Hello,
There mostly won't be any. Facial hair is as likely to be FROM estrogen (it is metabolized to testosterone) as from the withdrawal. Mostly, one might feel blah as the most common symptom.
Estrogen is not given alone as a general rule because it can increase the risk of uterine cancer unless progesterone is also given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
