No to Dianette and Laser

I had a consultation at a salon which does laser hair removal and was told that because Dianette makes my skin photosensitive I would have to stop taking it in order to under go treatment (otherwise I risk burning my skin). However from what I have been told I gather that laser hair removal would not be very effective on someone with PCOS because the effect of the hormones would see the hair return very quickly, so I would need to do something to control my hormones, say by taking Dianette.

Its a vicious circle.

As is the weight issue. I really need to lose at least another 2 stone but my weight loss has ground to a halt, possibly due to PCOS. And yet I need to lose weight to improve my PCOS symptoms. This is a joke.

I am going back to a strict diet (which I had originally stopped for fear of becoming very flabby and losing my breasts) to see if I can lose another 3-4 pounds. This includes 50g Muesli + skimmed milk and a black coffee for breakfast. Half a tin of tuna and a salad (tomato/lettuce/cucumber/seeds/pepper/radish etc) with no dressing or mayo for lunch. A tin/packet uber low fat soup for dinner. Snacks are only fruit (no bananas) and raw veg. Lots of water and green/peppermint tea.

I will also make sure I do the exercise video 4 times a week and run 3 times.

Feeling pretty depressed right now so I need to see some results.
