Q: Excess vellus facial hair

I discontinued taking Lutera and have seemed to develop more noticable and longer vellus hair (peach fuzz) mostly on my face and other parts of my body (lower back, upper arms). Has anyone experienced this? Will this side effect be permanent or eventually wear off?

Its a sign of a hormonal imbalance.

It will likely go away if that's not how things were before Lutera. If it does not, and you have other symptoms, then you may want to find the cause for the imbalance
