    ok...this is weird....no AF....and no underam hair ????!!!

    6 weeks post partum...no AF, which im fine with, i dont expect it back for another 11 months anyway seeing as im b/f....but theres also no hair under my arms....i.e i havent had to shave under my armpits since H was born !!!! What is with that ??? Every night, razor in hand, i take a peek to see if i need to groom, and nothing, zilch, soft and smooth, no hair to be seen...is it hormonal ???

    Its kinda good in a way, excellent infact...but scary in another......anyone had this ???

    I didn't have nothing, but it was less than half the normal amount - still is after 6 months.... a lot less hair on my legs too.

    No idea why.

    My underarm and leg hair went form growing super quick when I was to pregnant to growing really really slowly for about six weeks after ds was born- I think I only shaved them once. Bizzare. I'm not sure why, I never got around to asking anyone about it

    Maybe because it's winter? I've only shaved once in the last three months but I'm not very hairy anyway. Hair always grows much slower in winter.

    Sounds pretty good to me!

    I guess mine slowed also but I'm not a hairy one anyway so I didnt really notice. I DID notice I lost a lot of hair from my head. Like it was soooo thin in the fringe area that I would get sunburned hanging the washing out and had to get an extra thick fringe style cut in!

    Definately hormones I reckon. Enjoy while it lasts

    it is quite odd. I have heard of this tho.. just happening to elderly women. They sorta just stop growing body hair, and have been told its because of hormones.

    I had the exact same thing, no underarm hair for about 3 months, so unfortunately it does come back.
    It was the middle of summer for me so I was loving it!
    Embrace it my dear

    Great to hear...i was beginning to think i was a freak....
    My doctor said it must be hormonal...although i think she was more excited for me...
