Uptick in hair growth. A reason for concern?

[DanaDane]

I've noticed in the past month or so that my face/chest/leg/underarm hair has been growing faster than usual.   I really can't tell you the type of hair but I noticed that it appears darker than it has been usually. 

My last labs in sept were T 9.2 and E 252.  We did change E brands, but they're the exact same.  Vivelle-Dot.  One was by Sandoz? and this one is purple and white and actually says Vivelle-Dot. 

Friday will be 7months.  I am not taking P but just Spiro and E patches.    Should I be worried about this slight change?

Have you been eating differently? Are you eating more protein, specifically organ meats?

Your T and E numbers look fine to me but I am not a doctor.

Hmm.  I know I have been eating like crap over the past month.  Maybe that has something to do with it.

Are you located in the northern hemisphere?

I know for me when winter is on it's way in my body hair seems to kick into a higher gear.  It's still nowhere near pre-HRT amounts but it does increase.

I had said something about it last time I got my eyebrows waxed to the lady who does mine and she said that happens to everyone this time of year. 

Just a guess but it could be nothing more than a change of the seasons....  🙂

Now THAT I never thought of..  Hmmmmm

I get more body hair growth in summer, something to do with increased sun exposure...on nail growth as well.
