Has testo given me a beard?

Name changed as rather embarrassed.

On HRT since 47, now 50 and added in testo a few months ago as quite liked the idea of having some energy back and a libido.

I’ve always been on the hirsute side (fair skin, dark hair) and had to pluck the odd chin/neck hair over the years but recently things have somewhat accelerated in that department.

I’m actually now having to shave my neck as there’s too many to manage with tweezers and today I’ve noticed dark hairs on my jaw line. Is this testo (pea amount a day when I remember) or normal post menopause (pretty sure I’m now post).

What can I do/is it reversible/anyone else had this?

Uninvited hair on face & neck is quite normal post menopause, so it might have nothing to do with the testosterone.

Aren’t we lucky. Thinning eyebrows and hair on head, yet it’s growing uninvited on my neck and face.
