Hmmmm stubble's a bu**er...........isn't it? I just don't shave on the morning of my appointment, so there's not much growth to be seen. My electrologist also complains about the shortness of my facial hair, but I have appointments at work and so forth, that I have to attend on the previous day, & I don't want to do a convincing impersonation of the bearded woman ! I'm amazed at the quick progress that you seem to be having, I have been attending half hour sessions most weeks for over a year now, it seems to be a very gradual process, but it seems to be a lot less tougher than it used to be, and moustache has all but dissapeared..............double g, by the way LoL.

Good luck with the hormone tests.

Cheers,

Eve

I've been doing hour long sessions, that and the prior laser treatment might explain the difference.  For the next 2 weeks my schedule should allow for me to let it go a little longer before the sessions, so she should be happy with that    It's funny that it definitely does hurt, but I seemingly don't care - I've never once asked her to stop for a break, and I'm always disappointed when the session ends!  I don't think my pain tolerance is that high, on the other hand I have gotten 4 tattoos, so perhaps...

Christie, you sound like you are well on your way! I started HRT and feel much better, but it is an adjustment emotionally. If you have any questions or need anyone to talk to, just message me.

Even though there are a lot of similarities, all of our lives and stories are unique. Choose your path based on the best information available and have no regrets. You are "who you are" and are "where you are" for good reason.

Good to hear you are on your way to becoming who you are with the assistance of HRT and hair removal and best wishes on July 27^th.

Veronica, thinking of shaving legs, my legs can go weeks w/o shaving them since being on hormones and to be honest don't miss it one bit, hey everyone is different 

Friends,

As a cisgender woman, before menopause, I had to shave my legs weekly.  Now, after menopause, I shave my legs once a month.

Try epilating, I use a Braun silk epil, the results last longer than shaving and the regrowth is not spikey as it is when you shave. A little bit painful at first in some areas, notably upper inner thighs and arm pits, but after you've suffered the pain a couple of times it's a lot easier. i used to have a hairy chest, but the regrowth now is amazingly less and an epilation there lasts for 3 weeks or so, and is now very limited to the area between my boobs.

Cheers Eve
