Sorry girls just needed to get that off my chest!!! I think im having a day
Well, it may get worse. For me it did. Those fine hairs on my chin/neck turned BLACK and COARSE. And it sucks. I am now getting laser hair removal and am very happy. Just realize, your chin hairs aren't the end of the world! Are you being treated for your PCOS?

I'm on Spironolactone. My hair is annoying but manageable, but I still just want to work on preventing it before it gets worse. Are you being treated? Have you talked to a doctor?

i know how annoying the hair is!! Mines been better since being on the spiro. But you cant take spiro if ttc as it does something to the baby. Sorry. all the best for your dr appointment

First of all, we know what it feels like -- been there and got the t-shirt. None of us wanted facial hair, but sadly hair growth doesn't respect what we'd like. Yes, it's embarrassing and do, none of us wanted to have to shave. But unless hormones are in the normal female range -- and sometimes even when they are -- moustache and beard growth can happen to a woman in a similar manner to what it happens to a guy, though it's not likely to be as heavy.
However, the good news, as someone else has pointed out, is that it's not the end of the world, though it seems like that at first. For me it takes less than a minute of time in the day -- far less time than it takes to brush my teeth, and for me the secret is a top quality Norelco men's-type rechargeable electric razor. Other people have different answers to the problem which suit them better. The fact that I shave my moustache and beard has never turned off my husband and I think you'll find that a lot of us on this board can say the same about our husbands/boyfriends. Don't let beard growth spoil your life or even dominate it.
at the moment i am not on anything to treat it, but we are looking at ttc, could i take spiro, i am seeing my doc on thursday, i am really worried
You can NOT take spiro while TTC. It causes birth defects in boy babies.

i just shave every day in the shower and my GF dont mind it one bit like i thought she would.. she has the understanding the pcos is causeing it and right now we dont have the money for the lazer hair removal
Thankyou girls, i spose u just have to deal with it... thanx for listening to my little rant!! i sometimes get in moods because i really dont understand what will happen to me, spose im just scared...
i had just a mustache at age 10 around age 13 14 i noticed that there was a patch just under my bottom lip that was darker, i also had very dark side burns, i bleached these, it didnt change for years until i hit around 20 then i gained weight with no real reason, since 20 it has got worse it started to get fine darker hairs on chin this changed to thick dark hairs and under my jaw i bleached, the hair grew long and fine but i am sure if i didnt bleach it then it would be dark.
You can live with and deal with it if it gets worse, i bleach and trim when it gets too bad or i start to feel self counscious i eplilate under my jaw and pluck any dark hairs that dont bleach off my chin. my problem when i remove the hair completley is that most ppl have some hair....and i feel self conscious about having none, so i let it grow and bleach it until it gets to a level that is getting to much and the process starts again.
I have accepted it, i personaly didnt like shaving it irritated my skin and it felt rough but i am now noticing the hair on my cheeks getting longer and more downy and some of it is getting that fine dark look, so i may not have a choice soon and may need to wax/shave.
I have started using vaniqa, and been put on spiro so hoping that this will atleast stop things getting worse.
its a difficult one but hair is getting worse on other parts of my body although i accept this and can hide it, my dh loves me loads and tells me how lovely and sexy i am so i still feel confident in myself and i think having this confidence helps alot.....although when i asked him what he would think if i stopped bleaching trimming epilating etc ....he said he had no idea....but then neither do i, for now i am happy with my methods it can be dealt with, unfortunatly if its going to get worse then there is not much we can do apart from some anti androgen treatement and hair removal of some sort. Sending you (((Hugs))) i remember feeling how you are now, but now i am used to it.
