Pcos

Hi I've got pcos and only found out about 6 years ago when I couldn't conceive and underwent fertility treatment to have my two daughters. I'm now 32 and feel very blessed two have two beautiful healthy children. I'm just getting a bit down about my PCOS and the weight gain and excess hair especially. I am still breastfeeding so don't want to take any meds ATM. Does laser treatment work to get rid of hair permanently or at least lessen it? I am getting very down about it all and just hate it! I'm so self conscious and have been since a girl. Would it be worthwhile in buying my own laser gun to DYI or is it a waste of $$. We just can't afford to have ongoing laser treatments. I hate feeling like this! Will it get worse when I get older? Please help me:(

Hey Soph,

Girl!! I completely understand the hair its the worst! I suffered with it so badly as well. I would recommend AGAINST buying your own laser removal sometimes even the ones salons have end up giving people really sever burns. Its not a good idea unless you're trained in beauty and have a proper machine you can do some serious serious damage.

I would recommend threading if you've never tried it I've found it works way better than waxing and stops the hair from growing back as fast and its cheap! around $15 Australian dollars per session.

Though when you're ready to take medication again, obviously the pill should help with the hair growing and see if your doctor will prescribe you duramine for me I find it hard to loose weight but the duramine stops me from putting any on
