Going off BCP and icky hair

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I have been off BCP now since March. Last year, I religiously got my upper lip and brows threaded, but after my wedding, I got lazy. I have just been using one of those $10 trimmer things you see in infomercials for my lip. Well, decided to just go ahead and get it threaded, and OMG, it grew back like a man-stache. So much darker! It's always been there, but not like this. Ick.

Has anyone else found this to happen when you went off the pill. At this rate, I'm going to go broke from getting it threaded every 2 weeks.

    I noticed a bit darker hair, but I get my lip and eye brows waxed.

    I've always had random hair issues (no PCOS though) made worse by waxing. Maybe BC started it, I don't know, but waxing/plucking definitely made it worse.

    I may try waxing. Threading does last a couple weeks (just needing to pluck a few strays). How often do you wax?

    I didn't notice a real change in hair growth.  My hair has always been super dark, so I definitely get regular eyebrow and lip waxes.  Maybe switch to waxing instead of threading?

    Every 4 weeks or so.  I pluck in between though.

    I never had a lip hair problem until after I stopped BC. I waxed it for the first time in November and I got so many bumps it was awful - just as bad as having the hair there. Now I just use one of those small eyebrow razors to maintain it, and I'm fine with that. I've noticed the hair on my arms get darker too. I trim that as well and it's less noticable.

    Not necessarily with hair, but I swear my body went wackadoo when I went off BCP before DD. I was on it for almost 10 years I was sweating so much more and got massive amounts of acne. I felt like a teenager again. It eventually kinda regulated out since I had DD.

    I have this also. Between the hair and acne, my face is a flipping mess. I never had acne on BCP.
