Facial hair

Is there any other reason for having new facial hair growth other than menopause? No ovaries so not PCOS.
Changing HRT could have started it maybe.
Not just the odd hair that shoots up and gets tweezed but actual need to shave chin stubble.
General health is terrible, fibro diagnosis, terrible sleep, constant pain, exhausted no matter how much I sleep
Blood tests always fine.
Could something have been missed?

I wish I had an answer for you, I've got similar issues (had an ultrasound, and no sign of PCOS).

I think it's pretty normal for women's facial hair to increase as we get older. There doesn't need to be a medical reason for it, just normal hormonal changes. A lot of people shave or pluck.
