How to deal with quicker then expected breast growth.


Red_Lauren.

Recommended Posts

So this morning I put in my favorite bra, and while I knew I out grew the cup size. I didn't know how bad. Hello uni-boob, and over flowing cups. I have a few bigger bras. That i bought Last month. After I literally took my bra off at work, because I was in that munch pain.

 

I also had a stern talk with my breast last week. That was how annoyed I was with them. I was like I'm happy you ladies showed up, and was excited my genetics haven't screwed me over yet, but it would be nice if you slowed down for a bit. I then turned sideways, and whispered to them. Now if you ladies want to tell your sisters down south to wake up and get to work, and work over time. I dont care how big she gets. Yes I really had that talk while naked standing in front of the mirror one night.

 

Don't get me wrong im happy they are growing, but I went up a full cup size in a month. I can't afford to buy new bras every few months. Especially now that they are growing, or I could completely just stop. I officially love/hate my breast right now. Because of the unknown, and cost.

I would discuss with your HRT practitioner. A change of dosage may help.

Honestly Lauren I think this comes under the, be careful what you wish for category.  Just as with cis women, there is no controlling what your cup size will be through puberty and they have to buy lots of bras for a period too. It also changes with fluctuations in weight. The only advice I can give 2nd hand from cis women I know is, do not understimate the importance of a good fitting bra, I read a blog article recently that said most trans women naturally end up with an A cup after 3 years so you very well may be one of the exceptions to their rule!

I mean I'm only 7 months on hormones. I have a blood draw next week. In march they bumped my estrogen up, but kept spiro the same. So I'm sure it's a growth spurt.

I haven't gained any weight. I've actually lost a few pounds since the new year. The only difference between a teenager, and a adult. Most kids aren't paying for them, and from what I heard from friends who have teenage daughters. They will gladly buy their bras. As I have heard they are a lot cheaper then a full grown womans bra. I'll take their word for that. As I won't ever have to buy bras for a teenager. 

 

In all ready bigger then 2/3 woman i can use genetics for. While I was a b before hormones. I'm now a soild c. That all happend in a month. Its to the point where I'm freaking out how quickly they are growing. I just am surprised how quickly they have grown, and so are my female friends. 

 

Believe me i know the comfort of a good bra also. I sell bras daily. The only reason I work retail is to get the discount on bras. I'm pretty munch buying one, and getting one free. I did make my nail salon laugh today. My bosses husband was talking me in to investing. I have zero issues with investing, but right now I'm broke. I told him when he's investing in to 50 dollar bras monthly.  We will talk. That got a good laugh out the the 3 woman in the salon.

Since I posted this. I can tell they have grown. I'm sure I'll be needing a cup size bigger by new year or so.

Until your breast growth stabilizes you could try buying sports bras/bralettes that don't have as much structure or underwire. That way they can accommodate fluxuations in size. Plus underwire free bras are often more comfortable anyway, and they can offer just as much support without having the boning poking into your sides. Personally I don't own any underwire bras, and I don't really like wearing a bra at all unless I need it to help fill out the proper silhouette of my outfits.

I really wish I could wear sports bras, and bralettes. I have a huge chest, and when I wear a sports bra. All it dose is pull my breast, and chest muscles to the side, and it hurts after a few hours. I also need the support of wires. I'm a borderline d cup right now. I can do things around the home braless, but in public no. I had a female friend tell me a few weeks ago. That I probably shouldn't be going braless any more, and she's bigger then me.

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.

      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
