A little over a year ago, I started living with my boyfriend, who is on hormone therapy. He rubs testosterone cream onto his skin, or occasionally injects testosterone into his hip. A few months after we started sharing a bed, I noticed my body hair was growing in thicker and darker, and I was getting more of it, especially on the fronts of my thighs, the line from my navel to my crotch, and a bit on my upper lip. I'm a pale-skinned blonde, so it was surprising to suddenly start growing black body-hair.
Could it be his T is rubbing off on me? I couldn't think of another reason I would be suddenly growing more hair. I saw a doctor, and she said my testosterone levels were quite high. Is it just my body putting out a lot of testosterone, or has his affected my body? If my hair-growth is because of testosterone, will it go away after I get more estrogen? Is there anything I can do to counter-act it?
