Title: I'm assuming this is a good sign
Post by: AnamethatstartswithE on October 19, 2017, 05:20:45 PM
Hello all,

I am a few days shy of 2 months on hrt, and I'm starting to get a bit of an ache behind my left nipple. I'm hoping this means I'm starting to bud.

If so, let the boobification begin.

Mine started kicking in around then, so there's a pretty good chance.  If you feel a lump behind the areola that's an even better sign.  Just be sure not to press directly in on the nipple while feeling for it, youch!

Thank you, the changes do seem to be picking up with my face, I'm 35 and I've been carded twice this week😊 This weekend I'm going to friend from college's wedding, I'm curious about how they'll react to my appearance. (I'm not out to any of them in case you were wondering)

If you haven't seen them in a while expect some "wow you look a bit younger" or "wait, you shaved?" kind of reactions.  I mostly got the latter, but not as much as I expected.  People see changes but either shut up about it, or mentally ignore them. 

For example today (still boy mode at work until the 30th) I ran into a customer of mine that had not seen me in about a year, her official reaction was "wow you lost your beard!" but I noticed her eyeballing me pretty hard to figure me out afterward.  No big surprise, my hair is down to my shoulders, my eyebrows have been done, I'm letting girl voice leak through, and I have pierced ears now.  But she didn't say anything else, but wow was she staring when she thought I couldn't see her reflection.

Yep that probably means the boobs are gonna start to form. You might notice your nipples getting a bit bigger and harder as well.

I started getting mine after about three weeks, so I would say yes, you are due, and that is most likely what it is.  Bring on the boobies!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Mine started about 3 week mark and everything you brush against or touching will cause pain. Yes, like the others said if you feel like a knot behind the nipple that is them developing. I got a funny response from someone at work today. He stopped me in the aisles and looks me up and down and stops at the chest and I am like "oh great what is he going to say?" He says "oh you got some nice muscles..........." I awkwardly say "yes, yes, I do have some muscles." It just made me laugh after like "oh honey bless your soul because it's not muscles at all, LOL." So have fun and enjoy the changes to come!!!!!

Jailyn, I'm surprised a guy would do that to someone he thinks is a guy to begin with. How long have you been on HRT?  What do you do for work?
