Menopause Support Group

My problems started when I found out I was in Peri-menopause. I started noticing the peach fuzz hair all over my sides of my face and my cheecks,and above my lips and below them mixed in with black terminal hairs around my mouth. Also had peach fuzz on my neck behind the ears. Even have hair growing on my forehead in between my eyebrows and up on forehead above my eyes. My skin is always itchy and break out with bumps with this hair growth. I have had my hormones all checked out and my nurse/practioner put me on 200 mlgs. of Progesterone a day. She then checked out my thyroid and also my male hormones. Thyroid is a little low she now wants me taking thyroid medicine which I am not yet doing. Scared it will make more hair pop out and I can't take a chance like that. My question is does anyone else out there have this problem and how are you treating it? Practioner doesn't think I have any PCOS, so what else could it be? This is so embarassing and I can't afford to have electrollysis,any other ways to cut back on new hair growth any help would be appreciated. Thanks
