confused
Question:
Hey everyone! This is hard for me to write.Im a 17yr old girl, who has always had very dark hair on my legs and arms, which,I have always been selfconcious about, but knew I could get over it. But now, over the last year, I have noticed I have hair on my chest (not just nipples, all over), abdomen, thighs, basically all over my body. I also have irregular periods, and sort of thinning hair. I had a blood test, and it came back normal.My doctor doesnt think there is anything wrong since I am young, and not slim(not overly).BUT i havent told her about the excess hair because I am too embarrassed. I havent told my mum either because of this. I know about laser hair removal,as I am currently having it done on my upper lip.This costs a lot, and takes time, which I havent got much of as I want to go to Uni in a year.argh, this is the time when I am meant to be having heaps of fun (and want to be) but this is lowering my selfconfidence. Also if I do have PCOS it has to be checked out straight away for health reasons doesnt it…Has anyone got any advice for me, or how you have/do cope with excess hair, and if you have got rid of it how? Also if you could just provide support, or advice on my situation. Thanks everyone

Push for more testing. I had to. You should have an estrogen, progesterone, total and free testosterone, fasting insulin, and fasting glucose. Luckily my hair is fairly kight. I just pluck on my face and shave or use Nair other places.
