Anna, TX

Best type of laser for chin hair and best weight loss treatment? I have tried a normal laser and it didnt work and i have tried contrave and it worked but once you get off you can have weight gain. I am taking metformin and that helps.

Bridgend, UK

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Chelmsford, UK

Hi Girls
I thought i would download this app to finally get some advice/answers and reassurance.
