Body hair and hormones

[Gemma S]

What is the best way to get rid of my body hairs and when is the best time for takeing hormones 

[LordKAT]

Ways to get rid of hair vary and the best varies also. Cost , pain threshold, efficiency are all priority factors which only you can decide. Laser is painful, electro and laser costs money, other methods are not permanent or semi permanent.

Best time to take hormones is after talking to your prescribing doc.

Best time to take hormones is . . .

"pre-puberty" thus avoiding most hair growth problems to begin with (not to mention other things). The term "hormones" is a bit of a misnomer in the sense that HRT describes better the course of action many young newbies may find themselves in . . . Hummm, as far as "after talking to your prescribing doc" is concerned you have a inherent right to self-determine your own future so don't let anyone try to tell or scare you otherwise . . .

Failing that? Totally convinced "Spironolactone (Aldactone)" helps and met an excellent electrologist in the Atlanta area (review only) this morning a close friend of mine has been seeing for a short while now. lol Very surprised when at first she thought I was friend's "wife" and later referred to as "Kiera" as I hardly ever dress "obviously feminine" but rather prefer "androgynous" instead.

Will place in Susan's wiki links!

I still think talking to a prescribing doc is best time. I figure they are the ones who would have best info on hormones and what they can or can't do as well as possible side effects. You decide after that.

I figure they are the ones who would have best info on hormones . . .

lol perfect case in point! And what makes ya think "prescribing docs" won't try to scare ya too or even that they 'ave any "info" or experience at all? LordKAT, I've grown very weary of general members feeling the need to reinforce & promote the "official line" that is otherwise clearly espoused here at Susans, wouldn't you think Gemma S could have assumed that already and is probably new here to get more straightforward, helpful and immediate answers instead?

You "figure"?

[LordKAT]

They may try and scare ya as you say. My opinion remains the same. It has nothing to do with it being "feeling the need to reinforce & promote the "official line" that is otherwise clearly espoused here at Susans,".

There is no need to be rude because of my or anyone elses opinion.

I don' t think she would have asked if she didn't want any input from anyone except you or people who think as you do. She could have assumed that, she may not have.

i lost just about all my hair on my chest and my stomach with the hormones , but if you are ready for hormones you need to find a doc and to it the right way
