I can't believe I'm asking this, so I am probably going to jinx myself. Have any of you pcos girls noticed reduced/slowed hair growth during pregnancy? The hair on my legs seems to grow considerably slower and the awful facial hairs I get seemed to be less almost none existant. I thought during pregnancy that it would get worse, but I'm kinda digging this right now. Are my girlie pregnancy hormones kicking pcos a** right now?

Actually, yes! My legs and underarm hair seems to grow much slower. As for the pesky hairs on my face (which are partially PCOS and partially thanks to my Italian heritage), those are about the same.
Now that I've been off the metformin for an entire week, my hair is falling out less. In the last week, it seems to be in the normal range of shedding. I'm hoping maybe it stops shedding altogether and I get the beautiful pregnancy hair I've heard about, but I kind of doubt it!
