Hi Hannah

I live in the north west of England and have only just discovered this site. I have been coping with PCOS since I was 13 years old. I too am married (I am 32 years old) and have been taking Dianette on and off for 13 years. It does reduce the hair but you are always left with that bit that holds on for dear life!

My advice is STICK ON THE DIANETTE. The times I came off it, mainly when I was having fertility treatment, I gained 4 stone (I am around 6 stone overweight) and became very hairy. Thank goodness I am back on the tablets because, contary to what the Doctors expect, I definitely know that I loose weight when on Dianette.

Best of Luck !!
