Hi there
PCOD is one of the most common gynaecological problems so do not feel alone. Your BMI(Body Mass Index) is around 21 which is well within normal range. However , apart from being slim , the main objective would be to have a regular normal cycle. The contraceptive pills may help in doing this which in turn will help with the facial hair issue. Try to eat healthy and maintain a good blood glucose level. If you do smoke you should stop.
