necnill asked:
Removing facial hair. What’re people’s favourite ways to do it? When there was less of it I used to tweeze, but it’s all over the shop now. I’ve tried Nair a few times, but that always seems to just take off patches. I’m tempted to just shave, but I was wondering if any lovely ladies had any advice or insights on removal in general?

Anonymous asked: hi! I just want to ask if is it safe to wax/remove unwanted hair on breast especially those surrounding the nipples? I have hair all over my body but I'm not sure if I can do the same removal to the hair on my breasts, they're so long. Will bcp help with losing the unwanted hair like they will just fall out eventually or you really have to remove it? If you have any suggestions please...

midnightbluebelle asked: Oh, the advice thing - that wasn't aimed at you guys but my family, family friends and neighbours. They think that just because I'm fat, I'm some food-stuffing slob or something. That's what infuriates me the most (also the 'why'). Grrr. You guys are all bloody awesome, and if I liked hugs or people invading my personal space, I'd give you all a massive cuddle....

annamadridista asked: To the anon suffering from hair loss, my hair is now so thin you can easily feel my scalp through it and I've currently got 4 bald patches around my hairline. I've got a docs appointment next week because although I haven't been officially diagnosed with PCOS, i have all the symptoms so I can't offer you help in the way of meds but I've been reading that Saw Palmetto...

midnightbluebelle asked: I've been reading the asks/responses, and to be honest, I'm at the end of my tether now. PCOS just seems to be a hormonal problem that offers you a whole load of crap after crap and I may punch someone. Seriously, this shit is fucking annoying. If it's not the symptoms that affect you, then it's one of the many ignorant shit-bags out there that interfere with you with their...

necnill asked: To the anon with hair loss: I'm 20 with bald patches too. xD Just gotta rock them for now. Anyway, I've heard that shampooing thoroughly is good, as it gets rid of the testosterone biproduct at the folicle level that causes hair loss. That was never enough for me though. See your doctor, as I'm under the impression there are prescription shampoos that work better. Birth...

Anonymous asked: Hi from a fellow PCOSer. I was wondering if either you or your followers could offer me some advice. I'm having such a crappy time dealing with pcos symptoms, specifically hair loss. The hair loss is the worst at the moment. I've been thinning considerably for years now, to the point where my part is thin and you can see my scalp. But in the last couple of weeks I seem to have a heavier...

Wednesday OurPCOS Weekly!
Hope you ladies are having an amazing week! <3
Hey y’all :) Hope you guys have been having a great week! Each and every one of you is an inspiration to me and I’m so thankful for this community. This week I had no trouble choosing what topic I wanted to discuss. Over the past couple of days, I was seeing a lot of posts in the PCOS tag about how people hated their bodies, thought they were...
A word of advice!
Love the blog and would just like to suggest something for people who, like me, get a mid morning/afternoon/evening sugar-craving, which has been my downfall for a long time!
Chocolate Weetabix is ideal for those moments where you really really need something naughty to nibble on. It isn’t the ideal snack, but when sugar cravings are too much, one crushed into some greek yog or with...

Tuesday OurPCOS Weekly
I wrote this on my personal PCOS blog a week ago, but I wanted to share it here with everyone as well because it’s something I am highly considering and just want to get others insight as well. I’ve added a bit more to this after rereading, along with a post I made soon after I posted this on my blog. So here is Tuesday’s OurPCOS Weekly!

Question: What is the Classic Triad of PCOS? Answer: The classic triad of PCOS refers to a cluster of symptoms that are extremely common in women with the syndrome. These three symptoms are hirsutism, anovulation, and obesity. This basically means that researchers and physicians have observed these three symptoms as being the most frequently seen in women with PCOS. It does not mean that just...

Anonymous asked: I want to share this with someone, and no one understands like someone with PCOS would. I have been working out, eating healthier and taking my metphormine as I am supposed to & after just a month of doing everything 'right' I STARTED MY PERIOD... this is a big deal because its my first one in 2 years with medicine to induce it :D

brightprospects asked: To the person with the partner suffering with depression: Exercising and eating well will put her MASSIVELY in the right direction. I understand it is so sooooo hard to even get out of bed when you are experiencing pcos related depression, but just helping her get out and about will make such a big difference. Faking being happy and having energy is the first step, then it'll come naturally....
