Omg I just hit my right breast bud (and it also seems to be the smaller one) is this going to damage at tissues and inhibit growth??? So worried!!!! :(((((
No. Your body is a lot more resilient than you think.
Hurts like heck though.? Everything is fine, but sure is exciting isn't it.
My doctor only said "Don't squeeze them!". Anything else should be fine so long as you're not bruised or bleeding. :P
While my breasts are sore all the time, for some reason they only get really rip-roaring painful around 4 am when I often wake up to use the bathroom. Stumbling around in the dark = door frame! Hurts like hell then but no harm done. At least after five months on Estrace they aren't hard buds any longer - there's some softening and fat padding to cushion the blow.

I know the feels it stings like a b**** doesn't it?
eggy_nog, out of curiousity how long have you been on hormones?
As for me, I'm a little over 1 week on hormones now. There's noticeable little mounds in the breast area. They are quite soft too! Sometimes there's discomfort and itchiness, but it's not really bad.... yet
Wait till you catch them on the car door :o :o :o
ouch.. breast buds are sensitive little things...
I remember i knocked mine a lot.. and it hurts i know...
Doing yoga and having to lie on your front...not pleasant at all! Mine aren't achingly sensitive any more but as soon as I put pressure on them they protest. I used to enjoy sleeping on my stomach, not any more!

YES this is the same for me too... I can't sleep on my front :embarrassed:
A week? I'm almost a month in, albeit on a half-dose, and still nothing :(
They take some getting used to. I learned the hard way to not lean through the car window at the drive-up teller, And to not carry boxes and stuff high up anymore. I am taking a break from Martial Arts for a while ( to save $$) but I can't imagine what sparring will be like now....if someone hits me in the chest, there's going to be Hell to pay....lol.
And 3 yr olds who like to play the 'drums' on your chest
during breast bud stage, I had to learn not to sleep on my stomach..
it gets substantially less painful as they grow
I hit one with a car door when they were first coming in... I about died
I keep hearing about the painful breast bud situation, but it didn't ever happen to me during transition. I have a B cup thing going on now, but I keep wondering when this is going to happen to me. Then I remembered. This happened to me when I was 12. I had moobs!

Yep, gentle is fine. It was just that in my case I could almost immediately squeeze clear fluid out of the nipples once the development started. This was kinda fascinating to me but my doctor was worried I might damage the developing glandular tissue. Now I tend to just massage them every so often to keep the soreness down. If I handle them too much in one go the nipples get irritated.
Thankfully my chest doesn't hurt much during the day because my electrolysis tech rests her forearm directly across my right boob for two hours straight! Now that I've grown a little padding it helps in this situation.

I never got moobs but at the start of puberty I had extremely painful hard lumps behind the nipple. These stung more than at any time during my current development. They eventually went away completely but at the time I was absolutely terrified I was growing breasts. I'm at least glad that transition has put me somewhat in control of this. Had they happened before I knew what I wanted I would have been mortified because I was deathly shy at the time.

I had the clear fluid thing too! Although I never squeezed the actual breast bud, only just below it. It's stopped now and they seem to be growing so hopefully I didn't do any damage :P
Oh hey i work on trucks /tractors and stuff at my job . Slipped off stand and landed boob first on fender ..Had to scream under my breath because nobody knows about me yet.WHEN I FEEL AROUND my breast i can feel outline of muscle development that goes about 5 inch diameter .Try this take finger start at nipple go in circle you will feel muscle under skin ( where theres no muscle growth feel breast bone ) .Does this work for you??
I found a site where someone suggested to massage them nightly. It helps a lot if you got really tender ones. Use the palms of your hands, and go easy with the pressure.
Wearing a bra (Genie works with me) helps too, keeps down the impact shock from whacking yourself when doing things.
And then there's the shopping for your first bra experience. Oh, my. Courage, I can do this. OMG....who am I kidding? Run for it!!!
Nah, order online. Nothing to be gained rubbing store clerks the wrong way.

Buying your first bra is one of the most best experiences EVER! I remember at the counter when I was going ohmigish ohmigosh omigosh then when my turn came to play I blushed a really deep red I could feel the flush and heat surge through my cheeks, but trust me it really feels truly awesome after getting your first store bought bra.
omg I literally did it again and to the same one... WHY DO I NOT LEARN!!! :( And I always get so worried that the one which keeps being impacted will become the smaller boob... IT'S ALREADY SMALLER ANYWAY bahhh ???
Eggy, really?
Women through history have grown boobs. Bumping them hurts but it does not stunt growth.
If you are really worried, bump the other one next time. :P
Why do you bump them? I wondered the same thing. Happens far less now, but when they are brand new, it happens a LOT. Perhaps the pain is to teach us to STOP IT.
I've noticed that my breast pain varies during the course of any given day, and it's different each day, although there is always some level of soreness/tenderness and pain if I hit something. I've noticed an increase since I switched to injections from sublingual estradiol.

Very likely we did it all the time before we start to grow them, it just didn't hurt then!
I'm just amazed that my cat somehow just knew once I was on HRT long enough, "Oh! I can stand here and here now to get your attention!"
Cats know these things... they are evil!

I hope you take this as it is meant.
When mine started growing I went to a (sexy) bra shop and told them i was growing boobs and needed a bra. They measured me, brought me a bra, showed me how to adjust it, including for 'special' times.
No girl laughed, no one said her's were bigger. Girls have boobs. We deal with them. :laugh:
I would imagine that we have all gone through that initial sensitive growth period to some degree, after awhile you learn not to bump them
Best way I can describe it is that you learn/develop a certain type of 'Boob Fu' to protect them
