Hormone Effects

So, I suffer from excessive body hair. ( darn my irish and polish roots) Ive heard that hormones will remove body hair ( not facial hair sadly). I have also heard that it wont. So i figure someone here might have the experiance to tell me which is true.

P.S Sorry to the board mods for my excessive posting. I finally got off my lazy bum and came in here *giggles*

it depends on your genetics. in most probability, it will. Generally, women have less body hair than men. But there are some women who have more body hair than some men. (Especially in the case of arm hair.) Hormones will just change your body hair to whatever it would have been if you were born with female parts.

Sorry, but for all thing hormone related the answer is:

YMMV (your mileager may vary)

Most people see some improvement at least.

I love that saying YMMV but its completely true were all different :P I am nearly a full B cup and Im not even on HRT yet and some people can be on HRT for 2 years and not get any breast growth I guess its the same with all the affects of HRT it varies from person to person.

Hormones can help hair, I know from personal experience. Over time they can lighten the color and make it grow slower.

I am very glad that this came up because it was a question I wondered about myself. I start HRT in May, as soon as I graduate college, and I have a horrible amount of chest hair and body hair. I'm already getting laser hair removal for my face but I am nervous that hormones won't do the trick. Here's to hoping and thanks for posting this!

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
