a word of encouragemnt. i have bad hair issues too. the aldactone keeps new hair from coming on, and it has lightened the hair on my stomach and chest a lot. It also has lightened the hair on my face. i also use vaniqa cream on my face which keeps the hair from growing fast. i used to have to take care of the hair everyother day, if that long. now i wait 6 or 7 weeks to do anything to the hair on my face. granted, i have been on aldactone for a year. yasmin is not enough alone to make it bettter but it does keep it from getting worse. i am currently on 75mg of aldactone and on yasmin. i was in a state of despair when this first happened to me, i have PCOS too, but now after finding the right kinds of products and getting help from good doctors, i feel very satisfied and secure. Vaniqa is a miracle for us women with hair on our faces. it seriously changed my life. i feel much more confident and normal now. hope this helps!
