Hormone update

Heya Girlies,

Well, almost 3 months into my HRT, been noticing things.

Mostly..My Nipples HURT LIKE HELL..lol.
And they have buds underneath, well my right side is like 3 weeks ahead of my left side. (Normal right?)

But WOW..I can not touch them without pain, lol.

Anyway...My Endo reviewed my Bloodwork last week and has increased both my Estradiol and Spiro since I was not in the correct range after 2 months. I was like really? My boobs hurt, noticed a minimal growth and I'm "not" in female range yet?
I wonder what will happen once I do get to the levels?

Time will tell.

*hugs*

Mine still has a lot of sharp pain when I touch them. I've been on a full dose for 8 months now. Without anything touching them I can tell there's a dull pain. Comes and goes. Good thing I suppose. My levels haven't been measured in a while but last time E2 was around 400.

I think your results sound very encouraging.

Started E & Progesterone & Spiro in March. Levels checked on 7/31 still low. Endo dbled my E last week. After 5 mos. still seeing no breast dev. or sensitivity. Maybe its due to my age: 67. I guess I just need to be patient, it's not that I'm a masochist and looking forward to the pain (of development) but my patience is being tested.

Ahhhh I recall the sensitivity around my budding boobies.... such a tender time

Sounds like you are well on your way now... congrats

Thank you all.

My NEW higher dosage is in effect as of today. Hoping for the best.

We all need to hang in there and let time work. When my Ticker started on day 1 I was so excited and I checked every day for change for a week. haha

I know it takes time but I was in the moment that I started finally. I then decided to just let time and Hormones do their work.
I started a new job yesterday so all is ok so far.

I miss the constant pain. It meant I knew they were growing. Now it comes and goes. They have about a B depth, but very little volume which makes wearing a bra difficult, but I need to because I can't hide them anymore.

I too have B depth and full A roundness. I am 53 and on HRT 26 months.

The changes are so subtle, but measurable!

I took my measurements about a week after starting hormones and again last night, so about 7 weeks apart, give or take.

In that time, my band size has dropped an inch, but my bust only a half inch, meaning I'm a half-inch bigger in the boobies! LOL. My waist has also dropped a half inch.

None of this is noticeable to even a discerning eye, but the changes are happening!

So happy for you. My chest appears to protrude more but maybe I'm imagining things. lol
