Help! I am getting hairy!

[carolineh]

I am becoming increasingly hairy. I am 28, had a pregnancy terminated in the tenth week a year ago, and since then I have noticed an increase in the quanity and length of the fair hair on my face. Elswhere on my body, hair that was fair, is now dark. What is this and what am I to do?

Go and see your Doctor. He/she won't think you're being silly and will tell you whether this hair change is normal (body hair darkening/thickening does happen as you get older). A simple blood test may be required. I can't think your termination could be anything to do with this.
