Trinity I am furious for you that your mum didn't help! No one should have to go through that.
Perfect example of what we ladies are afraid of... but you obviously handled it, and I'm glad your soon DH understands.

My grandma (who does NOT have PCOS) has a few chin hairs (she's 70 and has 7 children of her own). Her hairs were NEVER obvious in the past, until she was diagnosed with Alzheimers. My aunt or I remove them for her because she always did it for herself and would be MORTIFIED if it was really obvious.
I just came across this thread. And was reading what everyone was saying and then read what you had to say, And i think its amazingly sweet of you and your aunt to be removing them for her. I think that is just absolutely sweet. Btw i noticed, you're from Chicago(so am i), and are on the same meds as me. It would be nice to get to know you more, exchange emails? Or maybe even meet up? After getting to know each other a bit? I could always use a soulcycter........... Hope you dont mind me asking, if you do, just let me know???
I have tweezers stashed throughout the house. I think my husband would help keep my face less like asto-turf if something happened to me. The other day he was so sweet, he saw one that I missed, and he got the tweezers and said, be still, and got it for me. Used to be a time where that might have mortified me, now I just know he knows how much I try to keep hairless. No one else in my family knows about my battle of the hair.
Awww, im just absolutely touched, by reading your post. You have an adorable husband who loves you this much. You're a lucky woman. I know im no one to tell you all this, but cherish it and im sure you do. I wish i get a man like that, who understands all this that i go thru. And how much our hairs bother us and how we all PCOS cycters love to be hairless.
It makes me nervous too. It gets really bad when and if I meet a guy I'm afraid of him touching my face. It gets so embaressing. Or when someone looks closely at me I have really dark hair and the hairs are dark on my chest stomach and chin. I feel that people stare at the hairs on my face and my sideburns are really long.
I have the same sideburns prb, plus the whole hair on the face. I use to get my face waxed. Its helps a lot. Try thinking about getting your hair waxed. I have the same issues and it kills me. I go thru the same thoughts and feelings. And you know honestly sometimes it not as bad as we make it to be. But maybe waxing either yourself or getting it done might make you feel better.

I think beard growth bothers us far more than it troubles men that we have it. certainly if the husbands of many of us on this board are anything to go by, it doesn't upset them that their wife has the same sort of beard growth as is more common in men. As far as my dh is concerned, shaving together is something extra that we have in common that other couples don't -- something positive rather than something negative. And that helps me see things in a more positive light, too.
I'm so glad I read this thread today. I have anxiety going to the dentist and getting my hair shampood at the salon fearing what they will witness. I have had this fear for the last 5yrs. and have also hid the fact that I shave under my chin throughout the week. My DH of 3yrs. likes my "happy trial" (he didn't like it when I waxed there) but has no idea that I shave my beard area. I've always felt so gruesome since growing so much hair and no other friends/women in my family has PCOS. I'm not sure if my mom will understand (she's always been "beautiful").This post has really made me feel better and I think it's time to fess up to DH that I shave too.
i think about stuff like that all the time. (especially about the survivor thing!) i'm even worried about going to college because i'm scared that if i have a roommate that they're won't be a place for me to do my usual face-plucking routine. (i'm on the bcp femcon right now, i hope that works by the time college rolls around so i won't have to worry about this) i am so jealous of all the girls i know who always look so pretty because they spend the time i have to devote to my hair removal focusing on their hair and makeup and other stuff girls should be focusing on.
i was scared about it in college too. my best advice is to locate a reputable laser center (american laser center) near your college before you get there. sometimes my friends would wonder where i was going...i just said i had a dr's appointment. if they ask how come you go so much you can always say allergy shots or just that you dont want to talk about it. you'll seem mysterious instead of hairy. haha.
GREAT!! Thanks ladies!! I had not really thought about this before !!! Now I am gonna be a basket case for a couple of weeks!!! Oh the trouble we go through!!!
Haha! I was about to say the same thing while reading thread. It hadn't occurred to me. I guess I will have to discuss this with my husband and make sure he handles it if I am unable.
This has always been on my mind also. I can't leave the house without having either tweezers or a razor in my purse because as soon as I wake up I have regrowth on my face.
I once took a 12 hour straight flight and before I landed I had to shave my face because of all the hair.

Look around you at airports and you'll see that a lot of women in long-distance transit are in the same situation.
