Injectable Harmones

[debisl]

I just went today for my quarterly injectible hormones and check-up. I asked my doc if they were supost to make my boobs sore/nipples sensitive. She said in a jokeing way " mine are sore every month when I have my period" . She said yes it was normal. Have any of you experienced this. When I was just on the pils I had no soreness once they had grown. Since I started this they are sore for a few days and it goes away.

Oddly enough, mine rarely hurt, yet they have kept on growing.  Yes, I'm on injectibles too.  Unfortunately, right now is one of those times they DO hurt.

I think mine have stopped growing. I have no complaints on what I have. I probably would not notice it so much but I ride my horse everyday and they bounce. I notice it when I get in the shower and lather up they are just sore  as can be. I did not have this until I started injections. Hell maybe they will grow some more. Only time will tell.

Thanks for the reply

I've noted the effect.

I also have noted an increase in pain and sensitivity, following my nightly progesterone dose.

No lactation has been observed and growth appears to be aggressive and substantial.

The IM mode of administration appears to be clearly superior in effect to that of oral [sub-lingual] "E", for me.

With injections, estrogen levels can vary a lots, initially, at injection, this makes the breast grow a bit (like a women who's got her period) as the tissue expand, then when the estrogen level goes down, prolactin levels increase which stimulates the milk glands which produce a small amount of milk like substance (colustrum) which is released inside the breast which slightly distends it (thus the tension). This liquid is resorbed after awhile and the tension subsides and the breasts diminishes in size, until the next injection. For some, it gives differences of up to half a cup during their cycle, for others, the breast barely varies in size (though it may still hurt).
