Breast growth and body changes

[Ellora]

Hi! It’s been 40 days since I started my HRT, and wanted to know a couple of questions about breast growth and body changes. 

I started noticing small changes in my chest area a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t experienced any of the pain/ sensitivity in that area yet, that so many have described feeling on the forums.  I’ve even noticed that my bra is filling out a little bit better. I currently wear a 40B (non-padded). As I look into the mirror there is more of noticeable shape like a woman’s breast, instead of a mans chest. It’s even more noticeable when I wear shirts without a bra. I’ve lost weight in my belly, so that has definitely helped.

I’m sure I will see even more of a change when I hit the three month mark, but I was wondering if I’ve only noticed the changes because of my weight loss in my belly or if I can already be getting breast growth without any pain?

Are they tender to the touch? I heard the same thing about them being painful, though my own experience so far has been occasional tenderness behind the nipple, as they started budding.

 

Losing weight in other areas would certainly make the changes on your chest more dramatic, as HRT encourages fat to hang around more in that area. Growth may become intermittent over time, but I believe they'll keep changing/adjusting for a year, possibly longer. And if you fill out a 40B already this early, sounds like you've got an interesting time ahead!

Nothing is tender yet, but I have t hit the three month mark yet. And my bra band measurement is down to 39, but I’m not going to buy anything bra unless they need more room to breath. My mom had large breasts so I do have a chance of having a nice size myself. 

At some point I might have to start wearing lose clothing if I go out in public, because my chest has gotten more looks and some comments, , but at the moment, people think I’ve been working out.

They don’t have to get huge, I would be happy to have a “hand full.” ?

This is good to hear.  Approaching the month mark and not had any significant ant growth (as to be expected) but have had occasional tenderness/discomfort around the nipples on and off. Never for too long at a time and often a few days at a time between occurrences, too.

Sounds promising, keep me posted, and I will as well. Since we are kinda close in time, maybe we could compare notes. I try to massage everyday, especially when I shower and when I apply aloe Vera and lotion. I use the aloe for my ingrown hairs and lotion to keep my skin moist.

Will do! ❤️ I am also massaging every day. I'll also take the next set of measurements soon, too!
