So, my endocrinology intake is swiftly approaching, in November. I’m excited and anxious. They would at least start me on testosterone blockers, right? Or is it more waiting?
I know I will still have to shave , until I have laser hair removal, but, will I be able to go longer than 10 hours without feeling stubble?
Will I be able to go more than one day without shaving my body hair without looking at my chest and arms in disgust?
I know YMMV, but I was just hoping things will start getting easier soon, like maintenance.
I’ve previously been curious about this, and I waded through a lot of reddit threads looking at all the anecdotal answers.
A pretty fair number of folk said they eventually saw a large reduction in body hair on the torso especially, but that it took 3-4 years.
You’ll also see a lot of folk on 2 years of HRT saying it gives only a little bit of reduction.
Hard to draw a strong conclusion here, but it seems hopeful! (I’m two years in and see some reduction, but I still have plenty of hair. Pretty sure it grows back much more slowly now, but since I didn’t shave my body pre-HRT it’s kind of hard to tell.)
