Title: Body hair
Post by: Katia on August 28, 2017, 09:46:28 AM

Has anyone noticed this has increased on HRT?  I'm having to shave my legs a lot more since starting HRT and my pubic hair has thickened. Would this be too much progesterone?  The hair on my scalp has shedded more.

What HRT are you using Katia? The androgenic progestogens (testosterone derived) can cause this - listed here: https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/perimeno.php
