At least the hair will be thinner and less visible. You are limited in terms of other medications you can use because you are TTC. If you need to temporarily remove hair, waxing works best. Lase removal is the only long-term/permanent solution I know of, but it is expensive and does leave some scarring. Give the Met a chance to work. Once the testosterone goes down you should see improvement. The met should decrease the testosterone in your body, which should help with unwanted hair.

But, it only works for re-growth. Example, if you have already tried to remove the hair by shaving, waxing, etc... I do not know of a product except for dipilitories that will remove hair. Again, once you have removed it you need to prevent it from growing back. You can try Vaniqa. It takes about 8 weeks to really show results but it works. Very expensive though about $80.00 for one month supply. I can recommend a topical cream that you can put on the hair. But, it only works for re-growth.

Also there is a new dermatology facial lotion that is supposed to be awesome too just don't know what its called. Try googling it! I was on Metformin not sure if it helped I can't remember to be honest because I got pregnant quickly and they weened me off! Good luck and best wishes!

Yesterday, I read an article that Spearmint tea can aid in preventing hirsutism (excessive hair growth). The tea helps to decrease male testosterone that PCOS sufferers have too much of due to a hormonal imbalance. I guess if you drink enough of it over time you will notice results. For a quick fix try waxing. It's quick and if you do it enough the hair grows back slower. I have PCOS as well.

Soulcysters probably has more information about what's worked for other women with PCOS-I have a relatively small hair issue, sorry I can't help more.

If anyone has had them removed, did PCOS stop? There is no cure of PCOS, there is ways to live with it. Beware that in does increase your chance of type 2 diabetes. 60% of people that have it, there over weight.
