Generous4. How are you feeling?

Breasts are very heavy, full.  We will be bringing in my milk in mid-October.  I am ready.

Are you using Motilium?  Are you wearing nursing bras?

You can read about the induced lactation protocol here: http://asklenore.com/breastfeeding/induced_lactation/gn_protocols.shtml

My NP says I should wait for milk to come in before getting a nursing bra.  Still size changes to come, hard to imagine.  [Gen4 shakes head in wonder.]

Nursing my partner like mad.  When she goes to work, pumping like mad.  Hydrating like mad.  My NP is delighted with my state.

Chances are that your partner is going to be a chubby baby!

I'm glad I found this thread. I've been reading all the lactation threads I could locate here. Looks like there's been a few.

Anyway, my bf noticed I started lactating two weeks ago, when we were out of town. It was a pleasant surprise though. I was pretty shocked and amused by it. In a few days the left one started to actually squirt. Now the right one does, too. I really don't mind, as I'd previously heard it was possible and can be a different sort of bond for two people to share (my boobies get no peace now).

I don't believe I did anything in particular to trigger it. I've been on spiro/prog/estradiol for 3 years ~ In the past I've massaged them a little daily..just incidental massage. I also took my estradiol shot a week early when we noted it. I also noticed the nipples were feeling a bit sore for a while, like they did in the early weeks of E. But that's all I can think of. :\

Thanks ladies, it's good to see so much information about it. I will phone my endo about this asap now, too.

Lactation has been a secret desire for many years.  I'm 18 months oh HRT and my nipples get damp, but allas, no more.  I quit progesterone about three weeks ago due to a hair problem, and since having real hair is more important than lactating (barely) I'm going to try something else.  Every Friday is injection day and maybe I can talk to my doctor about a temporary increase in my injections.  Maybe as a gender specialist she'll be a little more open to the idea.

May update: Producing very well, abbondanza.  We are very happy.

I actually experimented a bit with lactation once, years before I even started HRT. I read an article on the internet about men being able to lactate under certain circumstances, and I really wanted to try it myself. I'm not sure how I managed it, but after spending several days doing breast massages and stimulating my nipples, I actually was able to produce some colostrum. I guess it must have been sheer willpower or something. After the first time I produced, I stopped doing the massages, and I was never able to duplicate my earlier results. It was still pretty cool that I was able to do that though, because that was the most like a girl that I had ever felt up to that point. ...How was it that it took me so long to figure out I was transgender again?
