Title: Breast growth and exercise
Post by: Jessica on July 26, 2018, 05:59:20 PM
Hi girls 🙋‍♀️ Some of you may know that I have been running with a group of women for awhile now.  During our training runs I have noticed when I do a sprint for a minute or so, after I slow up my breasts are on fire.  I have to hold them close till they settle down.  Burning itch is how it feels.
I personally think it may be a sign of energized growth.  I have been blessed with my mothers boob genes and I do realize ymmv is real.  But have any other girls noticed this happening to them?  As a reference, I'm in my 13th month of hrt.

Hugs and smiles, Jessica

@Jessica

Please clarify if you would.... even with a firm sports bra is this happening??? 

I am a full C-cup and when I run and especially jog I always wear my firmest sports bra.  At the gym, hiking, etc, I can get away with a more comfortable medium or low support sports bra. 

When you say "burning itch" that is exactly the feeling I had when they were still growing at about 6 - 9 months of HRT.

@Jessica,
Dear Jess, Since you are at the ONE YEAR point in your HRT perhaps that uncomfortable feeling will finally subside.
One can hope!!!

Danielle, it is that same burning itch that is the sign of something good.
When I run, the girls need to be secured firmly with a sports bra!
The thought just occurred to me that this is a growth spurt, happening right now. 
I get the blood flowing when running and awake they are!

Hugs while scratching, Jess

I don't go running any more, and dog walking isn't energetic enough to simulate that effect. 

However, I do get that feeling if I trot down stairs without a bra.  I used to always trot down stairs, but I had to learn to glide, or the girls would complain.  I also get that feeling when I re-orient myself, such as getting up out of bed.  As soon as I go from horizontal to vertical, they complain.

I take it as a good sign that there is still something happening there.

I am about three and half years in to HRT and earlier this spring, while running with a training group, I never had that feeling. Mind you, only small growth for me. I am considering a BA for proportion and moderate size. I would be very happy with a full C! I had to stop running as I injured my calf. Running has always been my exercise of choice but my calf  always acts up - even with physio.  I injured it, tore a muscle, while training for my Boston qualifying time. I was in the best shape I had ever been in and running was right on track ( 3:28). Hopefully you 'buzz' is a positive thing for growth!
Keep on Running!

Interesting, I have a different angle on that.... when I have a spiro moment at 2am, just sitting up quietly, then when I lean forward to stand up, mine light up.

I go running, biking, skating, the list goes on quite often. I had the exact same thing at first. Now I just ( 16 months in ) get fire engine red boobs and my face turns big red , red. xD

Exercise is excellent for hrt because it gets the blood flowing to all parts of the body, and in turn distributes the hormones more evenly and thouroughly. ( sp , sorry, german here ) However, a good diet is important too, not enough food, no growth.
