S/C/G: 189/186.8/160 (restart)

Height: 5'5"

Default The Higher BMI, the higher hirsutism (unwanted hair)

I found this link on PCOS and unwanted hair: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21909749

It's a study that shows that if your BMI is higher, you're more likely to have hirsutism.

In other words, there is hope if you lower your BMI that it will make the unwanted hair really go away, rather than any other symptom of PCOS!

GREAT.... lol.

I can safely say with all the weight I've lost my hair issue seems to be pretty much the same (maybe slightly better)

I too wax and pluck my chin area- I have one of those epilators each sunday to get all the hairs- it's so frustrating!
