Really sorry to do this... but boob question? xD

[Carley Anne D]

Hi everybody, I haven't posted in a really long time, I had a lot to figure out and deal with. Anyways, this is my third day on HRT, and I was wondering... How do you know your boobs are growing? Sorry if this is in the wrong place, if it is hopefully a mod can move it.  I keep feeling small twinges of pain in my chest area, and my nipples are erect fairly often. But I was wondering if that's possible this early? I'm young and my family gets their boobs at like nine years old but still, shouldn't it at least be two weeks or something? And if they are growing, any words of advice from anyone? Also, I'm worried that although my chest isn't overly large my boobs might look weird, like grow out to the side O.o any help or input would be amazing, thanks ladies!:D

It is not unheard of for nipple sensation to occur this early. Are you only on an anti androgen right now or "E" as well? Sounds like genetics could be great in your family for their formation anyway.

Best and true way is measurements, use a sewing flex measure.

Measure just under your breast line, like where a bra would lay.
measure just over your nipples
measure above your breasts like under your arms.

Keep tracking these measurements is the true way to gauge breast growth.

I am on anti-androgens and hormones, I started them both at the same time three days ago, prolly should have mentioned the AAs before, sorry

[Jessica Merriman]

I did what Izzy did and started a journal with weight and measurements at the start of HRT. That way you know it is not just in your head because you can measure real progress. I measured everything such as major muscle circumference, weight, height, chest, etc.

I can't quite remember , but I think my nipple pain started the first week on E and AA's

[Carley Anne D]

I guess it makes sense, and I'm going to start keeping sizes written xD I was just curious because everything I've heard is that its a dull pain? So I was weirded out because I keep getting random stabbing pains that literally make me feel like someone jabbed a hot needle in there >_<

Just wait until the itching starts!!

[Hikari]

They seem to hurt no matter how much, or how little they grow

[Stephanie2]

I was lucky, over the years, starting with pueraria mirifica and later with bovine ovary, I had very little discomfort. I think since it was a slow process, maybe that was why. Just some soreness now and then on the breast and nipples.

[Carley Anne D]

Yeah. I'm sure it'll get worse, I still worry I won't get boobs or something so I guess its a good thing, cause hopefully since its this early and my genetics I won't have to worry for long XD

[Tori]

I am starting to worry mine won't stop growing.

Be careful what you wish for.

^^ this!

Dull pain and itching??? Bah... just wait till You bump them into something... Lots of fun for nearby people to watch how in split seconds  Your facial expression undergoes drastic changes (from sudden surprise to painful realisation). It gets less painful with time though and Your body learns its new boundaries and gets different spatial awareness (like "wanna lean against wall? hands first, body second" lol).

No kidding or puppies and kittens think they are toys!

Haha I'm very clumsy so I am pretty worried about the spacial reasoning thing... I tend to just be bad at... Well moving my body in any way xD that's what I get for being a nerd, kept my body petite though lol. Another question, I'm six foot two and 155 pounds... I seriously look almost sick and I'm getting crap from my family for it constantly lol, my question is, would gaining weight help with my boobs? And I've heard about people cycling their weight, by like ten pounds, raising and lowering it repeatedly, to help fat redistribution. Does anyone think this would work? Sorry to bug gals, just curious also, thanks for all your help on the responses before everyone, its very appreciated!

Pain is excellent teacher and will teach Your body its new discipline (OMG, this almost sounds like BDSM related, lol). 6'2" and 155 lbs? I am 5'9" and 162... I wish I was 155 . You will notice that it will be easier to gain weight on HRT and more difficult to get rid of that, but eating up should really help. You might need to cycle Your weight in the beginning, cause within first weeks/months Your body will still respond in "male pattern", so You might need to burn some fat away and hope the new one comes in other places . But no worries, Your metabolism will slow down very gradually too (though it might be YMMV case) - I was very much physically capable during first 3-4 months of HRT which helped me to loss some extra 2-3 kilos.
And yeah, You need to eat to get that subtle fat layer on Your face and to fill out "them" .

I am so nervous and excited I should be starting on Friday both e patches and Spurlock tone

[Cindy]

Your BMI is 21 which is about perfect so don't get put off by what people say!

And watch out for car doors, Jeez they hurt when the decid to leap into the boobage

[Lauren5]

It's highly variable. From what I've read, don't expect to be needing a bra for support until at least 3 month, if not 6, months in. My own experience is on the weirder side, since I didn't eat much months 2 and 3 on HRT since I couldn't afford to, breat growth pretty much stopped. They appear to fill about 1/3 of a 36B bra (I'm normally a 34 band (the add 5 is never right, don't add 5 to your underbust for a band size) but this is what I have, mostly donated from a friend. I'm going to go shopping tomorrow to see if I can get inserts or a good 34A pushup, cause I don't want any padding showing when I wear shirts with lower cuts on the neck) so that'd make them around an A for 34 (a friend said they were pushing Bs, I had to doubt that) which I never expected them around there for 3 months in. Genetics could play a part in it too, my mother and grandmother are both 36DDs.
