Concerns about arm hair growth
See title. I’m on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.
Normally my arm hairs aren’t very visible, so I didn’t have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I’m concerned. Is this normal?
My mum doesn’t really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.
Were you applying all the spray doses at the same time each day? Ideally you space each spritz across the day. F.ex you might do one spritz at 7 in the morning and then one at 7 at night, or three spritzes with 8ish hours between them.
Ahh, I do all three at once a day. I use Lenzetto 1.53 mg/dose. No, I kind of variate, I’ve a bit of an irregular mind. A few months ago I used to do it more consistently between 18-20 o’ clock, but it’s a bit more erratic now.
How about for now, until I switch to gel/needles, I’ll try 4 spritzes, 2 around 7:30, and 2 around 19:30?
That sounds good! Twice a day would be a big upgrade. I think the half life is such that once a day is never sufficient unless you take sky high doses which would be uncomfortable for other reasons. I don’t remember the half life at the top of my head but it’s two digit and measured in hours, and not days like with injections
