Hairy Issues
Yesterday I was experiencing some of the same ‘ole (PMS) symptoms that I’ve been experiencing for almost two years now. So, it doesn’t look necessarily promising over here at Casa Infertile ID. Gosh, I can’t believe it’s almost two years of zero implantations (and –apart from the two IVF embryos- possibly zero conceptions). With this striking pregnancy success rate, I could be mistaken for a man. If there wasn’t that monthly bleeding, of course (which I am actually rather thankful to get. Because it means there is still some hope left in my girls.)
And because there is nothing new to talk about regarding my fertility struggles, I thought we should turn our attention to some other pressing issues. Hairy issues, that is.
You see, lovely internet, I not only have the striking pregnancy success rate of a man, I also have his leg hair. I know, I know, not something you really wanted to know about me, but I thought I throw it out there, just in case you have found the miracle cure at least for THIS problem.
I love summer! But I just can’t seem to find a solution for my hairy problem. Shaving, tweezing, epil?, waxing, sugaring, nadding etc, you name it. Nothing comes even close to what I’d call an acceptable treatment. Sure, waxing/sugaring keeps the hair at bay a little longer than shaving, say one week, but after that week? Hairy hell breaks loose and I have to hide my legs again for the next month or so until all the angry inflamed, ingrown hairs have calmed down. So, needless to say, this is not an acceptable option for summer. Unless summer lasts a week, which may be the case this year in the Northwest. If we even get a summer, that is.
I was also probably one of the first people to buy an Epilady back in the late ‘80ies. And though I am willing to endure some pain in this hairy odyssey, the epilady pain was just a bit much. I really wonder what women tested those things? Did they even have leg hair???? And it didn’t get better with time either. A couple of years later, I bought a newer model. One that promised to be almost painless. Haha!
So, lovely internet, any ideas how to get the hairiness under control?

Oh god, I remember the epilady. Who designed that form of torture? My first spot to try it? Armpit. OW.
I don't know what to tell you, other than shaving. My hair has gotten too coarse for depilatories and waxing never seems to grip it well enough.
Wonder when fur socks will come in style.
If I was truly desperate, I would give electrolysis a try. However, my pocket book would greatly protest.
I have a friend who shaves one leg one day, and the other leg the next. Seems odd, but in theory, why not?
I tried electrolysis on a different part of my body once. Unfortunately, not much success. I think once we're done with ART (is one ever though?), I'll try laser. Until then, shaving it is! Every three hours! (you think I am kidding, right? I am, but only because I am too lazy!)
Thanks!!!
by the way, Julie, one of my friends back in highschool used the Epilady on her armpits, too. I shutter just thinking about it.
