The magic of spiro and thinning body hair?

'Lo.
I'm about to go to a new endoc, and hopefully about to get my Spiro raised a bit (I'm on 50mg daily for a year now). For those of you with ample body hair (especially on the legs) how did you hormone therapy affect the amount and thickness of your body hair? Did it gradually diminish? Same amount of hair, but the hairs were thinner? No change at all? How much hormones were/are you on? Hold old are you? Etc.. and so on?

I'm just wondering, since I was cursed with bizarre genes from my Northern Irish relatives, where I have nearly black body hair, and ample amounts of it on my legs. And seeing as how I'm pushing 30, I often wonder if Hormones will ever have an effect on this thicket of hair, or if I should just start ponying up the cash for laser on my legs right now? (Laser does work *wonderful* on my face, but I've refrained from doing it on my legs due to the cost.)

And thankfully my chest has always been nearly hair-free. Hooray for that lone bit of hope in an otherwise hairy world. ;-)

Thank you dearies.

Edit: I'm not expecting a miracle of even any great results. I'm just wondering if I should expect anything?
