The Beggining...

Okay, what can I say. I have lived with the symptoms of PCOS for seven years before I knew it had a name. How I found out was I was working at a hospital in Daly City, and the physician assistant was looking at my chin...then she goes hmmm...im all like hmmmm? What you mean hmmm? And she just told me I have pcos. So bewteen patients, I sat down and researched it, and I was happy! Not happy that I have it, I just never thought to go to see the doctor for having a beard or an irregular period. I just accepted those symptoms as "normal". Now my beard is getting worst and it is really beggining to effect my life. I dont like to go out in the day time, I absolutely hate make-up, but I gotta wear it becuase I have man scars from shaving, and my overall confidence has gone down. Dont get me wrong Im sexy and thicker than a snickers bar out here, but when I look at my reflection, I dont see my face, I see a beard. Waxing dont help it would take waaayyy too long to pluck every single hair. I am at a loss. And on top of everything I am a smoker. And I read that smoking makes it worst. So...I would honestly appreciate some advice, tips help, testimonials anything.

i use to use laser hair treatment. its very pricey but it makes the skin softer. i have very coarse hair so the shaving only made it worst for me as well. The only thing about the laser hair removal u have to get it done every month. I think if i actively tried to lose weight my hair wouldnt have grown so quickly. The laser hair tech said i would only need about 8 cycle and the hair would stop but i need more thatn 8 cycles and the hair still grows back but its alot thinner. im going to start actively trying to lose weight and see if that helps. but it def makes the skin softer, lighter, and the hair less coarse. so i def think u should give it a try good luck!
