Dealing with Excessive Hair Growth on My Face

Lately the hair growth on my face has been really bad and more than ever. I shave and the hair comes back the next day. I am currently using birth control that my endo prescribed me and it’s been months but it’s not working for me. I even did laser for years but the hair just keeps coming back and a lot quicker than before. Even when I get my eyebrows and upper lips done, the hair grows back so fast. I don’t know what to do anymore. Does anyone have any tips?

I don't have any advice for the hair growth, but I have e emotional advice. Usually, you may not have to shave Every. Day. Yes there will be stubble, but 99%time only you will notice that speckle of hair unless someone is within breathing distance of you. So don't but so much pressure or stress on yourself about the hair. Our bodies are beautiful and do wonderful things. Yes with PCOS it makes us women have more hair than we like, but most the time we make it out to be a WAY bigger deal and stressor than it needs to be. And the stress makes our hormones worse and so on and so on. Yes, still shave, but don't stress over it. You're still beautiful even with a extra bit of hair.
