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.


I updated my post to clarify I wasn’t advising them to follow my endo’s instructions
However you do have me curious.
I’m on blockers so my T is below what the test will measure, sufficiently nuked.
My E most recently was at 484 pmol/L, and not at trough as you mention. What are ladies usually aiming for at trough?
360ish to 740ish+. 360+ with blockers and then often you need 740+ to block testosterone without a blocker
Thanks, I am actually due a review with my endo so I’ve raised it just to be sure
