Susan's Place Transgender Resources

So, approaching two months on HRT and I've noticed that the nipple tenderness etc is consistently more pronounced in the left breast, which also appears to have developed a touch more fullness. Reading countless threads on here my impression is that the left side tends to lead with the right side playing catch up, so I thought I'd conduct a wholly unscientific poll to see what others' experiences are/were!

So what is/was your experience?  ;D

The left was the first tender, more fuller, you name it for me. Hugs

Mine started and grew pretty evenly up until earlier this year. The right one has taken the lead and is leaving the left behind.

Starting my second week, no tenderness yet (well, maybe a bit but that could also be because I can't keep my hands off my breasts), but the left one is definitely fuller than the right.

Left for me.  A nice feeling if as often with these things frustratingly slow progress.

Seriously.... Put the keyboard down. 8 weeks is nothing. Give it time. This takes years. It's not a race. Be calm. Be like water. Be like all those annoying hippy bumper stickers. Just be zen and let your body do its thing.

Have not noticed any difference myself.

Still growing and growing after two years.
As Isabelle said 8 weeks is nothing.

Mine are pretty proportional now but the right one was developing faster and still is I guess.

I am three months on HRT, and while I have had a noticeable change  in fullness on both sides, the left is definitely a little bigger than the right.  I have experienced no pain or tenderness, and my areola region is no different, but my nipples have gotten bigger.

I was actually quite surprised that anything has happened (I'm 58!), and it really wasn't in my game plan.  I started out on a very low dose in July of just spiro and finasteride, and my endo added fairly low dose of E in August.  He bumped up the E and spiro this month, but the changes had already taken place.

I still present as male at work, and I have some serious man boobs now.  I actually bought a sports bra, and may have to start wearing it under a t-shirt with a loose shirt.

Just to clarify, this isn't a post about impatience, more about a genuine intriguedness about the physiology of development. My impression had been that the left tends to lead the right in the majority of cases which I found interesting, but the results so far suggest this isn't the case...  ;D

My right was faster than my left, but now it seems the opposite. It feels fuller on the left when i cup it. Just really hope i dont have too much of a discrepancy when they are fully matured >A<

I find that my right breast tends to lead the way. These days I am a 42B, but heading towards a C Cup. On the Pencil test, my breasts hold 3 Pencils now . Interestingly after wearing a soft bra all day I can sometimes get then to take 4 pencils. I rethink it must be all the exercise they get  with my walking!

PS I am about 31 months now on HRT

What is "the pencil test"?

It's an outdated method to determine whether or not you "need" a bra 

"A pencil is placed in the inframammary fold, between the breast and chest. If the pencil does not fall, the woman has "failed the pencil test" and needs to wear a bra. The supposition is that breasts that are not pendulous are self-supporting and do not need the added support of a bra."

I've seen that test used to see how plump your butt is too, lol.
