So, I was expecting my body hair to soften and hopefully thin out upon starting HRT.

Well recently I've noticed the hair on my stomach/abdomen is suddenly thickening?! I have always been perfectly smooth in that area (pre-HRT)!

My T levels are at 0 according to my last blood results... so does estrogen cause hair to thicken in places? I really didn't expect this. Someone please tell me it's a temporary thing.

A T level of zero really needs some attention - it's way too low. Mind you, your doc should have picked up on that.

I found that in order to have my body hair revert to female normal, I had to wax it all a couple of times..

No, expect on the scalp. What hormones/drugs are you taking, please don't mention doses. What exactly is your T level, please indicate units (ng/dl, ng/ml, nmol/L).

It may be an illusion.  I thought the same thing.  I just assumed it was my hair getting darker and skin a bit softer.
