Leakage

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

The other night I was laying in bed and my breasts started aching(they've been doing that alot recently) so I started massaging them. That felt good and took the ache away but I noticed that I had started leaking a clear fluid from both of the, Im just curious as to what that might be and if it is normal at 2.5 or so months on RLE.

[Guest N. Jane]

That's a normal part of breast development and a small amount of "leakage" will continue as long as you are on HRT (according to my doc).

That is true about the leakage thingy.

I am thirty months in and my breasts almost always ache(i know whine whine whine...grin).

Anyway,I was giving the girls a massage the other night and a big drop of milk exuded from

each breast.No more,just that one big drop.And believe me,I do not want to lactate.

Nothing to worry about Hun! Female hormones induce development of our mammary glands and it is not unusual to develop "growing pains." They can leak from time to time and on occasion make milk---that is what they are designed for after all. The good news is that mammary glands themselves also make estrogen naturally so your body has it's own source of estrogen. While massaging will relieve the aching it also stimulates your mammary glands to "produce."

I heard on the radio early this morning that if your breasts itch (not really the case in this thread but it may go along with aching) to put a cabbage leaf in each cup and that should take the itch away.

Not sure how accurate that is, it's just what I heard. If anyone wants to test that and report back....

Amen....

But, I do rub them for relief from the soreness...

I guess that I had better watch out for that!

I rub my girls all the time with lotion because well,I am in love with them(grin).

[Guest Erika]

That only happens to me if I push down hard and it is a clear discharge. I would say that is normal.

[Guest NatalieRene]

This topic deeply confuses and worries me. How much do they ache? I hope I'm not going to be in pain all day when I start hrt. If they hurt why are you rubbing them? Is it something that makes the ache go away and if so by making the pain go away does that mean I'd be doing a death march towards lactation? If I ignore the ache will it just go away?

Natalie......

Honey...this whole thread can make one nervous before they ever start HRT....

Honestly....(for me) the pain is minimal and most of the time I'm not even aware of it...I have an "A" size..and I've been on HRT 9 months...

Sometimes its a dull ache ...not bad ...and the rubbing is soothing...

Some GG I've asked (like my wife ) don't ever remember having any pain during their puberty (that's what this is for us)...

And a couple said that they experienced some pain during that time..

Also, I've noticed no lactation or discharge of any kind...

Again, it varies...

One thing that does happen, is that they are much more sensitive and if you accidentally hit them in any way...well, that can hurt a LOT.

I opened a file cabinet drawer into my chest...DANG!

Don't let it all get to you, Hon.....

It's not that bad...

The French bike racers put cabbage leaves in their cycling helmets and that absorbs a lot of their oils and gunk from their scalps..remember shampoo is a banned substance in France.....

I'm not implying their is a lot of gunk and oil coming out of your breasts ladies.....sorry....

When I get mine, I'm putting fig leaves over them. Somehow seems more appropriate!

Lizzie, you're solely to blame for the direction this thread is going in.

Don't worry about it Hon it's the best pain you'll ever feel. I'm at three years HRT and my girls still ache but from what I understand that happens to all women.

I wasn't trying to scare you Natalie,

It is when your boobs start hurting,that is the pain that lets you know you really are on your way.

Oh it never hurt Soooooooo Gooooood And lil lady,massaging your girls is good for them,as it

stimulates growth.And believe me when I say,you wont be able to keep your hands off them.(grin)

Hugs Girl,

What makes them grow from massage? Do you get like an extra cup size? Really?

You never know what nature will give you until you are in transition.

It is estrogen that makes everything happen.The anti androgens just shut your testosterone

and DHT down,to allow a greater more complete feminizing.So massaging helps the girls along

in their growth,which takes a few years bye the way.

I remember reading that women shouldn't wear a bra 24/7, as it interferes with "mixing of fluids in the breasts", which helps with breast health and development.

So, I guess massaging them would aid this process.

Oh, my, the song "Shake 'em up" just popped into my head.....

Try massaging them with a progesterone based cream if you don't take progesterone as a pill. Be sure to tell your physician when he evaluates your blood test. The cream is available over the counter - I originally found it at whole foods, then ordered it a bit cheaper on the internet, IT IS NOT an illegal hormone and it does not promote secondary female characteristics - so don't use it for that. What it does do - they theorize - is work with the estrogen of HRT to promote more rounded breast development.

Thought I would add this.

I don' like to promote drug usage, but in this case it is enhancement.

ya mine used to ache alot, it kinda comes and goes, hopefully there are not done growing, but also, mine itch, and i wondered if that was normal.

Mel

[Guest MrAwesome]

I'm kinda curious... I'm an FTM and my chest never really got sore/ached while it was developing - and it's been 6 years... Why is it that MTFs have so much trouble with soreness/aching?

[Guest Donna Jean]

Mel

Yep! Itching is very normal...especially early on...

..so if any of you ladies want to try putting a cabbage leaf into your cups and see if that takes the itch away.

p.s. Don't pull a Donna, I heard she used coleslaw.
