@Blueberrybook I didn’t even know there was such a thing as perimenopause at the time I was going through it, which was about 20 years ago! I don’t recall less leg hair; I’ve had trouble with hair since I was a teenager. I have hair on my fingers and toes too! And a moustache which is hard to keep at bay. If I was stranded on a desert island and was rescued, they would think they rescued a man!

Since post menopausal it’s worse. Leg hair may be a bit lighter in color and less quantity but it’s still there. It still grows in fast and pretty dark. Hairy arms too, though much less hair now and less dark. I still shave though not regularly anymore. Just can’t stand leg or underarm hair! It’s like I was born an ape woman or something.

Hair on my chin and dark hairs on both lower corners of my mouth. I pluck them constantly it seems.

@Nammu recently I found out the pendulum has swung in the other direction regarding HRT, that it’s not bad now. Can I ask what side effects you had? And in what form did you get it? Pills, injection, skin patch? Low dose?

Sorry to hear it didn’t help. I wonder if men have any problems as they age. It seems I just hear us about women…..
