Title: HRT and body hair regrowth
Post by: Badga on July 14, 2013, 06:42:22 AM

Hi guys

Having been on combined HRT now for just over 3 months, I have notice that my body hair (under arms, legs, and pubic region), has started to come back.

Not a biggie, as it is east to add lady razors to my shopping list again, but I am curious to hear of other ladies' experiences on here.

Hi Patty

Estradot and Utrogestan.  Have always had thick, dark hair (used to have to bleach my moustache and shave my big toes!), so it was a bonus when my body hair all but disappeared after menopause.  However, what has grown back is tolerable and, I suppose, is a sign that the hormones are working.

Apart from ankle swelling, I do feel like a new woman on HRT and am so grateful to be rid of the 15 or so a day, hot flushes.

Hair grows like wildfire on HRT, my nails too.

Chest hair Taz......How where why ?

Being dark I have always been hairy and apart from the bald patch....and I don't mean on my head  ;D my hair growth has never changed.

I have seen so many chin hairs though which is less than funny.

Breast hairs rather than chest hairs. They are like chin hairs which have migrated!  Very annoying...

Not nipple hair then.

I haul them out otherwise I would look really strange.....I have had these hairs for years so it's not a meno thing.

They started off as nipple hairs but now tend to pop up much further over the breast. They are a pain and they take a while to get rid of.
