Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi everyone! I started spiro a little over a month ago, and I started Estrogen 17 days ago, and I've noticed that there are lumps under my nipples (the left one much much bigger than the right one) and my left breast has gotten larger (just slightly, but noticeable, and the right one has not really changed size).

I've read that most people don't see anything until months and months after starting E. So I'm very very confused. I also haven't noticed that much increase in sensitivity. Everyone said I would notice an almost painful amount of sensitivity, and it's been pretty small. Is this normal? Should I think about calling my doctor up?

To be honest I'm a little freaked out! Any input would be amazing!

Thank you!

I think that you have nothing to worry about. The lumps under my nipples happened within a short time and one breast growing larger is also nothing to worry about. One of mine is just a little larger. I also had little to no discomfort that they call growing pains. Seems different for different people, so I wouldn't see a doctor just yet! Let us know of your progress!

I think you're fine. Absolutely call your Doctor if you're nervous, though. I noticed growth behind the nipple at about three weeks, and my right breast is usually more developed than the left, but Lefty has her days too, and catches up!  ;D

Hugs, Devlyn

Yay! you are growing boobies :)

Everyone grows at different speeds and as everyone else has stated this seems normal. The painful sensitivity came for me once my breasts had budded, and they didn't synchronize on this either.... So pretty much I had a ping pong ball on one side but not the other for about 2 weeks....

Overall though if you are ever worried about something your body is doing, please do contact your doctor.

It's totally normal, I had this experience around the same time, but as they grow you'll notice the lumps will disappear, but I've noticed as the nipple develops, the sensitivity kicks in, sore at first but then after time the sensitivity becomes pleasurable, tho the sore feeling seems to come back when there's a growth splurt, so it's just something that happens when their growing, I've even herd they itch for some, you may also want to know, that the key hormone for nipple development is progesterone, if your not on progesterone it's probably why you haven't had this experienced yet, but all of it is perfectly normal.

Thank you all so much this makes me feel much better!

Nipples just love them some estrogen! Nothing to worry about, welcome to your second puberty.

Yep, those are breast buds, and it's normal. :) I first felt them at 5 days on HRT, and I thought I had to be making it up, too! The sensitivity may come later, but it may not; I never had major soreness, and had no troubles  with development.
