No, I know it's not an off-the-wall idea in terms of the fact that increased body hair growth can be an indication of an increase in testosterone, but, uh, if every single woman in my family has the same "problem" and if the hair growth in no way started at the same time as the pain, then either we all have always had higher levels of testosterone than normal or there's something else going on here. And I'm 27 and my sister's 24, and the body hair is not a new thing, so it's not like it's something that has changed with age either (unless you count the actual appearance of it for the first time).
Also, I had hormonal testing done the first time I sought help for the cramps, at which point I had the same amount of body hair, so I actually know it's not what he's suggesting.
