Zepbound has made my jawline hair almost a non-factor…

Holy shit. If someone has already said this I’m sorry, but I really wanted to reach out to my PCOS girlies and share my news.

The very first month of Zepbound I lost 15lbs on the lowest dose (2.5) my starting weight was 236 and while my exercise has never been the best, I was pretty good about my diet and reaching the minimum (30 active minutes a day)

The second month in I’m wondering if PCOS is nearly single handedly responsible for so many of my problems.

The hair id get on my jaw that used to give me a 5 o’clock shadow after I’ve shaved in the morning doesn’t grow in until the next morning… at that, it grows in less thick and more sparse. WTF. Even the hair on my legs grows in slower.

I feel like crying both out of joy and frustration. My first gyno said I didn’t have PCOS, the second said I did but there was nothing she could do to help me (I even specifically asked about metformin and other solutions for unwanted hair) and she said no.

To think negligence kept me from changing my life pains me. Reducing something that’s plagued me from age 13 has been so unexpected and feels even more amazing than my weight loss. I’m happy in my body no matter my size, but I’ve spent so much of my life pouring over what I could do to fix my symptoms. How much money would I have to spend for something that might not work? Do I even have PCOS? Is it even that big of a deal?

I hope GLP-1’s get approved for PCOS. I believe in y’all. You are seen, you are heard, and your problems are real.
