questions about rapid onset of breast growth


Darci

Recommended Posts

I initially started HRT on 24DEC2020, I was on a typical starter of low doe of oral E, and low dose spiro. Just after the new year, I had some issues with the side effects of spiro and my doctor had me pause for a week, and then restart. I was still having issues, and when I caught up with the doc two weeks later, he took me off the spiro because I had naturally-low T. He had me restart the E. About two weeks after that, I started getting soreness in my breasts.

It should be noted here that I am NOT complaining.

 

My question is this: due to the relatively-fast onset of breast tenderness and soreness, is this something I need to be concerned about, or bring up to my doctor?

Not really. I had soreness early on too. They didn't start to burst out of my chest or anything. I've still got an A-cup and plenty of soreness. What are you going to do?

 

Hugs!

ALWAYS if you have health care questions, let your doctor and their staff know about your concerns.  If it is a general soreness in both breasts , and maybe some tummy sleeping problems, or pets or kids hopping on you pain or soreness, then that sounds pretty normal at nearly 3 months which is what the SOC 7 tags as about when we should start having the growing pains.  If you self inspect and find any hard lumps or skin irregularities though with the soreness I would make it more of a priority to see the doctor or a member of their care team at least.

No lumps or skin abnormalities, thankfully, that was one of the first things I checked.

The soreness started late January/early February, but I'm not 2 full months in, especially with a 3-week break. This is why the question comes to mind.

I'm started cyproterone acetate and estradiol hemihydrate dermal patches 5 Nov 2020. Just over four weeks in my breasts started to ache and I found out only after I jumped outside, in -27°C (~-17°F) weather, without a jacket when opening the store one day. Ooo, did that hurt!

 

In short, your time frame seems reasonable.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I was just on spironolactone for 3 months before I started the estrogen. But I started getting the soreness about 2 weeks after starting the E.

I have low T myself. Found out when I was married and we was trying for a kid and doing blood work to check for any problems. But, once I am talking to a doctor about HRT, I will pass this info along and thanks for you input on you time on spiro.

  • 7 months later...

Only 3-1/2 weeks in on only low E via IM injection. I think I have naturally low T at nearly 59 years.

 

Soreness, large breast but left starting I think to become a disk. Right breast is forming bud but lagging behind.

 

Question, can I expect things to slow down? So far this seems crazy fast compared to what I have read and heard about!

YES, but no telling when, and then it will speed up again maybe --  Onset of development is 3 to 6 months, completion is in 3 to 6 years and it is a bouncy ride.

I started fast with mine also two years now and just a b cup for now but developed early after starting hrt also just watch out for carts bending over and hitting them with your breast is murder...and congregations welcome to womanhood ....

      Just like anything else that is new it's always the thing that people fear of. People are typically afraid of change. Even something as simple as new procedure at work or the population growing. Typically just have the mindset of it's not broken then don't fix it type of attitude. The world is progressing and they need to accept that or they will eventually be left behind. A good example after WW II women working in the workforce things didn't go well at all due to a lot of butting heads. There are still even people now that think women are only meant for housework and raising babies.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.
