Look on livingsocial and groupon for laser hair removal treatments if it doesn't go away. But I can tell you that my dr said the weight will affect my hormonal variations and it may slow the growth, but it won't take it away. Note: if you choose laser hair removal, let it grow in a bit to reduce the number or visits you have to go for. Usually three should take it away for at least a couple of years I am told by a friend who has a lot of facial hair because of her ethnicity. I have yet to try it but she is a pro and I have never seen a hair on her! So I'd take the advice. good luck!

Ok' date=' this seems like the place to bring up this question. So, my fellow PCOSers.... after not having a period for 7 months, and now losing 42 pounds, I'm having the period from hell. I sorta expected it, but wowwie, is it heavy. I'm not sure when I should be alarmed. I'm on day 2 of the worry flow. Last year, my Ob-gyn gave me a pill to induce my period because I had a thick build up in my uterine wall from not properly cycling... so, I know thats whats happening. Its just concerning.... and uncomfortable. Anyone else deal with something similar?[/quote']

It took more than one year after surgery for the periods to be regular....but every month they are kinda different...some times they are so heavy they last up to 4-6 weeks and some times they just disappear on third day...my doctor says it will take a while to get adjusted...so keep your fingers crossed! You won't need any pill to induce periods after losing around 100 lbs...I m off all the medicines now.

I'm 20 months out with PCOS and for a while things were great but now I'm back to missing cycles. I start fertility treatments soon. Still have problems with hair, but my dr told me that there was a medication I could take if I wanted to. All other issues I had with PCOS are gone though which is awesome.

Come to think of it, my doc told me that there's a Water pill that has the convenient side effect that it slows Hair growth in odd places like the face. Might be something to look into.

That pill is probably aldactone (spironolactone). It is a diuretic. I was on it for acne and facial hair. It helped clear up the acne, but I still have the facial hair. I stopped taking it prior to surgery, and I never restarted.
