to grow a beard?

[ZombiesAteYourCervix]

I haven't plucked the ol chin for a week now in sort of anticipation of possibly making a doctors appointment to ask if it is normal for a woman to have quite such a luxuriant beard.

Problem is I haven't got around to making said appointment because I am a wimp and a bit Dr-Phobic.

So chin hair is now sprouting gloriously.

DO I

a. just grow a big beard (like ZZ Top)

b. Pluck it

c. live with spiky growth, man up and make a sodding appointment?

If c. I won't be able to leave the house for the next week.

hulk/.???? me?????? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Well Movember is coming up. Tell EVERYONE you are doing it in the spirit of charity :o

If you don't know what it is

You pluck in the car?

That sounds awful AYC. I really would go and have that lot checked out, it sounds awfully like the symptoms for PCOS.

I have just turned the lamp up and peered closely in a mirror, checking for hairs. None there yet

OMG- I thought it was normal to have to pluck the "cod hairs" (as DH calls them)

I have noticed more and more hairs since having the dc, had a brief period of electrolysis, now wax (or pluck- in the car when DH is driving- you are right about the light! Must make me sooo attractive )
Will be watching with (hairy-chinned) interest

good car light and a scary razorman mirror and tweezers - the perfect plucking tools

Must stop whinging and do something about it.

Car light is good - I usually put my make up on at red lights.

See...green hulk!

Someone posted this on our Peri quiche thread t'other day....quite me funny.

Won't let me copy...bloody copyrite!

It's the menopausal 7 dwarves [hgrin]

I. Am. Not. Crepey. Or. Fucking. Peri. Fucking. Menopausal.

Menopausal???!!!!!

QUICK RUN FOR YOUR LIVES THE OP IS ABOUT TO TURN GREEN AND RIP HER T SHIRT

Definitely sounds like PCOS to me. Disclaimer, I am not a doctor.

and I have run out of fucking bastardbolloksarseanddamn

Don't make her angry...you won't like it when she's angry.

I'm hairy, am 39 and various scans of ovaries and blood tests to check hormones would indicate I don't have pcos. Hairy does not equal pcos, sometimes it's just because you're hairy.

get a tweezerman 10x mirror in boots.

"at what age does this gem kick in?"

In my case, the grand old age of 27!

I've lost my bloody tweezers too!!

What happens if you shave 'em, like a bloke.

Tried shaving them once. Nearly ripped my baby grandson's face off when kissing him. Nuff said.

Hairy arms i've got a problem with but a hairy chin hasn't hit me yet.

But i've got time yet :)

I'm 32 and have always been hairy since about 13 ish, it has gradually got worse over the years especially since having 2 DC's. I think I am just a hairy person. I regularly have my lip and chin waxed, also i have some dark hairs on my upper cheek bones just below the corners of my eyes and have to pluck those occasionally.

I've had some facial hair since the grand old age of 17. PCOS was to blame. I also had spots, irregular, heavy and very painful periods and my blood sugar was all over the place.

BTW, if you can afford it, laser hair removal is your friend. It works best if there is a big contrast between skin colour and hair colour.
