Questions about boobulation

[AnamethatstartswithE]

Alright so I've been on hormones since the end of August, and my boobs are starting to become breast shaped. It feels like they're pointing outwards too much. I'm assuming that as they fill out that won't be as pronounced. Though I do worry that it might be due to my rib cage being too large. Also due to this outward pointing my arms bump them A LOT. When do they stop just hurting and become more sensitive?

I have been on HRT since January.  Hurting is good, because it means they are still growing.  (Unless you bonked them, in which case if means be more careful!)  A padded bra will make them less susceptible to bumping, as well as having other advantages.

Having widely-separated breasts is just a fact of life for trans women, due to the larger-than-cis rib cage.  Just one more thing to make bra-fitting more diffficult; sigh.  I don't know about them pointing outwards, but it is likely due to the shape of your rib cage.

The constant low level pain and sensitivity caught me by surprise. Its quite distracting. Since I tower over most females the only way I can see to balance the look is hope they keep growing big enough to look right on my big rib cage.

I relished it when the low level pain and sensitivity started. It was a constant reminder of progress being made.

It stops and starts again from time to time and each time it starts I can see more progress.

I suspect the padded bra might be helpful, but my personal preference is no padding.

Best wishes

Yes, they start out being more pointy than the shape they will be. As far as the pain subsiding, it comes and goes as you continue growing. I don't there is a specified time for them to stop hurting, since it is different for all of us. So take happiness in the pain because it means you are growing in the area you would like!!!!

My wife laughs at me because every time I accidentally hit my boob on something and it hurts, at first I say "Ow!" but then I get this feeling of utter happiness as I know they hurt because they are growing, and she knows I LOVE that.

  My boobs also seem to be a little further apart from each other than I would prefer, but as has been mentioned, I recognize that this is due to the shape of my rib cage.  It's just one of those things us transwomen have to deal with and it sucks.  I just measured across my chest, and I have 9.25 inches from one nipple to the other.  Interesting.  I wonder how that compares to other transwomen and ciswomen.

Mine are the same way, and it's pretty difficult to get them together for some nice cleavage.
Even if you don't need the support, I highly recommend wearing a bra of some sort. Any extra padding will help if you bump them (and you will!).
Denise is correct, the general pain & irritation comes and goes, but bumping them never doesn't hurt (so far).

9" even for me.

8 1/2" for me, 5'11", medium shoulder broadness, next to no muscle mass.  I'm a AAA after 5 months.  These things take time, and more estrogen doesn't speed things along if your levels are those of a female's; throwing in progesterone can round things out, according to some.

Spent a little while trying to figure out typical distances for GG's; a Chinese beauty contest was criticized for rejecting contestants under 7.8" or so.  A few links were aimed at artists, like this:  Human Anatomy Fundamentals: Muscles and Other Body Mass  Semi NSFW, if your employer is prudish about sketches.  If they can't handle a sketch of the female form they're probably not ready for having a transsexual around, I reckon...

LOL i was just wondering how long my breasts would be sore like this. 

[Jessica]

My nipples are 9.5" apart and my wife's are 8"

[Deborah]

You all got me curious so I got out my tape measure.  Mine are 9.5" with a fair amount of muscle.

Well this topic took a strange turn. I measured mine and it's a bit over 10" though I guess I have quantum boobs because I think moving my arms to measure them changes the outcome.

8.25 nipple to nipple

keep your elbows in!  exhale!

[Jessica_Rose]

Thanks for the quantum boobs comment, it made me laugh! I had a root canal a few hours ago and needed something to cheer me up.

I'm 6' 1", almost a 36A and my nipples are about 8.75 inches apart. I started on estradiol only in March and did get a little growth, but once spiro was added they started growing much more quickly. They do hurt most of the time, but the pain just makes me smile! I keep thinking of the saying 'Smile, it makes people wonder what you are up to!'

Do the nipples get closer together at all as the boobs grow or is pre-HRT nipple measurement consistent you think?

New terminology, boobulation.  Yay, I learned something today!

Just because English already has the largest vocabulary of any language doesn't mean we can't run up the scoreboard.

We are boobulating right now and after we are finished with boobulation, we will have boobulated
