Facial hair and pregnancy

[Chloe11111]

I have pcos and always have a few random hairs on my chin that I will always pluck. Now i am pregnant they seem to be coming back quicker and more hairs. Is this because of my hormones. Just pray after birth they go again. Dont want to have a full on beard. Real life struggles with pcos

Hi,

I don’t have experience of this myself but during pregnancy those with PCOS find head hair loss improves because older hairs don’t tend to fall out or shed due to the hormone changes. Not sure if the same might be true of hair in other places.

Glamour did an article in 2016 when Adele spoke about it with her pregnancy (not specific to PCOS mind) google.co.uk/amp/s/www.glam...
