I was on Estelle-35 which I believe is the equivalent here in NZ. While I didn't notice any reduction, when I changed to another BCP I realised that it seemed to slow down hair growth and I am plucking more frequently now.

I've noticed a decrease in hair growth, although it took ages to see a difference. Possibly 4 or 5 months.
