AboutChristy Morgan Expertise I can answer questions about current medical and non medical treatments for PCOS. I can also explain what you might expect when you see a Reproductive Endocrinologist and advise on what questions you might ask your Dr. I cannot diagnose or suggest specific treatments for you, I am not a Dr.
Experience I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1997 and have heavily researched treatment options and am currently using an experimental treatment thru my endocrinologists office.

Answer Ammy-
Have you ever been tested for insulin resistence? Is the medication Vaniqa available in the country you reside in? It may be a good choice for you if tried it after having laser treatment. More info is available at vaniqa.com
I do not know what insurance companies cover hair removal- if any. Spironolactone is an oral medication that is supposed to also help with unwanted hair growth- and both of these medications require a prescription from a Dr. My advice to you is to find a Dr who is willing to work with you and answer all your questions and help find something that will work for you. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to find the right Dr, but it will be well worth it when you do.
