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.

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....

I hope that is not something I have to deal with. I can do without that.

Amen....

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

I guess that I had better watch out for that!

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..... :D

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. :P

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.

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 :D 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)

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..... :lol:

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.

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?

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      I AM A GIRL!!....Are you?

      By Ivy · Posted

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉
