Hi Tara, I am so sorry your going through this!Have you tried talking to your doctor about switching to Glucophage XR? I understand that it dosent have as severe side affects that regular glucophage has.Just a thought. I am glad to hear that BCP help you..I myself can not take them because they do make me sick.But please don't hate yourself! It's not your fault you have PCOS..it's not any one of our faults!And know what hon?..I bet they don't see your facial hair because there looking beyond that to your inward bauty!Majority of people I know didnt even know that my hair was so bad that I had to do laser tx. ...my best friend said she would have never known I needed it if I hadnt of told her...then she got up really close to me to look...and said..oh ya there is some hair (smile),but she wouldn't have noticed otherwise.If people truely like you and love you they don't care about that stuff...and if they do care about a little razor stubble..there not worth being friends with!love,Dona
