I'm on my six month mark as of three days ago on Spiro! Here are my current results/notes:
- The facial hair has not gone away. It has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER (i'm asian, so this is a totally big deal!!) the hair is very fine, and so easy to remove and it does not grow back in a manly, stubbly manner.
- Acne = gone. I get a pimple or two around my "period" but other than that, my skin is soooo clear and my scars are eliminated! :] i can finally wear make up and it looks flawless and beautiful, like it should.
- I say "period" because they are still just as non-existent - I get "periods" once a month but I'd say it is more of a spot bleeding than a period. It lasts no more than three days and it's super light. But I've always assumed it's because of my weight (or lack of)
- All of those side effects that you hear of, the fatigue, the peeing, all that, it really does go away after a couple weeks.
- Initial breakout: after my first month I had a huuuge breakout on my face that almost made me stop taking the medication - wait it out - it'll clear up. It was quite painful though.
all in all, very satisfied. TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT. And i know that it's going to keep on getting better, I'm only at the 6 months mark!
