Topic: RE: One word: Epilator.

I have a little hand held called Emjoi Tweeze. It's an "as seen on TV" product. It works pretty good. But man does it fricken hurt! How much did this epilator cost you? That one has to hurt equally I'm guessing!

Topic: One word: Epilator.

Okay ladies...we all know one of the awful embarrassing and really ahrd to remove/keep up with problems with pcos is...facial hair. I have some on my chin and little bit of a side burn. Weather you have a little or a lot....this thing works I wish I knew about this years ago. THE EPILATOR. It works so good. Its a nifty little machine and it had about 50 mini tweezers on it and it looks like an electric razor but its not.....it tweezes the hairs out from the root and it works so good!!! Your skin will be smooth and nothing will grow back for about 2 weeks! It way better than wax because i know when i would wax it wouldnt get everything and you can only wax over the same area one or 2 times before you get a rash. Also with wax you have to wait for the hair to grow back to a noticable state before you can wax it off..this thing gets hairs that r reeeally short!

Oh this thing is the sh*t. I jsut thought I would let anyone in on it that doesnt know about it. that is all :)

Topic: Birth control absorption and PCOS

I had my surgery 01/10. Before surgery I did not get a period without horomones (not the pill) for 10 years. 2 weeks after surgery all this weird bleeding started. Went to dr, and got an ultrasound. My PCOS did not go away. He put me on the pill. I continued to bleed for months. He changed the pill, I continued to bleed. He doubled the pill, bleeding stopped. Insurance will not cover 2 pills per day. I went back to 1 pill after dr told me too. Started bleeding. Took a medication to stop bleeding, it didn't work. Back to two pills a day. Wondering where our BC pills are absorbed in our bodies.
Anyone know. I am on Sesonique.

Me too. My only regret over the RNY surgery was that I didn't do it A LOT SOONER.

YES!!! It will make a HUGE difference in the scale if it is the right dosage. If your body isn't processing the insulin correctly, you are gaining wait for no reason.
