HRT and Head hair

[Joan]

Only one month on oestrogen an progesterone, but I'm getting hair growth in places where sunblock has been necessary for a while.

On the downside I'm also more hairs floating around the bath and around the mirror where I blow dry my hair than before Has anybody else noticed this?

Uh - Yeah but I'm just older than dirt and it's somewhat expected for me, I think we all experience a certain attrition rate though. Are you taking vitamins? I think we get a bit deficient and am taking women's pure pack three times a week as a supplement.

As hair gets longer, you will notice more hairs that fall out because they are longer and more obvious. Also, with any change, hormonal, there might be a temporary shedding but rest assured that with HRT, you will not lose hair, on the contrary you will gain and it will become thicker, grow faster long-term. Thanks to reduced androgen and increased estrogen. But, if you don't take enough estrogen to replace androgen, you might get more brittle, thinner hair, in other words, unhealthy.

FP, I don't think male pattern baldness is something you'll ever need to be worried about

Shantel, I hadn't thought about vitamins, although now you mention it I remember reading that somewhere.  I eat a pretty healthy, balanced diet from  all food groups and I've never taken vitamins. Maybe I should look into some supplements.

And thank you for the reassurance, KayXo.  I'm certainly hoping that is going to be the case.  I think my oestrogen dose is kind of 'normal'.  The endo certainly thinks it should be enough to force down the testosterone without using any AAs.  I guess we'll now at the next blood test

This is all very good news. I'm concerned about being able to pass. Having a bald spot wouldn't help me with the passing!

I'm also wondering if starting it later in life might have lesser affects as well.
