Aspen78

I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for a year now. About 3-4 months into taking it my facial hair started coming in slower, and the hairs were not as hard. I've been on it a year and now the hair on my chin is coming in as fast as it did before the pills. If I remove one the next day it's coming back already. Also, they are very hard again like they were before I started taking the pill. I don't see any new spots growing hair. My weight/diet did not change and all of my hormones were normal before starting OTC but I still had numerous symptoms of pcos. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong?

I went to and RE who said that Ortho Tri Cyclen might contribute to hair growth. I used to take it and he told me that, and then switched me to Yasmin.

Wow. I've never heard that, I thought by trapping the testosterone it could only make hair grow less. Probably does for some not all. In my situation the OTC worked well for 8 months and now seems to have stopped, so I'm not sure what to try especially with perfectly normal hormone levels.
