I've been diagnosed but dont have the money for the serious meds that can stop hair growth. I have problems with it on my chin and breast (the ones i'm most worried about) i wax and bleach my chin, but what can i use that is safe and will last to remove hair on my chest? any herbal remidies? My boyfriend and I are getting serious and marriage talk and these are things i can't hide. any suggestions would help.

Even if you remove the hair, at some point he is going to notice. If you haven't talked to him about it, you might want to. Just sit him down and explain what is going on. I know I was a nervous wreck when I told my DF, but he said he already knew and he thought I was beautiful and it didn't matter to him. I have started taking Saw Palmetto and it seems to slow the hair growth. I think unwanted hair is the worst symptom of PCOS, at least for me it is. I wish you the best of luck.

There is a cream that you can use on your face called Vaniqua, (has to be prescribed) that slows hair growth. You have to keep doing the same things you already do to make the hair go away, but it slows down the process.
I have started doing laser hair removal treatments for my arms and they can do these for other parts of your body, so you can ask about those too.
Good luck!
