Can you please describe your hair issues? We can help figure out the best alternatives. Taking this powerful drug is not an alternative to hair removal.

Sure,why not? I have a lot of coarse hair on my arms and legs reaching up to my lower back(embarrassed) , finer but dark hair on my tummy,and I have huge sideburns, with soft but dark hair on my face too,not that noticable but there still. I have gotten blood tests but they all came back "normal" I guess, because my doc never called me back about them. I can't even be sure if it is a medical problem or if it's just bad genes. I read a statistic that said every 1 in 30 people have idiopathic hirsutism/full on hirsutism. That's what gave me the gutz to see my doc but now i feel like nothing has changed,it really sucks.I don't know what to do so that's why I posted stuff here, I've been reading these forums for awhile,now,so I decided maybe I could get help too.

I wouldn't depend on your doctor calling you back. Some people slip through the cracks, so, do the follow up for yourself. Make another appointment and ask for copies of your lab work. You need to make a plan and drive toward your hair removal goals. Many people are depressed about too much hair, so talking about being goal-oriented may not resonate loudly enough. For many, just knowing that they are devising a strategy to get rid of the hair, based on good information,of course, is enough to lift them out of the depression. So post away and we will try to be your new best friends to get you going somewhere meaningful.

Thabk you SOO much!
I'll definitely ask my doctor for copies of the lab work, and ask for a refferal to a specialist but that might take some time. I'll let you know what happens:)
Thanks again. I feel better already, the last few days i've been pretty depressed about it but thanks to your post it as lifted

and sorry for the spelling errors I get lazy and don't double check what i'm writing often enough.

If I were you, I would find an endocrinologist doctor whose main expertise is with PCOS and hormonal issues. Unfortunately, most doctors are not educated enough about all the nuances to be able to diagnose you properly. We've had many people on this forum only find out about an issue after they've checked with a second or third specialist they saw. If you want to be sure, get tested by someone who is an expert in this particular field.

Thank you lagirl:)
Should I just request my doctor to refer me to a specialist in that field, would that be enough,or should I look for one myself?

It depends on your insurance. If you have HMO, you'll need to be referred by your doctor (though you can search for a specialist that accepts your insurance on your own anyway first). If you have PPO, you can go to anyone. I would recommend to do some research on best endocrinologists in your area that specialize in these issues.

I'm assuming you're in the US btw. You should add location to your profile.

Sorry, forgot that I had a profile...I live in Canada,in B.C.
"The best place on earth" apparently...makes me wonder why we're having a health crisis right now...

an alternative to spiro is cyproterone acetate which is up to 10 times stronger. I use that in combo with ethinyl estradiol
