Hi sweetie!
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2003. I have never been on Met but I have been on Spyrolactone. I have been told by 3 doctors that the facial hair will never completely go awy unless I laser it. there is no combination at this time of meds that will make it go away. Even diet and execersize will make it go completely away.
That being said, I have lost 50 pounds since then and I am finding that although the thicker patches of hair are still there, the thinner patches are thinning. That leads me to believe that it will thin out. Until I can afford to do the laser treatments, plucking every day will have to do it!
