PCO?: Hello Judith,
Many ladies note hair growth in unwanted places such as you describe. A young woman who is having unprotected intercourse 3-4x/week, with regular menses and with a fertile male should expect to have conceived with in a year and certainly 2. 95% of the time this happens. I would recommend consulting a Gynecologist to evaluate possible PCO or other causes of infertility.
