Bobbi

I have wondered this too. Someone I know has recently gone through all this M2F change stuff, and I have to say that I am jealous, he has less body hair than me! His beard has to be kept under control through electrolysis and even after several years of him being on the drugs - occasionally you can see a five o clock shadow! Not good for any woman!!! When I looked into this it was something like Jodi said to do with the hormones not being the be all and end all, and there are other factors too. I cannot remember why we can't take the same drug, but I remember that it could do more harm than good - maybe I'm wrong, it was quite a while ago.

For me the excess hair is one of the worst things about PCOS. I am so conscious about it. I want that miracle cure along with the next sufferer. Never give up hope!
