HRT is go!

[jo_g]

Yesssssterday I had my first dose of oestradiol gel and finasteride. Sooo very happy. For various reasons (still not socially transitioned and still investigating the cause of abnormal liver function results) am on only a small dose for the next 3-6 months and an increase is signed off. But considering it's been a much shorter wait than I'd been expecting, I'm totally over the moon and super excited and grateful for any changes that I experience. Mental and physical. 

 

However, I do have a (quite silly) question. I've read that wearing sports bras won't restrict breast growth, which is great, but when presenting female, I also use chicken fillets (not full on breast forms). I put the fillets in the bra first and then pull my existing chest above that, so the fillets aren't visible. As this is quite tight (needs to be to keep everything in place, but isn't painful, or anything like) I have this fear that doing this for a prolonged period of time might cause breast growth to be reduced, or deformed. I'm hoping someone can tell me with confidence (or point me to some blog or whatever) that tells my I'm just being silly and over thinking things. I'm off for a weekend in the sun soon and am hoping to get some sunbathing in, but absolutely need these breast enhancers to give the right shape when out and about, as I'm so early on in HRT.  

 

In other news... time for my second ever dose of oestradiol and finasteride! ???

 

 Happy girl is happy.

Ta very much.

 

Yeah, I also did some searching and I'm thinking (and hoping) the lack of anything out there suggests I'm just over thinking things and should just let my body do what it's going to do.

Big congrats, Jo!     Your journey has started in earnest.  It's good to hear that your doctor is being conservative and taking your liver function into consideration.  Your health is of utmost importance.

 

I've never heard of using chicken breasts as fillers.  I do hope you're cooking them first ?  I doubt that using any kind of insert will cause a problem with breast growth.  Just be careful about germs.  ?

Thanks so much @Carolyn Marie.  

 

And thanks for the information as well! It's definitely put my mind at ease.
