Title: Rapid and early reduction in bodyhair growth
Post by: Nikki_Hants on December 23, 2012, 02:55:35 AM
Hey all,
So i've been on E and Spiro for 3 weeks. I've done heaps of research and I've not been expecting any changes yet.

However,

I have noticed that the growth rate of my chest and leg hair has already slowed dramatically.I was shaving those areas almost every other day, every 3rd day at a push. Now I'm at just under once a week.

Has anyone else had this happen so quickly?

Fingers crossed it bodes well for the rest of my transition ;D

Welcome to Susan's Nikki

That progress sounds good as body hair growth is reduced by HRT. From what other say changes on E happen faster than you would expect. Breast growth should be already underway.
I'm not on HRT yet but have attacked my hair with laser and I have not had to shave it since the sessions 2 months ago. Hurts a bit though but worth it. ;D

How about tell us about yourself in the intro page when you get a chance.

We don't bite much except for Cindy so watch her. ;D

Enjoy posting and asking questions as well as joining in the fun.

Jen.

This happened to me quite quickly as well. I noticed smoother skin and body hair reduction within the first week.

I'm just 3 months in now and almost all my course hair is gone and my chest hair is almost completely gone except a couple small patches.

So it works that quickly!?  Yay!  I am excited, I am 22 and I get my referral to the endo in 2 weeks.  I have soft, but dark hair growing on my tummy and some on my chest.

Just recently started spiro and I can't wait to see these changes as well.
