hi !i just found this post. i also have PCOS ,try neurafen extra , it has codeine in it too but works for me.I used to have Distalgesic from the docs but you cant get that anymore. I was treated with something called Dianette and that seemed to sort things out and i went on to have 2 kids naturally, also,boring but true ,exercise helps! hope this has been of some use to you!

When on it do you have to shave/trim more often

pcos gives you a hormone inbalance, so hair grows more quickly than women who dont have it, shaving my legs is a nightmare, i always have plenty of immac at the ready....now shut up
