HRT effect on body hair

[justme19]

Hey!
I was just wonder what effect's does HRT have body hair?
Will it thin out Leg and and make it a clear colour again?
I have quite hairy legs and stomech? Is it going to much?
I know the effect is different on different people but in your personal experience I would like to know thanks =)

In a word yes. Based on TWO sets of direct experience.

I didn't have much body hair anyway - but that which I had disappeared entirely pretty quickly - took less than 2 years.

My partner (also longterm postop) had loads of still fairly thick body hair (which she used to wax) when we first met. By the time she was 5 years postop it too had pretty well all gone.

I'm only 3 and abit months I was extremely hairy it was all over my chest and also covered my shoulders upper arms and abit of my back. It was really worried about my body hair as an problem for my self-image.

It's mostly fallen out or I've epilated it out and when it grows back it's been progressively finer each time eventually becoming blonde then just remaining tiny peach fuzz.

When I epilated them out I can tell which ones won't grow back because the root looks all strange it's white instead of black and much closer to the surface.

Oddly I also noticed that huge chunks of my facial hair have fallen out and it's not due to the laser. This is apparently a rare benefit.
But it used to be full beard pattern and was really high on my cheeks aswell but since starting HRT it's vanished from my cheeks sideburns most of my upper lip, Chin and just today I noticed it's thinning significantly down my neck under my chin. Leaving me with only abit left right of my chin and my neck. + Stragglers in the other areas.

I was what we can consider very hairy.

After 6 months of HRT alot of my hair was thinning. There was still signifcant amount of hair, but id say about 20%.

I currently wax my body so i dont really notice, but Id say after 2 years, 50% thinned out.

I was pretty hairy when I began, but now at 2 years HRT and 5 months Post-Orchie it has thinned out and lighten considerably.  My arms are the only ones that are now a worry because they are still dark.

I still shave but not as often.

If you would like to cause your body hair to reduce the speed at which it grows I would sugest Spearmint.
I drink a quart of strong Spearmint tea daily. It has a chemical in it that acts like an anti androgen on your bodies hair folicles. As this is basicaly a primative form of HRT it is a complete mile may vary situation.
I have been on HRT for 6 months and I noticed a little bit of change in hair. But within a week of using the stuff I noticed a serious diferance. Before the tea my legs would get prickly in hours after shaving, now I can go days and the touch up is fast and easy. I have also noticed a lot of diferance on my happy trail and arms also.
I am not making this up, Spearmint has been an old wives remedy for hirsuteism in women for centuries. Like I said earlier, it is basicaly low tech HRT so YMMV.
But what if it fails? Big deal you have spent the time daily to drink a pot of tea. Sounds like a good risk.
It must be Spearmint, no other mint has the active chemical. Also the quality of the mint will be a big factor in its efficacy. I sugest getting bulk from a local herbalist if you can not grow it in your garden.

I have started on it myself.  Just not in large quantities.

I have never had much facial hair, but god saw fit to make up for that by giving me an extremely hairy bottom, all the way in, if you know what I mean.

Since HRT, it takes forever for the hair on my torso, chest, stomach etc to grow back, to the point where I only need to shave those areas like once a month or something. I had random straggler hairs growing from the back of my neck, and the back of my arms, which I pulled out at the beginning of HRT, and they have not grown back. I epliate my legs, arms and body, but the hairs on my arms and legs tend to grow back rather quickly, albeit slightly thinner.

As for my bottom, I envision Brazilian laser is in my future, let's put it that way! Not nice to have a prickly butt lol

Oh, I have been a bit over 11 months of HRT.
