How much facial hair is normal? 30 year old woman.

[Kb2942]

Noticed changes with facial hair. Not sure if normal or not. I'm very fair, peach fuzz has always been fair... blonde eye brows etc

Still have the blonde peach fuzz. But noticing random dark hairs between all the peach fuzz. Not very dark, but darker than my usual hair and also they grow quite long. Also have a patch of thickened facial hair new my ear similar to my hair colour which I thought Jubba be just from my hair but I have quite a high hairline around my ear... it doesn't join.

Noticed my upper lip hair getting random dark hairs when it used to be totally blonde so remove it now.

Also have dark hairs growing under my chin and around my neck... they grow insanely fast and have to pluck every couple days.

It seems to have got worse since I got the Mirena but not sure if that's a coincidence.

I don't have any other symptoms of pcos u don't think. But do have random dark hairs (just a few) around my nipples!

Any idea?

(Speaking as a man and trying not to be patronising ….)

Facial hair on a woman is entirely natural and ‘normal’
The cultural ‘norm’ can differ and assumes that women fit into neat feminine definitions.

Unless you aren’t happy with the level of facial hair then there’s no issue.
However a full hipster beard on a woman probably implies more facial hair than ‘normal’

Ask your GP to refer you to see if you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

Hormonal changes can trigger facial hair growth, mine got going after IVF. With speaking to your Dr as PCOS is one of a number of hormonal condition that trigger facial hair.
