Title: Anyone else looking like an extra from Planet of the apes!?
Post by: Turkish delight on April 01, 2019, 03:25:36 PM: Hi team!

I'm on bhrt, Oestrogel 1 pump daily and Utrogestan 100mgx14.

I apply the Oestrogel to my inner thigh which is now looking quite like a hairy bikers leg.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm the love child of Sasquatch and king kong at this point >:D (I know they're both male, stranger things have happened though)

I'm not worried really tbh, otherwise I wouldn't start taking Testogel in a month too. Plus on the upside, if I get hairier I can run away with the circus and perform as the bearded lady, wink!

Just curious to see if anyone else has noticed some hirsuteness of Oestrogel application site?

Peace out!

Lack of hormones does cause extra hairiness I think in some (think about your great auntie...you know the one that grew a beard!), but to be honest I would never think it could be as bad as you are suggesting :) :-\ No hairiness either from my tostran gel either.

Personally don't think it's the hormones but someone like Hurdity or another lady more experienced than me might know TD.

It's also a no from me in respect of both Oestrogel and Testrogel application sites.
Sorry I don't know enough about hormones to give you any useful advice.

Well, it's entirely possible I'm imagining my thighs are hairier than they were before. As I say everything is possible in meno land.

Peace

Now in peri and getting furrier!!
Not sure if any HRT's make it worse or not- the only answer for me is electrolysis. Lazer never worked as I am quite fair and the hairs are either grey or blonde - typical that is for the face,
For the rest of my fur coat which is dark- typical ( legs, pits, pubes and anywhere else they dare to grow ) it's the strimmer! Lol- not really , I just wax it to death.

Being a natural blonde, I've always had â€˜fur' 🙀😂
I used to be embarrassed about it, but not anymore. Now I just use a strimmer, lawn mower,
Shears, and tons of hair remover cream....😂🤣😂x

I have fur on both cheeks, under my chin are black hairs and some stiff, wiry white ones which I deal with using tweezers. Upper lip has always been a problem :'( so that gets a hair removal occasionally as well as tweezed daily.

Plant of the Apes? I remember the film the 1st time round, now I think I would be in The Return Of ::)
