So it's finally been a month, or 4 weeks, depending on how you look at it. I definitely have had some changes at this point and I've been feeling happier and more calm as a result. I wanted to break down the changes that I've had so far.
Breast Development
So I've had some breast development, as I stated in another post. My Right breast is noticeably bigger than the left breast, which started in week 3, though since then not much has changed in the way of growth, at least not that I've noticed. I've noticed small lumps around the areola area underneath the skin, as well as the areola seeming to be slightly larger. The lumps aren't painful to the touch anymore. The nipples on the other hand are tender to the touch. If I touch them, they cause a pain that ranges from dull to sharp knife, but there is no ball or lump behind the actual nipple yet that I can tell which makes me wonder why the nipple hurts if there is no lump behind the nipple. Is that normal and just the early start to breast development? I know I shouldn't expect huge changes in the first month but I'm just curious is all especially since the areola is slightly puffed out too. Other than that, there has been some itchiness to the breasts all over, as well as some stretch marks on the underside and an occassional pain here and there in the breast area. They still kind of look like a mix between a moob and a boob, but I know that'll change as time passes. I also noticed my nipples are more conical shaped now, but they don't stay erect all the time like I've read some forum members talking about though maybe that's because of the sports bra I wear? But that's it for breast changes in the first month.
Skin
My skin has become notably softer and has even lightened up a few shades as well. Hair growth on the body has slowed down. My face has also had some slight but noticeable changes. My lips have become more plump, if that's the right word, and the jaw line isn't as sharp either, and the face as a whole has rounded slightly. My hips have also shown some width increase too. I've also noticed my body oder has changed to a more feminine smell as well.
Other Changes
I have noticed my emotion states have changed, being more calm and mellow, but also my range of emotions feels wider and more full too. I also have been quite happy too since I started as the changes have happened! I have had a decreased sex drive and the activity down there has pretty much ceased as a result from morning woods and random erections. I have noticed that when I actually do get aroused I have more control over it and the feelings I get from it feel more intense and better. I have noticed there has been some shrinkage down there as well too.
So that's been most of the changes I can list off the top of my head from one month in so far! I can't wait for month two and the changes it will bring. I'm still super excited about all the changes so far and the changes that will come but I have had to remind myself that it is a second puberty essentially so I need to be patience.
