breasts It won't look like i have gynecomastia will it?

[Guest Krisina]

With HRT will I look like I have gynecomastia. Or will I look like I have normal female breasts. Will I look like a guy overweight with man boobs.

I'm in my mid 40's so ymmv your miles may vary everyone is different.

I'm just wondering how others have found things.

Also. I understand the other plumbing will shrink and probably stop working but do I get anything back in return for it's loss. Feeling in the breasts, nipple for pleasure.

I wear breast forms and wonder if I will be able to still wear them while the breasts are growing, or will the pressure and the sensitive nipples make it hurt.

Everybody is different. I have to say that I'm happy with what I've gotten so far. They don't look like moobs. As far as forms, I don't use any. On some days just getting a hug is bad enough (OUCH!) that I wouldn't even want to think about forms.

I love my breasts forms as the size makes me feel normal when I go out socializing or shopping etc.

I guess I might just have to figure our something else to avoid pain yet still look the same in the meantime.

That has me wondering about yet another set of questions.

Is it painful shaving the hair on the sensitive growing breasts and how long until the hair on the chest and stomach change into fine feminine hair?

I am 41 now and have been on hrt for 3 years now. Before I ever started hrt, I had read over and over how if you were past your twentys that you could count on not seeing much of any breast growth from hrt. Well very surprisingly this was not so for me as I am now almost spilling out of a 40 C bra. As far as how sensitive the breats will get. Well when they grow they can and will be sore. This is not a constant pain but more when they go through growth sperts. Also mine (breasts) have became way more sexualy sensitive then I ever thought possible. Many MTF will notice some size loss and funtion. I do belive alot of the funtion loss has to do with having a way less active libido and non exceptence on the thing between there legs. Myself while I have all but lost any and all spontanius and morining erections can still funtion down there if needed. As far as hair on your cheast well personaly never had more then a couple stray hairs there so can not say. The hair on my legs pertty much stopped growing all together(except for a couple stray hairs on knees). But as many here say your milage may vary...

Well, I'll be 2 years on HRT in about 3 weeks.

My body type is naturally slender and lean, and I did not expect much breast growth, especially since I started HRT at age 54 and just recently turned 56. My cup size is now a B+ (measured just last week at Victoria's Secret by three different people there (one measured me as a 38-C; however, I was skeptical about that)). They DO look like actual breasts; however, remember, they go through five stages of development. Google "Tanner Development for Females" and check out Tanner I-V breast and pubic development measurements that doctors use. Unless you're significantly overweight, they will not likely look lik moobs.

Plumbing? Everything works fine; however, I do have issues. The verdict is still out on these. However, HRT may or may not be the culprit with these. YMMV.

Breast forms. Apologies to our fine sponsor; however, I never use them and never will. Padded bras? Nope. Tucking and/or gaffs? Never in a million years. That's just me. Do what works for you!

Finally, B+ is as far as breast size may ever be for me. It IS unusual for older T-gals to have significant development unless they're markedly overweight to begin with. Those who start HRT in their teens and twenties can have breaktaking results! I could post a link here to prove this to you; however, the mods would bum out. Bikinis ... teddies ... au naturel ... you get the idea. However, these T-grils (teens and twenties) are, like, AMAZING! About half have had breast augmentation surgery (implants). The half who did not still look wonderful! Frankly, the ones who get implants tend to go way overboard and end up looking out of proportion and nonaesthetically-pleasing, IMHO.

Go for the gusto, babes, and not to worry!

I have had my breast forms for a number of years, so the size has always made me comfortable when I have stepped out the door.

As far as the breast growth stages tanner stage 1 - stage 5. I got the impression that transgender women got to about tanner stage 3. Or maybe that was just older women over 4o for example.

Doing a google search for tanner stages mtf is a good place to look for info.

Not sure about full time but I could certainly be androgenous until I make up my mind or the breasts are too big. I can go easily as it is blending in. My voice and proportions are okay as it is. Full time would mean wearing a wig, but I've mentioned that many times already.

The one thing constant, dysphoria coming and going. My mood or feeling more depressed lately about being all male when I don't want to be for the rest of my life is depressing. I think if I am in the same spot as I am now in 5 years I don't want to be around.

I'm going to talk to my GT about the referral letter for HRT to see a endocrinologist. I have to move forward. I can't stand still anymore. It is better to move forward than stagnate in doubt and worry. Tired of fighting it.

Krisinia:

You have arrived, girl. Exactly how I felt when I started therapy. Welcome to the Tractor Beam. You'll fully understand what I mean by saying this as time and circumstance proceeds apace for you.

Peace & Joy Lacey Lynne Happy Thanksgiving

[Guest Krisina]

Welcome to the tractor beam hmmm.

Well I am running out of ideas of how to feel better. I will probably start going on about this other subject once on I get on hrt but I know without hrt hair grows quicker than on hrt, like on the face. That means instead of one days growth for electrolysis it will be say 4 days of growth? Which means less time to be able to go out I am guessing in girl mode, yuk. I'm guessing that is what happens. Plus I read somewhere there is swelling and to have an ice pack after treatment on the upper lip area. I HATE the idea of the pain of electrolysis in the lip area. Laser has been cool, in a non cold way

Do not discount breast forms and your development.....

I've been about 3 years HRT and I'm a small "B"

But while having growth spurts and growing pains, breast forms make a wonderful cushion for the girls and protect and cradle the growing boobies...

Try it....

I love 'em!

Breast forms, are you talking about the same thing as I use. I use masectomy type breast forms from the Breastform Store along with a masectomy bra.

I'm talking about the gel type....I bought mine from Joann Fabrics for about $15 and just slip then into a regular bra one size bigger than me....

Works perfectly!
