, but i can only think of like twice in my life that i have seen women with visible stubble. i guess some women with PCOS do not suffer from excess hair growth at all. but still. it doesnt seem to be that common. all my anxiety comes from the fear that there will be visible stubble -- if it stays just the way it is now, i will never complain about anything again.

please help me, i am trying really hard to keep from getting too worked up about this, but it seems to be dominating my life! i've been having trouble sleeping ever since this happened. i know i need to talk to the doctor about it but i'm scared.
