Default Which BCPs helped you the most?

With hair growth?

I have a lot of extra, unwanted hair, and I was just wondering which has helped you the most?

Edit: Also, I haven't had my period since like I was 14, I'm 16 now, when I have my first cycle, how heavy do you think it will be?

Thanks!

Hey I totally feel you with the hair thing! I have hair both cuz of PCOS and because of genetics. . I just got fed up and got laser hair removal done over the summer and I must say that it's brilliant.. My BCP (Ocella) did help me lighten my hair, but it works really slowly...As for you other question, I was 15 when my periods stopped (I am 20 now) and then came back at around late 16 with help of metformin... it is not like you are going to have a super heavy bleed, but what might happen are really bad cramps! you ovaries were shut for 2 years and your body was not expelling the eggs, and so doing this, even with outside help, might be a little painful in the begininning. But it will settle down eventually and you will be fine!

Diane-35 helped me the most.

I wouldn't worry too much about your first period on a BCP. My doc has always said to give it 3 months for your body to settle down onto a BCP so your first period may be nothing like what they will be like in the long-term (while on that particular pill).
