Yes it was a men’s t-shirt.  Honestly I usually don’t wear a shirt.  Yes I would like to wear something else in bed, but I have renegotiated or ignored enough other rules , that one shall reman sacred, at least fo now.

Sunday afternoon.  We are supposed to get storms and I had to make some adjustments for my boat before they hit. That means male work clothes so I wore a sports bra.  Definitely prevented any chafing.  
 

I am definitely having more erect nipples and some swelling behind them.  That’s where the pain is for me.  
 

I can’t decide if I’m getting general breast growth or not.  My self measurement can vary between 41 ½ and 43. The 41 was what it was all along. 43 would definitely indicate growth.

There is a fabric that uses bamboo in its makeup (I think its called Viscose?) and it is divine in its soft feel next to my skin.

 

I'm going to have to look into that! So far, I've been thrilled with the soft feel of the clothes I've gotten from Torrid...(well, except for the one chiffon top I got. I love the design, and its still softer than the guy stuff I usually wear, but it has zero stretchyness. The lack of any stretchyness kinda makes it feel like paper, only more durable. Chiffon seems much more suited to gowns than shirts.) So far my favorite material seems to be a mix of predominantly "modal" (a big improvement on rayon, apperently). So soft and light!

Erm, so I guess it's a 50/50 mix of modal and cotton.

Even though I don't openly dress feminine at home, I have totally converted to wearing women's nightwear exclusively. 
I just cannot feel comfortable anymore in men's pj's or shorts.

 

I've pretty much done that too. (Same with panties. My usual el cheapo men's briefs are just so boring, uncute and chaffier than my feminine collection. And don't even get me started on boxers!) It's kind of ironic since I never used to like wearing anything to bed other than basic underwear. Last time I wore pajamas was probably the 80's! My usual rule is "The less clothing I can manage without, the better."

 

But last year, I bought myself a couple of kinda sultry nightgowns, and one of them in particular just feels so nice to wear that lately, I've been wearing it to bed more often than not. So comfy and soothing...mmm...?

 

Only problem is, I have enough trouble getting out of bed even in normal conditions. But now, there's all the more reason to stay in bed because I don't want to take off my nice comfy nightie and put on thick rugged, boring, neck-choking boy clothes!

Hello!

 

well my doctor confirmed I have started growing breasts.  His words, this is just like a teen starting.  I was hoping for that diagnosis.

 

I guess everything was primed and ready, but just needed that boost of DEP.

Now you just need to find a bra that makes them look nice. I was looking in the mirror today and the one I'm wearing is doing me NO favors.

HiJackie

 

I have been wearing Soma bras.  Originally purchased when i was flat and using breastforms.  But with some early changes, the breastforms looked unnaturally big and pushed the cups out.  So still wearing the same bra but with a push-up pad to fill in the blanks.

 

Soma are well made, soft and come in lots of styles and colors.  I have ones that hide the side fat, move it front.

 

what would be best for me now would be a padded A cup but it’s hard to find that with a 40 band size.

Yup, I own one of those. Crystal and I had a discussion with a friend of mine today about how it's hard to find things that fit tall girls. Crystal is only 5'8", but we share a shoe size. Ray, our friend who needed convincing, is 5'3". I keep TELLING her how hard it is to find stuff in my size, but...

 

At least Crystal can find bras. ? I own like three that have a decent fit. One's padded. It's purple and I love it.

 

Hugs!

Something I never thought about, driving. I love driving. I usually drive with one hand on the wheel. A habit I picked up driving manual. Yesterday I had to go out on a service call for work. I noticed I was having a little trouble steering, making a full circle with only one hand on the wheel. Something’s getting in the way. As I made a slow sharp turn into the driveway it hit me. It’s my girls getting in the way. Now I have to (happily) relearn some aspects of driving. Maybe no donuts or drifting corners in the snow for me this year.

Some things you never think about, until they're a thing.

I've been noticing this sort of thing lately myself.  I kinda like it.

I just realized I lost SIX INCHES off my band size between the last time I measured myself and now. Granted that still means my band is 42" but that's BETTER...

Congratulations Jackie  loosing weight and or inches is always a good thing. 

 

Liz, I'm pretty sure I've got a long way to go before that happens again.  Oh, yes that happened to me wearing breast forms once or twice.  Now, no more breast forms so its going to take time to get enough size again.

 

Jandi, yes it is a nice feeling.  Never having any prior experience with this, I just wanted confirmation that is was growth and not something else.  Can't ask my wife because she isn't happy about this.  

 

So, @Jackie C. If you don't mind, where did you find large band A cup and what brand bra do you like.

 

Hugs

They were all lucky amazon buys.

 

Technically this is a B, but it fits pretty well. T-shirt bras rock, but I need more support on the sides.

Hi @Willow -

I have a 42A for the second link @Jackie C. posted.  Glamorise brand #3010, comes in 40A also.  I LOVE that bra❣️  Its the only one I own that gives me shape and some cleavage for my non-HRT self.

I kind of feel like the odd girl out on this. I can find my size in most stores. Granted there's not a lot of choices. Feeling I'm over-all a lot smaller than I ever realized.

I suppose it doesn’t help being 5’10” and 190. Not fat by any stretch just large   You can feel my ribs.  My sister was 5’7” and very athletic.  I doubt she ever weighed more than 135.

 

I definitely need a bra that covers the sides otherwise I end up with a very uncomfortable roll pushed out between the bra and my underarm.  If you pull that into the cup it helps fill the volume.  Just reach in with your fingertips and gently lift your breast up an pull the side growth in.  I always measure a size or two bigger than I can actually fill.

I can find my size in most stores also. The other day I went to a store called Soma I was actually fitted. That was great lol. They have you put on a sports bra with sensors on it and it measures you. They told me I was a 40c but I ended up with a 38d and they fit great and it gives me a little bit of room to grow since they definitely not stopped.

 I need bra help. I been staring to have trouble keeping the straps up. I tried tightening them but I can't go very far before it starts pulling the whole thing up. I'm not spilling out of the cups at all but the thing I noticed is the apex of my bra(s) is about 1-1/2 inches below an imaginary line between my armpits. I don't know if it should be this low. Google has been completely useless. I feel if the straps were closer together or the apex was higher the problem would go away. I'm thinking I need to go up a cup size. Anyone?

This used to happen to me a lot early in my transition. I wasn’t quite big enough for an B cup and my breast tissue was not filling the cups enough. Of course, all the nice bras I wanted didn’t come in A cup sizes. Eventually when I grew enough to fit into most B cups, the issue disappeared for the most part. But adjusting the straps never helped much and it started to pull up too much from under my breasts if I did.

 

You might just try some of these until they fill out your current bra. Alternatively, you might order half cup sizes through a company that sells them like ThirdLove

 

Susan R?

 

These straps below are sold here

Thanks @Susan R. You understand exactly what I'm going through. The straps on my bras can be hooked together but then they are too close and you can see them unless I wear a crew or v-neck. Those strap holders may be the answer. I've looked around thirdlove. I heard they're really good and I should give them a chance.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
