Crossdressers-Haven.com

Hey everybody

My name's Helen and I've been married to a crossdresser for 8 years (yes I knew he CD before we married). We have 6 year old twin sons together and life couldn't be better for the both of us.

However, I haven't joined this forum for that reason. I suffer from a condition called PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and one of the main symptoms of this is excess hair (on my face, chest, back etc). I was hoping to get some advice on how to cope with this from you wonderful ladies (for some reason I can't talk to my DH about it). If you don't feel it's appropriate for me to be here, then please tell me and I'll leave as quietly as I came!

Hi Helen

DON'T GO ANYWHERE

Right, now we've got that out of the way, Welcome to this wonderful forum from me down the road a bit and round the M25. I'm certain the ladies will be queueing up with more advice and help than you can shake a stick at.

Hi Helen, to the forum.

You may have come here for a different reason than most of us, but you may find this a nice place to visit.

As for PCOS, I only know one other person who has PCOS. She seems to be coping well on birth control pills. She's indicated that it can get worse with age/menopause and/or weight gain. Her husband is also trans.

A friend of a friend uses spiro and birth control pills to control her PCOS. Spironolactone is an antiandrogen inhibiting the biologic effects of androgens, male sex hormones, on normally responsive tissues in the body.

Hi Helen& to our little neck of the woods .Its always wonderful to me when i here of a supporting So . I hope she apprecaiates it .Stephenie g

Hi Helen

Lovely to welcome you here. I hope someone else can help you as I seem to have less bodily hair than most males and an occasional scrape with a razor does me.

best wishes

Hi Helen

It's great to have you join us here, a very warm welcome indeed.

Welcome Helen,

As you can see some advice has already been given and if you will log into the GG's only section, some of our GG's may also have some advice.

We would also like for your SO to join us as well.

Hi, Helen, and welcome to the Forum!

I can't help you with the PCOS - in fact, I've never heard of it before! - but I've given you access to the GG-only section of the forum . . . maybe one of the other GG's may be of assistance?!?

That being said, your CD is invited to join our cyber family, too!

Welcome, Helen--
Come on in and join us.

Welcome to the forum Helen. Can I get in on some of the hair discussions also. I am a bit on the furry side and agree hair between your cleavage is not the best of a look. I did see a GG with a mustache once. It needed to be groomed a bit I thought.

Welcome Helen. It is nice to have GGs in our family. Is your hair dark? I ask because my wife does have brown hair and had some on her lip and chin that she didn't like. She went to laser hair removal. It took several applications but it is now gone. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well for blondes (like me). Good luck.

Thank you very much for your kind replies and making me feel welcome. Looking forward to getting to know you all better!

Hi Helen,
Welcome to our board. Hope we can be of help.

Hi, Helen, and a warm welcome

Hello, Helen, and welcome to our friendly space. I've read the same things about lasers. They act on the pigment in hair follicles and therefore are more effective on dark hair than on light.
