Are my hormones out of wack?

Question:

Ever since I went off the pill (was getting too many headaches, plus I have high blood pressure), I noticed the peach fuzz on my upper lip is getting darker and longer... I've had to resort to bleaching it every few weeks. I'm a brunette and I know it's noticable and it makes me very self conscious. I'm not one to fret over my looks and I never wear makeup, but I find this embarassing. I often glance at my friends and co workers' upper lips and find I'm envious of their peach fuzz. I went off the pill about 2 years ago and I was hoping things would go back to normal, but no such luck

Answers:
Drink soy milk. It should naturally increase your estrogen production (I am not a doctor, but it works for me). My endrocrinologist told me to do it. One glass a day and I am good to go.

Get some face bleech. BE grateful that you are not me, lol. I am on thyroid medication and it causes me to grow whiskers under my chin. Like, a lot. I pluck those and bleach my upper lip. Once a week.

It happens to us all. At least you notice it, lol. I have a friend who is also a brunette. When we first met, she had a DARK mustache! Yikes! I worked up my guts and at the risk of hurting her feelings, I convinced her to let me bleach it for her. Now she does it herself and her confidence is rising.

Good luck!

I don't know how old you are, but I'v enoticed the same thing in the last 2 years. I have to use the nair for the lip area. I've had my hormones check and everything is fine-might just be age.

Well,,,, although the pill can cause your hormones to imbalance,,, I wouldnt blame the pill entirely for your upper lip issue. because this kind of thing happens to ladies that dont even take medications. My best advice to you would be to get a home wax kit... Home wax kits can actually prolong the growth for up to four weeks and it looks very natural... Best of luck to yah :)
