Breast pain back with a vengeance

[Guest Robin Winter]

I went through a period of at least several weeks where the tenderness in my breasts all but disappeared, and I was a little worried that I was done growing. Just in the last few days though, the pain/tenderness has returned and it's actually worse than ever. I'm not worried or anything like that, I'm just surprised. Is this normal? Should I expect a "growth spurt"? I've been on spiro and estrace for 13 months now, which is why it surprised me that I would feel such a noticeable difference at this late stage. I kinda figured I would just have adjusted and I wouldn't really feel much of anything anymore.

Lucky you Shilo! I'm so envious right now!

My prescribing physician told me that it can take up to 9 years for all the changes HRT has to offer and most plastic surgeons recommend waiting at least 3 years of HRT before considering breast augmentation.

When you think about it Female puberty takes years. Most girls don't just blossom all at once. They fill out over time. It only makes sense it'd be that way for us too. Of course, as always, YMMV.

My breasts keep getting tender, especially around my progesterone time of the month but as of yet no full on growing. I'm a small B right now and at my height I'd like to be at least a C but I'm not holding my breath. What will be will be. *sighs*

I know it can be a bit of a double edged blade but congrats

*gentle hugs*

Hey Shilo,

YMMV as we say. It is not uncommon to experience "spurts" over the first 2 - 3 years. There may be other reasons however; consider how long natal females take to develop mature breasts.

[Guest Robin Winter]

I know I don't expect d cups ever, much less in the first year, it isn't the growth that I question, it's that the tenderness got worse after the first year. As I said, I thought my body would have adjusted to the various happenings and it would be less noticeable.

I had breast tenderness for almost 2 years then it subsided for about a 1-1/2 years, i switched to injections in December of last year and the tenderness came back and then some but has recently started to subside again, everyone is different, i was told as long as they are tender that development is taking place, i would ask your doctor if you are concerned.

Its been 43 and a half months on hrt for me. The last few weeks my breasts have been more sore then I ever remmeber them being in the past. Am a 38 D as of now and they keep continuing to grow. On average every 3-6 months they went through anoughter growth spirt.

[Guest Danielle J]

I've been on HRT for 22 months and had not had any tenderness for about 4 months but I have recently started making smoothies with greek yogert and fresh fruit and whey protein to try and lose some weight and have noticed some tenderness.I think it has something to do with the extra protein. I just hope it keeps going.

i was told that tenderness is a sign that the hrt is working any time the tenderness stopped i felt my tlevel go up.I had tenderness after the first month than at about 4 or 5 they hurt all the time and were very sensitve after that it stopped to a mild tendernous if i was you i would just rely on your doctor people on here dont really have the right anwsers because there not professionals and maybe there doctor simply doesnt have the right anwsers

[Guest Robin Winter]

Danielle, you may be on to something I have in fact increased the protein in my diet recently.

Just shy of 11 months here, and the last couple of days have been smarting wonderfully. I swear I wake up in the morning and see a difference, ahh the tricks the mind plays.

As my daughter commented, you can hide a B cup, but it's nearly impossible after that "to hide those puppies".
