Title: Lack of nipple growth
Post by: Amoré on October 31, 2017, 12:53:03 PM
Well the story goes something like this I have been on hrt for almost two years now and is a full B cup but my nipples didn't see much improvement and I feel they are really small. Is there any reason why this may happen? Who has the same experience?

    I have only been on hrt for  4 months now I have seen some breast growth but no nipple growth I do know some cis women who have nipples the same size as mine so I dont think it is something to fret about

My nipples only because slightly larger and lighter in color. From what I understand, women nipples may look like mine or they can be large and darker in color. It all goes back to genetics and there isn't a standard looking nipple.

If you haven't looked at 007b.com I would suggest it. I learned a lot about "real" boobs but mainly just how many hang ups women have regarding their breasts. I don't think any of us is immune from it really. I think most of us hoped for something just a bit different than we have.

Try taking progesterone. It can help increase chest volume and nipple size.

 There are a variety of products designed to assist nursing mothers with inverted or small nipples get their babies to latch properly.  They will make your nipples larger and more erect, they will also slightly increase aerola size.

I would advise against this, since these are medications not meant for trans patients. Progesterone, on the other hand, is commonly prescribed to aid in breast tissue growth, however its effectiveness is only 50/50.

Most of these are suction devices not medications.

I have achieved permanent nipple growh, both in length and diameter using suction teats called Supple Nipps.

These are made of silicone rubber. You lube them up, squeeze them onto your nipples and they latch on to you.

They are uncomfortable at first, but if you persevere and work up to the larger sizes, they do work.

You will need a bra, both for modesty and to prevent a disaster if one slips off!

The larger sizes do jiggle you about, so I wear a bra with a bigger cup size, pad the under cup with tissue, then rest my pumped out nipples on the padding for suppport. I can then wear them all day.

First everyone should have progesterone. Not just for breast growth. Its effects go into stabilizing metabolic regulation that estrogen alone will upset. This is for bio-identical forms of progesterone. Other forms of progestins like MPA will not provide these benefits.

Without going deeper into all that end, progesterone works with human growth hormone and two other human growth factors to develop breast tissues into their full adult shape. Estrogen alone will not do it. However if you want the most possible growth you will need to get prescribed pregnancy level estrodiol and progesterone for a length of time.
I got micronized oral progesterone on about my 6th month on HRT. My experience is my emotions are so much more stable. My breast are continuing to grow but I have not seen any nipple increase but some when I first started. My areola's however have increased in diameter so something is working.
