Excessive Body Hair. Any Pill To Balance Hormones?

Hi, I m an 18 year old girl and I have alot of hair covering my body. On my back, chest , stomach , toes and arms. I ve heard that this could mean I have too many male hormones. I ve tried shaving, waxing, plucking, creams, and just about everything out there other then laser hair removal (I m only 18 and can t afford it) I m going to the doctor to talk about it, is there any kind of pill that can help balance my hormones and get the hair under control?
