Several months ago I was in the bathroom giving myself a once over for any lumps and bumps in or around my breasts. With a little bot of pressure i would get some fluid leaking from the nipple. This is completely natural. What freaked me out and sent me into a panic like no other was when blood came out. I figured every doomsday scenario possible was happening to me. I immediately stopped what i was doing and got online to research bleeding nipples. It would turn out that this is quite common in the development of breasts. The glands grow faster than they should and the walls stretch and bleed. I went to see my doctor immediately to make sure that is all it was and he confirmed it was nothing to worry about. Just to be safe I had an ultrasound done to make sure. (grand moments of womanhood, woohoo) everything came back fine and now that my breasts are developing further the blood has decreased to almost none.
This one of those things that nobody EVER told me about at all. turns out that my ex-girlfriend had the same thing happen when she hit puberty. I wanted to share this little bit of information with the group just in case anyone experiences this. You are not going to die. The most that might happen is having your hormone dosage lowered for a little while.

Actually, if you go on the internet to sites geared for teen girls and lookup information on these lumps, you'd get the same info you got. Irregular breasts tissue at puberty is very frequent and its never cancer.
I always wonder why TS don't look up info on the internet more often. If your going through puberty, go to sites for those geared towards those going through puberty. These girls are not in your age group (probably, except from some lucky TS) but they are living some of the same body issues.
