I have tried everything under the sun apart from getting it all ripped out and the jab and nothing helped. I pluck my hairs weekly now :( ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

For me it got worse with each pregnancy. I have to use facial hair cream removal every 2 days. I am just waiting for the time that Andrew weans ( I am doing extended bf however) and then I am going for laser treatment.
There apparently is a drug for the hair but is very expensive and only marginally helps. It sucks right? I am just really lucky that I have a man that loves me even though I am a grizzly hairy bear. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I've found nothing has worked for me... hair growth is worse than ever... used to get waxed 6 weekly but over the last year it has to be 3 weekly can sometimes stretch it to 4.... it sucks!!!
I pluck the odd one if it has to be done on the inbetween weeks.. ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |

Ya gotta love them aye! 
Oh yeah, I was talking to the lady who did my waxing last week and she was talking about a laser treatment that she's just started doing at her new clinic and said that it's worked great on the woman she's done it on who have PCOS... is a bit costly but she reckons I'd need 4 or 5 treatments and then would only have to pluck the odd hair every now and then compared to what I have to deal with now.... can't remember the name, will text her and find out! Am considering starting it in July when I have to go to that city frequently for dress fittings etc. ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |

I have noticed that the hairs on my legs and arms are growing very fast now. I was waxing every 6 weeks, now I have to wax every 3-4 weeks but I am lazy over winter and will stretch it out to 6 weeks again. I too am lucky he doesn't mind about the hair. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
