Hormones, Breasts And Penis Size

Hey there ox.

Recently I've been having issues about breasts.

I have had Gender issues for about 2 years now, but ended up with the conclusion of thinking 'Its a gender... no point getting down about it'

Until the past few months, it's got to be pretty bad now, I would consider myself as Androgyne.

I've always fancied a female body, but at other times a male body.

The conclusion I came up with, is breasts.

I've had a thought which I've not changed about the genitals, which is;

The genitals you're born with work, keep it, don't get something that don't work.

I don't know the most reason stages in genital swaps, but I know it was/is true that you cannot get a fully functional genital organs. So, a MTF ending up giving birth, and have working ovaries with eggs and periods.

So I decided to actually keep my genitals, as I would like to be a dad later on in my life when being stable enough to do so.

What I decided that I would be perfectly happy with, is breasts.

I have been letting females go on Webcam, not for pervert reasons. They have breasts of course, and I feel like they should be on me instead.

It gets me down an awful lot.

I am 15, coming to 16, I'm going to wait atleast another 2 years or so before I actually get them, to make sure it is what I feel I should need.

The question I'm actually wanting to know the answer to.

As what I found out with female hormones, they develop breasts, but they also shrink the penis size, due to lack of testosterone. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I would like to know, if I started hormones later on in the future, how I'd be able to keep my penis size without it shrinking at all?

Thank you.

I don't think there is a way to take estrogen and grow breasts without shrinking your penis. Also, after enough time, you'll become sterile from taking the hormones (I think about 3 months). It is possible that you just get implants... but I think you'll still need a little more skin in that area for implants to really work..

Well -we are not physicians nor are we therapists. What you ask for is an opinion which we can give, most of us basing on what we hear or what has happened to us.

You really need to talk with a gender dysphoria trained therapist before you do ANYTHING.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not get on illegal hormones - they are dangerous if unsupervised! You can have serious cardio-vascular damage, and you can destroy your liver.

That said - what you want? You want to be a virile male with breasts. OKAY - using hormones to grow breasts will have good and bad effects. I am MTF in transition - 4 1/2 months, so I speak from that experience. Taking enough hormones for breast development, essentiall chemically castrates you. The effects are pretty much permanent after awhile. That route also give you natural breast tissue, but it may not be what you are looking for, usually a cup size smaller than your genetic mother or female relatives. Many transpeople are okay with that - many want breast augmentation by surgery. And please understand you must be recommended by a therapist for HRT. Breast augmentation is usually simplier to obtain.

So do you simply have surgical breast augmentation? Perhaps - if you can get it. But understand these are not natural breasts. You will keep your verility though.

There is also an illegal breast-pumping technique - where nontrained people will give you commercial grade silicone injections - THESE ARE DEADLY, and they tend to migrate all over your body, sometimes straight to hour heart's blood supply. DEADLY remember

So what can be done? Well - wear breast prothesis - enhansers - silicone inserts.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your replies.

Yes, I would get referred for HRT if I were to do so.

Thing is with breasts, the only real way to get natural breasts is HRT right?

I want natural breasts, and its tricky..

I don't fancy the idea of breasts which dont feel natural.

It's a trade off. HRT is the only way to grow breasts naturally. The down side is, your genitals will atrophy, you will become sterile and your sexual libido will drop to very little or nothing. To receive HRT, you must see a gender therapist who, if he determines that you are transsexual, will write a letter of recommendation to a doctor for you to begin HRT. The doctor will probably insist on a full physical first to determine what hormones you can safely take. Taking hormones unsupervised can likely result in thrombosis, liver disease, stroke and heart attack. Are you willing to risk that? I'd think twice about this if I were you.

Dear Jeanie,

You do not have to face this all by yourself! That is what gender therapists are for. It is not your decision to take hormones, it is your doctor's. One step at a time dear, if you want to have a fully functioning penis then you do not want to take hormones! If your penis is just something that you need to change then talk to your doctor!! Breasts... well so many bio-women would like to have larger breasts!!

Take care and be smart about hormones, don't treat HRT as a hobbie!!

LOL

Even though you say nothing artificial or added you may try Breast Forms and walk around with that feeling for awhile..if you like that and you are happy with your genitalia think of implants a size A" would probably do..I've often fantasized about that myself..SHAKE PARTNER!!!

Breasts forms are quite costly... I've been looking.

As I mentioned for hormones (i think)

If I was to take them, I'd not do it on my own. It's not something that I'm going to get tomorrow.

I know about the affects, and I'm not willing to risk it.

I just asked a general question, to see what would be best at this moment...

Sorry if it never came across that way.

What If I were to do HRT, what about if I then went back onto testosterone after feeling satisfied with the boobs? What would happen there, would the verility come back etc.

Jeanie -

I have the same issue as you about breasts. I want them so badly but don't want HRT because I don't want to lose my male abilities but maybe one day I will change my mind. I would only do it under a doctor's supervision.

Maybe implants are the answer, but that makes it hard when I want to pass as male, like at the gym or swimming pool and such. I might get to the point where it would be worth it to have the implants.

Right now I have breast forms and I love them, I feel great when I wear them. I can get depressed though when I dwell too much on the fact that they aren't real and I want real ones.

I wish I had a good answer.

Some masculine characteristics would come back. You would still be sterile, but you would probably start growing hair again... hairy boobs...

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
