I know what you mean. I was forever knocking my boobs on things. I guess it's better than having a pain in the butt. :)

Lynn,
I just started training for next year's soccer season, the first for me as a woman. Using my chest to control the ball...well, ouch.
When I first started to develop it seemed that my chest found every door frame and circle clothes rack. Ouch.
Well those may hurt. But I have a worse one for you.
I work as a hand held computer agent for a car rental co. So, all day I check in the people who bring the cars back.
Well, I've had my nipple hit by the top of a cars' door. The pointy edge!!!!.ANd Im not smart to learn the first time!!! Ive done it 5 times so far.OUCH!!!!
The first time it happened I bent over and yelled. And everyone around me was busting out over it(but not knowing why). The 3rd time, same reaction ( but with manager there, and they all know) She grabbed the printed and helped me until I could stand up. Then she got another agent to cover and took me to her office and checked it out for me. Each time Id have a bruise across my nipple and around it.
You're going to know your nipple off one of these days. :D No problems with breasts for me. It just feels natural to have them. In fact before transition, I always felt like I was missing something on my chest and had to sleep with a pillow there for the weight since I was about 12. Now I can sleep fine without the pillow there, but I put it on my stomach a lot of times anyways out of habit.
Anyway, I can imagine how bad those panic attacks must have been. Just thinking about stopping scares me. I had panic attacks right before starting HRT because I needed it so bad.

Oh I'm so glad to be rid of those. Imagine what it feels like to not expect them there and hate their presence and constantly bump up against things. Bleh.
Dennis
Oh yes...the pain, the beautiful pain.....okay now I'm getting a little bit masochist here....oh what the heck? we love this kind of pain, don't we, girls?

It's better to have the pain of my children occasionally hitting my chest than to not have them at all. Just today I was musing over how natural it feels to have breasts even though I've had them for such a short time. Sometimes I will grab one and it makes me smile to know that it's there.
Melissa
Well, its a month in now..... and oh boy if I thought those boxes hurt I must have been on something LoL.... Got over zellous while drumming and whacked myself with a drumstick.... (realize even with the loss of musclemass I can break a glass bottle with one quick whack) but its all good. Im loveing it... :D
Hi Lynn:
I'm very happy for you. Things will definetely get better and BIGGER! ;)
tinkerbell :icon_chick:
LoL, no kidding.... I was at a B before stopping HRT the first time around. Allready Im noticeing a size diffrence... and Ive got the "bounce" back :D and this time Im not ballooning heh.
I recently lost my job and so now I can't afford to buy my hormones. I've been off them for a month, after having been taking them for 5 months. I wasn't really developed that much (having an operation to remove skin cancer across one of them doesn't help either - my "larger" of the two is now the "smaller"). I haven't seen much reduction yet, but the emotional turmoil has been taking its toll on me greatly. I can't wait to start back up, and I'd rather have the pain of development than the pain of withdrawl.
I was wondering what happened to you stephanie. I remember you starting hormones shortly before I did. I'm sorry to hear you aren't able to afford them. For me, they are a higher priority than food, but then again, I can afford both.
On the positive side, one thing I've heard though is people who have stopped and then started again notice a sudden jump in breast growth. :)
Melissa
Honestly Id sell my drumset before going through the pain of withdrawl again ... I understand not being able to afford them.... was 7 months on, 6 months off.... and that 6 months was hell... between the physical pains, Loosing most of what I gained, the return of the anxiety atacks, the agitation <which helped force me leave my better job which made things even worse>, and finaly the morbid depression setting back in <which was a driveing cause on my part of the end of my relationship>. Never Never again... unless its for actual health reasons...... and even then I'll try to find a way LoL
Reading this topic makes me realize how lucky I am to live in a country with the medical system that we have. Sometimes I/we tend to take things for granted, I learned not to do that anymore. The only time that I came close to losing my HRT was last year when my family Dr. closed her practice and I was low on meds. I was in a bit of a panic as my prescription needed to be renewed, and before that had to be done I would need a Dr. to renew it. Long story short, I found a new Dr. and immediately asked for and received a prescription for a year at a time. I was not going to run that risk again.
