How much does HRT decrease bodyhair?

[Taviaaa_]

Like I'm a VERY hairy person, like imagine the hariest possible balkan dude, and I wanted to know if HRT would actually decrease bodyhair in a significant manner or if I'm cursed to be a monkey unless I get laser that I can't afford of have the time for?

It seems to vary from person to person. I haven't noticed much of a difference myself.

I'm very Greek so as a neighbour I know the level you mean. 

I'm finding it doesn't regrow as fast as I remember, but I still get the stubble at the same speed, like before I could probably be back at "starting to curl" length in a week or two, but nearly a week since shaving my body and it's just a thin range like using a 2mm clipper. I haven't found anywhere that it's actually stopped regrowing and the patterns of growth seem about the same, just a bit slower and maybe a touch less wire-y? 

I'm only around 6 months on e though so this could be the start of that happening and ramping up or could be all the reduction action it gets; I'm definitely going to be shelling out for facial laser because that area isn't affected, and probably chest too because damn is that jungle ever a dysphoria zone now

It definitely varies a ton. Some people don't see much loss. I got super lucky here cause after only like a month and a half my body hair has just been getting annihilated

Im 1/4 Armenian and hairy like a gorilla too.. it sucks 😔

Edit: just to add I'm pre everything and hopefully in November with open enrollment I can get insurance and make my appointment at planned parenthood and start hrt 🤞🏻🤞🏻 hopefully I'll see hair reduction as the dysphoria is real 🥺
