Breast Development


Raven1981

Recommended Posts

I just have to share that one of the best things I love about having breast now is that it is a grate place to hold my cell phone.  

 

The downside is that I have to stay away from edges cause I have hit myself on desk edges and it hurts.

 

What's everyone else story on their breast development?

Hey there. Well mine have grown, they are not growing very fast. I am going to see my doctor next week for my 2nd 3 month checkup and I am going to ask her about progesterone for just a little while to see if they will fill out better. Hugs all!!!!❤

Hehe. Great stuff and something to look forward to. :)

 

When I was presenting as female at university (such a long time ago now) I used breast forms and at first, kept knocking them when I opened the door, but eventually got used to it. I think I also caught myself having more of a spring in my step as I'd go downstairs, because it made things bounce. 

 

Can't wait until they do that for real. I'm sure it won't take long for me to *not* want them to bounce, but as far as transition milestones go, I think feeling them bounce it a pretty big one, or is that just me? Hehe.

I have a appointment on Jan. 22 for the regular followup stuff but since I was recently taken off Spiro (kidney issues) I was thinking of checking to see if my current E regimen along with Progesterone might help block T and also help with breast shape and nipple development.  I'm just not sure if Progesterone will have the same affect on kidneys as the anti-androgens so that's one of my first questions for my Dr.

Omg, I can’t wait til I get some bounce going on. There’s a slight jiggle now but I’m probably going to have to wait quite a while for them to be the right size.

I love love love mine. I've trying to hide them but gave up. They're not huge but very noticeable. Most people know or suspect by now anyway. Only had one negative comment and that was by an uneducated backwoods regular customer. He's seen my entire transaction and told me to get a reduction. ?. As far as bouncing? I love it, but it hurts. I was skipping down the stairs at Ikea yesterday and had to stop and hold my chest together. I'm around 5 months hrt and my boobs have hurt for about 3 of those months. Painful but I welcome it.

Ashlee, this "uneducated backwoods customer" statement gave me a chuckle.  I guess I've had too much coffee. ?

Anyways, I'm just experiencing the jiggle at the moment but it's a constant reminder hitting a bump in the road or running.  It'll probably be awhile before I have to worry about any serious bouncing.  It'll happen soon enough.

I live in a very rural area. Its kind of dangerous for me here. Not too many people accepting of "alternative lifestyles" I don't wear a lot of makeup or anything but it's still quite obvious I'm not a cis guy. My "biker" buddies don't talk to me and I do get called things but meh. 

My breasts are only like an A cup so I'm not sure if I jiggle or bounce. It sure does hurt when they bounce though, or when the dog jumps on me and when......well,all the time lol

Ashlee ?

Lol. I’m probably going to have to put my mommy voice on for dogs more often. I agree though that boob pain is a welcome thing if it means they are growing. Ashlee, I’m getting the same laughs, giggles, people pointing fingers, and I’m not even in girl mode. But the strangest thing is when guys are driving or walking behind me they whistle and cat call until they come around and can’t figure out what I am. And sometimes it’s the same guy that gave me a dirty look an hour ago. This backwoods city sucks too.

The bounce can be uncomfortable. I don’t think it will take very long for you to decide to purchase cute comfortable and most importantly supportive bras. The padding protects from the pains of bumping something and the support is needed.

I'm still using forms. I've been on E since May and it's been slow going. I don't even think I'd fill out an AA cup right now. *sigh* But, they are growing...even if it isn't as fast as I'd like it to be. My main goal is to fill out a swimsuit this summer, so we'll see what happens. :)

Dakota, there’s no set timetable for breast growth. It’s a combination of things that can make it different for everyone. 8 months is still early for some of us. I’m just curious about how your E levels are and if you still have some time for T levels to taper off a bit more. Sometimes BMI can play a role which can be an influence on calorie intake. Collagen is a great booby promoting substance and can be in things like chicken feet soup or powder form. For some reason progesterone helps in certain cases. If your doctor has your dose set low then once it ramps up you might see a sudden growth spurt. Just let things happen in their own time or try out different foods that can help. I hear yogurt is good.

Hello All:

 

So I just wanted to share that I was talking with my mom and my sister and found out from them what size breast they had as in past tense to help me figure out what size I will most likely end of up to go off of genetics.  I found out that my mom used to be a B then she had kids and now is a C after kids and my sister was a B then she got breast augmentation to a C.  So I figure to be safe and knowing family size that I can most likely say that I am going to be staying at a B cup.  having a B cup is fine cause I figured that I am happy with either a full size B or a small C.

Amy, I was told by my gender health Doctor that I can expect one size smaller than my sisters and my mother.  So the fact that you have a B cup now is wonderful. @Amy LeBlancAre you on progesterone? 

I'm hoping to get to atleast a B cup but Since I'm adopted I have no way to determine if that will become a reality. Right now, I'm smaller than I want to be but I'm still sore and very much growing so there's still hope.

Hello Susan

 

So yes I am currently on progesterone.  Been on progesterone since November and even get one of the occasional side effects on bloating.  My therapist told me the same thing that it's usually equal to your mother or one size smaller.  But when I went to Victoria Secret and actually had them measure me and fit me so I can get the correct bra, they said that I am a 38B.

 

Other than that, I am feeling pretty good and just love myself so much and have self acceptance with me doing my transition.

 

Lots of Love

 

Amy

I want to do this too.  First, I need a little more size though.  Currently, I'm guessing my bra size is small A, I think.  Amy, that experience at VS must have been wonderful the first time you went and had that done.  You have to be confident for sure.

I could help but to say something to. Lol 

I am about a 34a and I am hoping to be a full a or b. The only problem I am having is my left is more full than my right on because of left shoulder surgery along time ago. I am going ask about progesterone or to see what we can do to even them out and hopefully without breast augmentation. 

 

Hugs all!❤

Today i was forced into running across the street while in heels. Ummm...

LoL I got da bounce!

 

And nipples!☺OMG

 

Caught my partner staring... I said,"what you looking at?"

 

He turned 50 shades of pink and said, " You got nipples!" I cracked up..!

 

Turns out I'm a solid 39B! One slightly smaller than the other. Surprisingly well formed!

 

...and yes, the bounce hurts a bit ?

 

Started HRT last April 1st week... 10 months!

Wow... Why so quickly I wonder?

The sensitivity is wild! But yes, I totally agree, one small touch to them in the wrong way hurts like crazy!

Ha @Michelle F , my partner said the same thing last night about my nipples!

The sensitivity is mitigated with  padded bra.

I am currently a 34 B, but hurting like crazy for the last two weeks or so, and a padded bra is a blessing, as is the proper fitting bra anyway.

I am currently sick, and am living on chicken soup, and wonder if I am loosing wight and if that will reduce my breast size.  I am in a weight loss competition with a certain person here :angel:

After 7 months of estradiol and spiro, I'm happy with their development. They grew faster and larger than I thought they would over this period of time. Tenderness is there, but it's not noticeable unless I press against something. I'm in nursing school, and for EKG training recently we all had to take turns being the patient. We had to remove our tops so the electrodes could be placed where they needed to go, and of course the breasts have to be touched and partially exposed. So, we were instructed ahead of time to wear light sports bras, and I was pleased with my breast appearance in them and not nervous about it. It turned out to be a very affirming experience just being one of the girls in the locker room, so to speak.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍
    • Susan R
      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      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?
