I went to my dr abt one yr ago complaining of heavy periods. So heavy such that I can't go out for abt 2 days. He did an ultrasound and said I hv a fibroid. Then prescribed Avien (some low dose birth control pill) which I've been taking for the last 6 months. It has helped alot with the bleeding. But then I also noticed that I am much hairy'er on my chin and neck. I guess this is a symptom of PCOS? Anyway, the excessive facial hair was making me embarrassed to go out. Someone on another forum recommended that I use a facial hair remover product called Epicare which I bought from http://www.facialhairthreading.com This Epicare is like a mass tweezer and removes hair from the roots. It does not use any batteries and is very easy and safe to use. I know many of us women out there have to combat with facial hair. And I have found this to be a life saver for me!! So, I thought I'll pass the word on.
