Unhappy Getting worse...

What's going on?!?! I feel like my chin and upper lip are getting worse!! I'm an every day shaver - even after a year of laser treatment. Lately, I feel like I have to shave more than once a day to feel like a girl. I'm so upset, angry, irritated...you name it.

Any one else deal with this? Any advice on what to do??

I just want to be normal for once.

Yes, I shave every morning and that's normal for me! And DH and our kids accept that even though most women don't have to remove facial hair anything like that often, it's as normal for me as it is for DH.

I think the problem is not in the fact of having moustache and beard growth -- the problem is in accepting that one can be a "proper" woman even with moustache and beard growth as heavy as that of many males.

What I now realize is that my DH and my kids accept me as a wife and mother who just happens to have moustache and beard growth like most men have. If it doesn't spoil my relationship with them -- and they're the people who matter most to me -- why should I be upset by it? No-one can deny I'm a woman and a mother. There's the proof that I'm a functional woman, whether or not I have beard growth as heavy as a male.

Hi Mellyhead,

Are you taking any anti-androgens or bcps? If you feel your hair growth is out of control maybe you can ask your physician for help.
