Typical pattern of body hair loss?

[loulou]

After some months of being on HRT I've noticed that I'm starting to loose hair from my hands?  Is there a usual pattern for hair loss?  Am I going to start noticing this going up my arms or will the hair on my arms thin out.
For the record I only have body hair on my arms a small patch of hair from my belly button down and some nipple hair.

Personally, I don't know.

But there was a research paper showing the effects of hormones on hairs (both ways) and it shows that the mtf group usually (very much mostly) still were above the hirsutism mark even 2 years after hormones with no much change beyond the first 4 months.

But in the first four months the change could have been dramatic dropping from a score of 20 or so to about 11 (7+ = you have hirsutism so not all that positive still).

But of the group 2 people had below 7 mark so hope for the best! it might be up to many different factors too.

As for the pattern of loss, I am guessing hairs will diminish slowly everywhere so where it's thicker it might look as if not much happens and with time it will slowly look cleaner.

My endo said that thin hairs will go first. I imagine each successive round of hair growth gets thinned without the effects of testosterone.

I'm gonna get some elctro on my chest. That has improved a lot in 3 months, but I don't see it going completely.

I think I would go crazy if I had chest hair... leg hair is bad enough!  I can't wait for the hand hair to go away... I've been plucking it for months, so gross.

I quite like my arm hair. I actaully think a bit of fine soft body hair on a girl is really attractive. But then I'm weird like that.

I have a little on my nuckles but that is all blond now. I also have a little on top of my hand, particulalry on the little finger side, but my skin is dark enough it does not really show.

Yeah, chest hair sucks, hairy breasts are not my idea of a good time.

You're not the only one. As long as it is light and fine I think it looks nice.
