Pregnancy after electrolysis

Hello Everyone! I’ve had something playing on my mind and thought it might be time to ask on here. I have posted before but I shall briefly explain my situation:

I am female, age 30, and hormone tests showed no problems. I have been having electrolysis for a year now. I used to have a lot of coarse black/thin grey hairs on my chin and upper lip. (I am also very downy but that isn’t a problem). I originally went for a half hour electrolysis session once every week and over the months this reduced. I now go once every 3 wks for about 5/10 min! I am sooooo pleased with the results! The first 6-8 months were very tough though!

Anyway, I am now thinking about starting a family but I have heard that women can often experience new/increased facial hair during/after pregnancy. I appreciate, being hairy in nature, that I will always be visited by the occasional new hairs but I am terrified at the thought of pregnancy giving me a full, black beard!

So I was just wondering if anyone can comment on what most people experience by ‘increased facial hair’ due to pregnancy? Because I have already had a black, course facial hair issue, but treated successfully with electrolysis am I likely to have a similar amount return or just a few stragglers? Do you know of anyone that went on to be pregnant after successful facial hair electrolysis and did it seriously effect their old facial hair problems?

I hope this makes sense! Its just I’ve come so far now and I love waking up feeling normal for the first time in 10/11 years and I would be devastated if my problem got worse.

Many thanks!

Some women have an increased thickness of the hairs during the months of pregnancy, while others (the majority) is the opposite. In either case, everything returns to normal after a few weeks after birth. Breastfeeding may delay the return to normal, but the experience worthwhile.

Electrolysis is irreversible, deleted follicles can never produce hair again.
