Hey, everyone.
HRT unfortunately hasn't feminized my body all that much. I still have flat aa cup boobs. My butt did get bigger but not as big as i like, and it did give me a rounder face. I ran out of testosterone blockers but have a few estradiol pills remaining. I didn't bother finishing them the whole two weeks. I did get refills earlier the day i posted this.
The reason why i stopped temporarily is because i'm using the Noogleberry breast pumping system on my journey for ddd cup breasts. Unfortunately i won't see my doctor until later this month. I guess i didn't see the point in continuing because i'm feeling mild depression and i am hoping this Noogleberry device give me the big boobs i dream of. I would resume once i get my orchiectomy though

Have you seen any results from breast pumping? I've heard from others that it works but makes the boobs darker.

I have heard this may lead to a few hours of a larger size but the size reverts back.
I have not tried it.

I'm having this happen to me now.
But I've heard as you keep pumping for longer and more frequently, the swelling lasts longer and turns into actual growth. But then again, i've started on September 25 and have yet to see even half an inch or permanent growth.

Some thoughts:
1. You really neeed to talk to your doctor about trying injections instead of pills. With the pills, the E has to be processed through your digestive system and liver. With intramuscular injection, the pure stuff goes right into your bloodstream.
2. You need to talk to your doctor about your blood estradiol levels. YMMV, but in order to stop depression and get good feminization, I need to be at some pretty high levels of E and it's a constant battle with the doctors to keep my levels up.
3. Have you tried progesterone for breast growth?

...so it works like pumping male parts. It takes time, but it works! Too bad there isn't a JP90 routine for breasts.
I'm gonna have to look into this.

Yes, I've tried it once. One bottle of progesterone. Never bothered to refill. But then again that was a substitute doctor who prescribed it to me on my request. My main doctor was on maternity leave and she's back now. I will speak with her about this later this month.

Noogleberry seems to work for a lot of people. Annoyingly some people got a whole cup size on it in less than a month and unfortunately i wasn't one of the lucky few. I am getting a warm, burning sensation in my areolas and i highly doubt they were from the hormones, which i'm now back on.
Good luck if you decide to try it.
