I absolutely loathe my hair/body hair since meno - got the full works going on.
It's a full time job keeping all of it under control - hairy toes, ugh, hairy ankles, ugh (ankles also morphing into "cankles" now, thickening up), shockingly my OH made a joke about my hairy ankles which sent me reeling - nip hairs that often are ingrowing, black hairs on chin (often they suddenly grow overnight) and some on upper lip BUT conversely - thanks so much for this Mother Nature - sparse patchy pubic hair that annoyingly now grows down the bikini line much further, sparse eyebrows and lashes, hair loss on top of head and at sides. Have had thyroid checked, results "normal". hmmm.
All this must be down to hormone imbalance and circulating DHT, don't get it though as my T levels are practically zero.
Gradually bit by bit, the places where you don't want hair, it appears - and vice versa.
Maybe would have expected some of this in late 60s, but not at 50.
Will never get over the shock of what Mother Nature can do - added to the long list of meno symptoms, the total hair change really p's me off. None of this cr'p gets better with time.
I've bought a 15 x magnifying mirror to use when plucking chin, lip. Quite scary looking in it though!
