I freakin' hate these dark stiff hairs I get on my chin!!!! I am 22 why do I get these stupid things! I had them in highschool too. Whenever I see or FEEL one coming I PLUCK them right then and there. They are soooooooo annoying.:grouphug:

Please tell me I am not the only female with this problem:blushing:...especially considering I'm a blonde, why do I get these brownish/blackish stiff things.:confused2::behindsofa:

I haven't been tested for it yet, because they told me my periods were just from my weight but I dunno, I might get tested soon. Will have to bring it up. How do they test for it

Usually with just a bloodtest to see your estrogen/hormone levels and an ultrasound of your ovaries to see if you have a bunch of little cysts on them. Nothing really invasive at all. I would definitely at least bring it up with your GYN, since it couldn't hurt to find out. And if that is indeed the case, they might be able to treat you with the metformin, and it could help you with advancing the weight loss.

I also know that for me, personally, it helped knowing that it wasn't all 'in my head, kwim?

Good luck!

LOL LOL if only it was that easy lol lol:lol:

Since, we've sort of ventured off topic to font size, I'll put in my two cents..lol I just copied and pasted your first post, froggi (that's the only one that came across incredibly small for me, and it's Garamond size 1. It's also a light gray color which, when tiny, makes it harder to see.

Now, here's my wish: I WISH IT WERE THAT EASY TO BECOME A SIZE ONE!! JUST HIT A BUTTON AND SWOOSH!! :thumbup:

i wouldnt wanna be a size 1 o.o ewwies lol

I have a horrible issue with facial hair, I'm a strawberry blonde and some of the hairs grow in blackish, lol. I have them on my chin and neck and even a few by my ears (side burn area). I pluck, shave (if in a hurry) and occasionally wax...but it's mostly plucking.

One of the "rewards" I'm giving myself after I get my band and lose my first 50lbs is having laser treatment...I've only had this issue since I've been obese.
