Have been on HRT for 2 1/2 months and starting to notice changes and loving it. I have read and heard conflicting information about some body hair loss. I am most curious about chest hair and what some of you are experiencing. Will it stop growing or go away. My facial hair has slowed down and has softened a lot. Arm hair has become a lot less coarse or more fem.

It faded quite a lot over time and now there are like 2 or 3 tiny hairs left on my chest. I come from a pretty hairy family and I'm quite satisfied with hrt's results so far. My arm hair is there but it's nowhere near as dense prehrt. Depending on your genetics you might see a drastic change but either way given enough time on hrt all of your hair will become like a cis woman's body hair. Now that varies obviously from person to person but having estrogen as your main hormone definitely weakens most of your hair if not all
I hit the 3 month mark myself in 6 days.
I'm surprised at how much has changed, in general. As far as hair goes though, my facial hair has thinned out quite a lot. I'm almost back to peach fuzz on my upper lip, somehow. Same for everything but my neck, pretty much. Before HRT I thought I'd be able to do laser treatments, but now all my facial hair is getting too light.
Chest hair seemed like it'd be resistant to change at first, but now it's thinned out quite a lot and is also growing much more slowly. At first, there'd be a ton of growth the next day. Now it's several days, between chest shaves, instead of every day. Getting closer to one shave a week.
Arm and leg hair has thinned out as well. All body hair is growing more slowly, as well. Most of the areas are not gone completely, they have just thinned out a good deal and slowed in growth, as well as lightening in shade. I'm hopeful that most of my body hair might just go away, or at least turn platinum blonde or clear, if my current rate of hair feminization continues.
I feel like I'm having good luck with hair, mainly because I only have been growing chest and facial hair that required regular shaving for 1.5-3 years before I started HRT.
