Facial hair growth along with scalp hair thinning points toward a hormonal pattern often seen with PCOS, even though your cycle length is regular. Periods that are regular but very short, lasting only a day and a half to two days, can also happen with the same hormonal imbalance affecting the uterine lining.
Next Steps
A hormone panel including testosterone and DHEAS, plus an ultrasound of your ovaries, would help confirm whether PCOS is driving this, so ask your gynaecologist to arrange these.
Health Tips
Avoid starting any hair-growth or hormone supplement on your own, since the right treatment depends on which hormones are actually out of range.
