Something Weird...or Maybe It's Nothing?

[Guest My_Genesis]

So for anyone who doesn't know I'm not taking T. Last night in the mirror I saw two hairs under my chin. I don't know if it means anything or if it's something some biological females have anyway...but then I also started thinking about how where sideburns would be I kinda have "fuzziness." That I've had for awhile; I noticed it maybe a year or two ago, maybe even longer. But the two hairs on my chin I just noticed yesterday. Is this unusual? I know a lot of women get that when they're older but I don't know much about people who are my age. lol

its normal, not all will grow hair, its mainly to do with genetics or u may have a high level of T in you blood already

Not knowing your exact age and family history (genetics, ethnic background, etc.) I can't be sure, but only two hairs -probably very coarse and dark - is normal for women. And so are peach fuzz sideburns for some.

Sorry, I know how we all fawned over Evan's chin.

But you have to get onto your T before you can hope to catch up, besides some of us girls like 'clean shaven' men just as much!

Give it time - I didn't get facial hair until I was almost 20 (now I wish I never had).

Love ya,

yep, that's normal. but also your natural T levels may be increasing on their own. I've heard of guys whose bodies become more masculine once they start to live their life.

[Guest My_Genesis]

Yeah I've been wanting to get my T levels tested.

Gotta wait until break's over and I'm back in school so I can bring it up with my therapist.

Definately get your natural T levels checked. I dunno what your age is but if its at least 25 they could fluctuate a bit on their own. I actually suspect I was perimenapausal at 27 judging by the nightsweats. And there have been folks who were at that age even if professionals hate to have to go admit it. I also had those same two hairs for like ....well, till I started T actually.....and even if yours aren't about to become a full beard they may very well indicate that once you do start T you'll have an easier time. Who knows. And, like Ben mentioned, some guys saw an upswing on natural T when they lived male (maybe thats why I had the two hairs and nightsweats?).

I had fuzzy sideburn areas and a couple of hairs on my chin since my late teens and my T-levels were totally normal (like 44 mg/dL) for a female. so maybe it's just genetics... but I don't know if my sisters got any of that. I'll have to ask them when I see them next week.

I'm your age or a year older. Its not always due to Testosterone levels, but rather hair growth pattern levels as well as later teen fluctuations (not just T or E) in the body. However, T levels can also contribute, but they're often not the main reason. Two hairs and some side burn fuzz is pretty normal. My mother's really hirsute (lots of body hair), my father has barely any, I got more of a mix of the two and had two hairs which would routinely grow back longer than the others a few inches below the chin area. The hairs suddenly appeared maybe two years ago. I also had (long before T) some 'almost sideburn' growth while still having a somewhat androgynous/feminine face. Also, because I wore my hair medium length, the side lengths showed (if I lifted them) that I had a slightly more masculine pattern of hair there at the sides of my face which had a little fuzz close to where sideburns would be.

In my case, the hair and the fuzz was pretty much due to a hair growth pattern thing more than anything.

Most biofemaless get at least one or two random hairs in odd places. Most girls....pluck them out!! And most would never admit that they are actually there at all. I remember going into the locker room at school (I went to an art school, so I was in the locker room usually 4-6 times a day) and everyone was in the mirror plucking random eyebrows or chin hairs. One girl had a full belly of hair.

I'd say you're pretty normal! But use that mental power to get a goatee!
