It's a bit weird to come out and say hey I have excess hair. I do and I was at sams club one day and I came over to my parents and was like can I buy this it was razors but it was for men. I had people looking at me like I was crazy. I have facial hair. my brother is jealous of my beard lol but I try my hardest to shave it and put make up on. I cut myself and people know what it's from and makes fun of me. I'm scared to have a boyfriend because I have it the worst on my buns. I have hair badly.
I Want to stop hiding and free myself frm my insecurites i to have hair on my face chest stomach. i hate the summer kant feel comfortable with shorts let alone a swimsuit. i envy people that dnt have to think twice to wake up and just wear what ever i have to check if i have tyme to shave ect. thank u for shareing made me feel so much better
Since you're living in Germany now I would seriously think about taking diane 35 or androcur. It has helped me so much and I can strongly recommend those medical pills.
Wow! You have a lot of courage and I admire you so much. I did grow facial hair as well since I suffer from pco syndrom. I am currently taking the minerva birth control pill (genericum of diane 35) and androcur 10 (antiandrogens) and I had 2 ipl treatments 16 months ago and my facial hair is completely gone!!! as well as my acne!! I am very happy with the result. I still grow body hear on my legs, stomach and breasts but it's a lot less than it used to be.
you're very vry lucky to have your husband. Most men can be complete and utter jerks when it comes to this. Sometimes you can't believe people can be that cruel.
@basamente back before I met my husband I was very embarrassed by the excess hair and didn't like anyone to touch my face- the guys that I dated would make a comment or other people would and it killed me I wanted nothing more than to hide under a rock! Not everyone is cruel, unfortunately you really have to dig deep to fine truly genuine people.
@basamente shes not lucky to have her husband.. that's actually a horrible way to think about it. Actually, I have PCOS too and have more than ist facial hair and I've had this for quiet some time and my current boyfriend and previous relationships as well as my male friend all acept it. I actually think more guy accept it more than you think. Adult men btw, not teenaged boys
@basamente My husband always knew, he played along to make me feel better but one day he told me that he loved me for my PCOS- that I am the most caring, humble person, that having PCOS gives me an overwhelming advantage to "normal" women for it- I will still be the same beautiful person even when I wrinkle and my beard turn gray :P We have to learn 2 b comforable with ourselves b4 ne 1 else can be
@JanaesPCOS - Hey! Don't feel bad! I have excessive hair too! You're not alone, you're so sweet don't be sad about it! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you for the video! xxxx
You have major guts and I totally admire your for doing this. I have PCOS too, have had it since I was 16 and the facial hair started in my early twenties. I am so insecure and hate the way I look because of the facial hair and your video has really helped me to know I'm not alone and it's normal to feel this was but should really try and deal. Thanks, great video and you are a beautiful woman. :-)
Thank you for making this video. You are very courageous and show a lot of sincerity as a person who has PCOS. I have PCOS as well and know of the exact feelings that you have about your husband. I share that as well. It is not easy to deal with. We are sbjected to a lot of REMARKS just because we have this condition. I thank you for being one of the very few people who are advicating PCOS.
i also hav a thick hirsuitim. i think hirsutism has made us quite a sensitive, empathic and BEAUTIFUL person. Did nt it. ? i also think in some way like this gurl in the video. i wud say u r nt alone. there r many grls like u around. and i became a great fan of u after watching video. u knw, i think such kinda deformities are a test fr special ppl like us frm God. not everyone cud feel the way we can.thums up fr u
You are a beautiful person and well on your way to a more confident and happier life.
I just wanted to pass on a bit of wisdom that has helped me get through my insecurities (we all have them).
Most people are too much into their own worlds to care or even see what's going on with you. In other words, in your mind everyone can tell you shave your face but the reality is 99% can't and the 1% doesn't even care.
Be easy on your sister, she's probably envious of you.
thank you so much for sharing this. stupid as this is, it made me cry =/
i self diagnosed myself with PCOS and this is something i've been hiding since i was about 12. I have been shaving my whole entire body (front/back) from the collar down since then, and it has always been one of my greatest insecurities. anyways my point is i thought i was alone and to know im not and to see how you handle it, touched me. i want to be like that..thank you for this, really. i dont feel as bad now...
im 17 and i also have pcos and hirsutisim, and i am going through the same things as you, im so envious of my sister because i know i will never be hairless or look like her and therfore never be feminine. i wear a tshirt to the beach because my stomach is covered in hair. you are seriously an insperation to me because you can sit there and talk about your problems with hirsutism and hopefully someday i can accept myself more like you!
im also on a prescription called Sprionolactone which is MUCH more affordable, like $10 bucks a month and is covered by insurance because it can also be used as a medication for high blood pressure. the Spiro helped cut down on the hair growth on the rest of my body. it has not taken in away completely, but it has helped make it much more managable. i am thinking about upping my dosage again as the effects are dependent on the amount you take. if you havent already tried it you should talk to
how much this cream has helped my self esteem. i dont know if Vaniqa is within your budget or not and stupid insurance companies dont cover it because hirsutism treatments like this are considered "cosmetic" which is completely ridiculous. but if it is within your budget you sould talk to your gyno about it because it truly changed me life. you are a beautiful, down to earth, sweet girl and i hope it can help you like it helped me :)
i also have PCOS. i was diagnosed at 13 and am now 21. the hirsutism side effects is also my greatest insecurity and i was teased about it as well through 8th grade. i started using a skin cream called Vaniqa. i applied it to my face where the hair grows twice a day and in about 6 months my facial hair was completely gone. i is truly a miracle cream. it is expensive - $80 per tube, each tube lasting about 3 weeks, and you will have to use it for the rest of your life but i cannot stress enough
I just wanted to tell you that you are very beautiful and that, i love women with hair everywhere and am a perfectly normal military guy. So don’t be jealous of women without hair, because i wouldn’t think there are as pretty as someone like you who has “hair everyone”, this to me is the essence of true beauty, and you have it. p.s., there are many millions more guys who think like i do. :)

Thank you so much. I started growing facial hair after the birth of my son. For the past twelve years it has been getting thinker. The women in my family do Not have any facial hair and not always have haven it myself when they see me I get that look. I don't shave yet. I diligently pluck everyday at the dining table on purpose so that to my children and husband see it. So it has become a normal and acceptable part of life and for them to appreciate my efforts. I used
im 17 and ive had this since i was about 11 too. at first the hair grew slowly but it began to grow faster and faster. ive been told its weight related and have since lost a stone and 3 pounds. it DEFINETLY does affect hair growth. thnx for posting this video. feels great to know im not alone. i shave every day but i can sometimes skip and look alright. im too embarassed to keep the hair on my chin and i am super hairy :(
Thank you so much for adding this video. I often feel like I am the only female with facial hair. I thought I was doing good covering the bumps from saving, until my ex friend teased me about them, now I'm back to trying to feel ok with myself again.. I have yet to be diagnosed with PCOS but I am 99% sure I have it. Thank you for being so strong.
Thankyou for posting this. I thought I was alone and I feel a bit better knowing that i'm not and that im not the only one who feels this way. I haven't been diagnosed yet but im pretty sutlre I have it. Thanx again
You are gorgeous. Don't say that you are not. I also have to shave my face and its embarrasing. I don't have pcos (at least it has not been diagnosed yet) Its not fun
@taetwa I know I am pretty- I am self confident up the wazoo I know who I am. It was just the fact that my peers took my one 'flaw' something I was born with and made it into some horrible thing. When it's not-it sucks-lifes not over This made me a stronger& better person- I do not tease people over an affliction. I hate ignorance & I know many women w/ PCOS r not confident because all they face r ignorant mean people. I know my future family may have PCOS that motivates me 2 spread awareness
You're the sweetest, homie. And.. yeah, I have to shave too. At least I can try to have a banging goatee - how many girls get to have that much fun? xD Yeah. It's a tough one. You handle it beautifully. Thanks for making this video.
@Spikeygal I don't think any women who has excess hair wouldn't feel so embarressed by it if it weren't for at least one ignorant person to make an a**hole remarks about it. People I went to school with NEVER saw the hair on my face NEVER but since I did not lie about having PCOS & sharing what symptoms I have- they took my ONE little 'flaw', that I was BORN WITH- to hurt my feelings-I know I wasn't alone my mom had it- it wasn't until I met jealous ignorant peers did I ever feel ashamed forit
