Yes everyone has hair in these areas,but some of us with PCOS have excessive hair in these areas and it grows back very quickly and thick.Thats why it is a problem for some. > >2) Once we "cysters" get pregnant, do we have to stop taking Met and >Spiro? I assume so, since I can't imagine that anyone can take any meds >while pregnant. You shouldnt take spiro while pregnant because it is a teratogen meaning it causes birth defects and is a catagory C medication (it causes feminization of male genatalia or androginism).Metformin is a catagory B medication meaning they have not done enough testing in humans to know if it causes borth defects or not.It has however been linked to neural tube defects because it absorbes a lot of folic acid.Which you need to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida.Taking 800 mcg of folic acid a day can help combat against this while you are on metformin.You should be taking at least 400mcg of folic acid a day anyway if you are of child bearing age as recommended by the March of Dimes even if you are not on any medications.I hope this helps with your questions,Dona > >THANKS!!! > >-- >Randi > Next message: angela: "Ovarian drilling best option??"
