when is it too early to seek consult for BA?


Recommended Posts

ladies

 

I'm pre hrt..n I know that adds 2 years before BA, but I want to plan it n be ready..do everything to make my skin right etc

 

so I wondered about going for a consult for BA now, to start my plans.

 

when is it too early?

am I simply being ridiculous here?

 

your wisdom as always, welcomed

A consultation at any point in the process will certainly do no harm.  That said, I don't think the consult will result in a lot of specific advice or planning, as the doctor will not have any breast tissue growth to evaluate in terms of what procedures will be necessary or what your options might be.  So perhaps waiting would be more beneficial.

any thoughts on using vacuum suction cups to stretch tissue? or exercise, avoid it or do it?

thanks

Hi Missyjo,

 

HRT can have such a significant impact that you may not need BA. Do you have female siblings? That seems to be a guide. Both mine have large breasts and, guess what, mine have gone huge to DD without any breast augmentation. So definitely hold off from BA until you see what happens with the HRT. You may be in for a pleasant surprise.

 

When I started using breast pumps about a year into transitioning I got a ticking off from my gender clinic. You need to be careful because they can cause tissue damage. Again, I'd say give the HRT a chance to set to work and then if you do use a breast pump, check first with your medic and if they say it's okay, keep the settings really low to start with however tempting (and titillating!!!) it is to do otherwise.

 

Just my take! Good luck. xx

thank you Tilly. I figured I'm not truly 20s so hrt will have limited effect. no sisters but mom is busty, so maybe hrt would help, maybe even partially.

thank you

According to a book I was reading about transgender is they recommend waiting a year after HRT. I have tried to get information from all over as long as it's credible.

I never took HRT because I produce my own estrogen, but I agree that if your family is well endowed you should have similar results based off your genetics. All the women on my father's side are large breasted, and I am the smallest at an E cup pushing an F. 

"When" you get them in my case is rather baffling. I obtained B cups most of my adult life that slowly progressed to C cups. I believe it was that my testosterone levels dropped enough to allow the estrogen to do its work that sent me into the late in life growth spree. So HRT on testosterone blockers should do the same thing?

 

I remember from my teens that growth was slow, I spent about 3 years growing breasts. Patience is a virtue 😉

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.

      I'm doing "beans and rice" for dinner tonight, but it's Punjabi style red bean curry and saffron rice, and I always have an appetizer tray of cut vegetables and dip (seasoned yogurt to go with the theme) on the table.  Might grab a package of naan from the store on the way home, or just make a pan of very american biscuits to go with.

      I'm volunteering both days of our Pride Festival (signing other volunteers in, lol).    Taking my two younger kids (oldest is way too cool for school, lol) to a family friendly pride festival, and then turning them loose at the city wide event while I listen to music. They're old enough to experiment with independence and the festival is in a controlled enough space they can feel like they're getting away from me without being *that* far away. My middle is newly out as LGBTQ+ and has been practicing their makeup look for a couple weeks already (age 14) <3

      Well today was mostly sleeping so far. I woke up at around 0600 and made sure my oldest was ready for school. I came back down on the computer chair and next thing I knew it was 0953. I went through speech therapy for myself. Next thing I realize it's 1300 and apparently went to sleep again. I knew I slept last night but whew apparently not enough.

      Jeans, grey henley, heathered grey blazer with elbow patches, split sole jazz sneakers. Blazer is one of my favorite wardrobe pieces and it's warm but super windy today so perfect sort of day for it

      Fragile is my word of the day. More intense dysphoria than my baseline normal, feeling emotionally on edge. Also ignoring a piece of therapy homework that's actually going to be beautiful when it's done (I'm doing an art piece exploring emotions around the name I was given at birth).

      Got accosted in a grocery store parking lot this morning by someone out on a petition drive (in my state, citizens can gather petition signatures to advance ballot measures; I'm always a little cautious about encountering petition drives "in the wild" because unless it's an issue that's been talked about *a lot* it can also be used as a way to just gather voter information).   ANYWAY, the person with the clipboard is presumable cis male and aggressive and I'm AFAB, genderfluid, dressed pretty androgenously this morning and this guy hollars across the parking lot asking "young lady" if I'm a registered voter.   Informed him I'm neither young nor a lady (guy was at least a decade younger than me, maybe more) and wasn't interested in the petition anyway.   "Oh, so I guess you're just offended then."   "YEP!"
