Hi there, my names Cara, I'm MTF and been on hrt for about 8 months now. I'm 24 years old and have been getting good results in many areas. My breast are developing and I've come to understand what the different pains associated with growth are telling me.
Today, I was walking through the mall when I sharp pain hit my left breast. I'm used to this and just continued on my shopping. Then it felt almost like something popped open and I almost felt like a rushing sensation. Like a dam opening. I swear to me the feeling was nearly audible. It kicked the breathe out of me for a moment. I talked with a dear friend of mine and she said that she remembered something like that happening to her when she was going through puberty and that my glands had finally awakened.
I'm just curious if any others on here have experienced this? It's incredibly exciting time!
Thanks!
Cara ^_^

Yes, it's normal. Tenderness and pains are common. I've been on HRT for over 19 years. Switched to a new type of E 7 months ago and am still having the odd pain in the breast. Not to mention having grown a few cup sizes :o For me at least it has never stopped.

Nothing like that no.
But they still get sore from time to time. I switched to injections (again) a couple weeks ago and they've been VERY sore ever since. I'm scheduled to dose in 2 days and they've stopped being sore. They grew a lil bit though :)

Thank you ^_^ it hasn't happened before or since, but it was very interesting to say the least. I'll probably talk to my Doctor about it next time I go for a check up.

sometimes they get itchy, sometimes the circumfrance area hurts a little from stretching. Other times only the "zing zing" part. Never anything under the breast, everything very surface and skin related.
