Hello everyone I have PCOS and have been ttc for about a year and a half now. I am currently going to a RE and am taking metformin, actos, and this is my second month on Femara.
This has been in the back of my head ever since I have started ttc... The hair growth from PCOS is so embarrassing and I am wondering how I am going to deal with it. I will even be embarrassed to get an ultrasound once pregnant because I have been shaving my stomach (happy trail and around belly button) since I was about 16. I have thick coarse dark brown hair (almost black) and it is noticeable under the skin even when it is clean shaven. I have tried the epilator but I get ingrown hairs
I have also been concerned about staying in the hospital for any length of time and being able to shave/tweeze my chin. I'm not sure if OH has noticed or not, but he hasn't said anything. I have been hiding from him that I shave or tweeze my face every morning since we have been together!
I know this all sounds petty and I want a baby more than I worry about what other people think about me being hairy.
Has anyone else dealing with this or has dealt with this problem? Any pointers/suggestions/consolations?
