denalisa 12 Posted May 15, 2012 PCOS is one of my major motivators too. I don't mind having little to no periods but I do mind my hairy chin. I'm lucky my little hairs are so light - I don't think people notice them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCatLady 130 Posted May 15, 2012 I had surgery April 16th, at which time I was kicked off my Spirnolactone (50mg BID!) for control of my hair growth...cause I grow a pretty nice beard/mustache combo. I will say, since surgery, I've only had to pluck a couple hairs. Which is a big change - in the past, if I missed just a couple days of Spirnolactone, I'd have long black hairs all over in just under a week! So it appears symptoms are already improving. Ask me again in a few months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyCox 245 Posted May 15, 2012 Spironolactone hasn't worked for me. It was supposed to help with the acne and hair growth. I think it is because my doc put me on 25mg QD, and she said that she wouldn't raise it because if 25mg a day didn't work then a higher dosage wouldn't work??? Errrrrrr.... Some of my hair is blonde, some dark, but very course. I can't stand the feel. I pluck daily. I think the acne is worse for me. I had such clear skin. Never had acne as a teen either. I'm glad to hear that surgery helped. I'm looking at June 22, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
