What the heck? Facial hair. Will HRT stop growth?

I have just noticed a nice white peach fuzz on the sides of my face plus a nice little while MO. When did this start happening? I have no idea.
Anyway, I am now on my second month of HRT and wonder if , when I remove the hair, will this mean the HRT will stop it growing back?

I have never had any stray hair, not a particularly hairy person.

I've been on HRT for 6 years and it hasn't stopped the hair growth, however, I've no idea if I'd be a lot more hairy if I wasn't on it. I have a rather fetching moustache which I wax and every so often, a thick, black wire sprouts from my chin. My eyebrows are determined to turn grey too but not in any particular order. Overnight, I'll sprout one of two spectacular one inch long eyebrow hairs. It's all quite alarming particularly as I work with very small children who have no worries about commenting about my hairiness! 😂

The hair I have is really odd, very extremely white and like a fuzz

Is it best to use a cream? I have never had to remove hair before (bar the old leg shaving)

If it's soft and downy, I'd leave it alone as it may only be noticeable to you. My facial hair is wiry. You need to spend a morning with a class of four year olds to get an honest opinion. Preferably on a sunny day when the hair will catch the light! 😂

People have noticed sadly. My son mentioned it the other day, calling me a bearded lady.

Oh. 😢 In that case, maybe it would be worth considering something like electrolysis? I don't know much about hair removal so hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along and give some advice!
