Ahh, tender, insightful, and compassionate advice.
Better idea, find some nice person to sleep on.
God, i've been on HRT for 2 months and mine are very sore :-\

No, not really. I just lay on my belly a lot like when I watch TV, or when I'm changing my shirt or something.
Wear a bra a lot. And don't lie on your belly. ^_^
Mine hurt sometimes... Not so hardcore. Like... I can get pain sometimes but nothing so crazy.
Although... I cringe more if they get touched wrong or bumped.
Mine are all sore after just a month of hormones. :( They're all "ouchie" when I move too fast, or bump into stuff, or my shirt is too rough, or I accidentally hit one with my arm (AAAARGH).
It was the same for me. It went away probably after about 12 months on HRT. I've been on hormones for about a year and 8 months or so and am pretty much past the sore part of it. Now they just need to grow more! Actually, they have been growing lately. More rounding out than growing, but also a little more growth, so I'm happy about that.
Going on 6 months and mine have been sore for 2 months now. And itch like mad. but I see growth. Not much but it is happening. You can try sleeping on a pillow, it does help.
Poor Serra-berra's boobies are hurting too. She tells me they hurt lots, I tell her that means they are growing!
So be happy they is growing :)
Good grief, all this hurting.
Yes, Gracie, it goes away, thank Mother!! But do NOT run into anything, like a door lintel or car door (did both) or you will know what pain truly can be!! :)
Actually I occasionally wish mine would get a little sore now and then. :laugh: The time-frame is different for different people 2 mos. 6 mos. whatever. But, this too shall pass.
Nichole
Also don't accidentally hit them ether. I have done that and almost died. ;D
A year and 5 months and I'm still sore. (But my dosages have gone up a few times.)
This is going to be with you for a while so kick back and take comfort in the knowledge that you're growing. :)
I have come back with knowellege!
My mates tell me baggy t-shirts and padded bras help =]
Extra paddin D=
when i was growing them (yuck) mine never hurt.... what the hell is all of his whining about?!
My nipples were the fist to grow and it was uncomfortable until I started wearing bras with silicone breast forms. the breast felt like lightly bruised flesh, not realy uncomfortably sore. actually it took mine 3 years to fully grow and on and off again afterwards for another two years, but the slow development could have been on the account of age.

Same here, though recently they've grown some more, and this time it's been quite painful. *shrugs*

I don't know about you, Claire, but I'm finding the pain to be a bit of a downer. I just don't want to move, 'cause every time I do, I wind up hurting. The pain feels kind of like I've got coarse twine pierced through my nipples, and the loose ends just got caught in something.

Are you serious? Cherish that pain. Its one more thing GGs go through, therefore enjoy your puberty!
I mean... The last one was gross and horrible to me, why not?
My trans-fu is weak... I'm dealing with unmedicated depression and ADD-PI right now. I need my drugs. >:-)
Hi Deviousxen, I'm definitely happy with what results I got from HRT, even 6 years out of my nine years on HRT I would never have guessed I would get this far.
I enjoyed every minute of my transition, every tiny new discoveries and experiences of new development of my body like a teen age girl going through puberty, at my age? "Wow," But it isn't just the physical it is also the psychological, emotional as well as the changes within ones self that takes place as well.
Hi Nephie hon I do pray you get well soon.
Cindy

My girlfriend sometimes complains that I am lucky that I will never have to deal with it. I just have to disagree.
Oh yeah, mine hurt too. Over a year on hrt and they still hurt. Some days more than others. I also find that massage is good relief....maybe someone can help you with that ;-)
It does not bother me much because I know it is all part of change and I love seeing that change...
OMG yes, if there was any one thing that caught my attention was the day my breast began to grow, like a few of you my nipples felt like some was holding a match to them, they went from dime size to quarter size in a few weeks and then the tissue growth behind them, goodness were they ever sore for about six months at least after that the sorenes was just a part of life, I am affraid it's gonna start again I have been on HRT now just a few weeks and already I have that tenderness coming back, maybe I'll fill a C cup this time.
Hi Christine nice picture, I like it when someone posts an avatar even an animated one I remember them and associate them with the owner quicker then I can the name. Yes I agree with you, enjoy the changes, you come by here but only one time.
QuoteSome girls say I'm LUCKY I don't get a period... And I disagree. Lol. Deviousxen
Cheeeeez wiz, I don't think I met any women who hasn't said that at one point in time or another. Ain't no wonder, some suffer terrible from menstruation. My sister was nearly incapacitated with it on the first couple days. Some even get hysterectomies just to be rid of the pain and others take birth control pills and sometimes with pain killers. And I don't think the mess is very pleasant to deal with either.
Hi Terri I beleive then that you are intersexed, or did I miss something?
Cindy
Yup, Been on HRT for 4 months. My first experience was carrying a basket of laundry up stairs. As I set the basket on the steps to open the door I raked the edge of the basket across my right one. I wanted to give in to the male urge to punch something!
On a side note, I've noticed my right side appears to be slightly larger then my left. any one else have this and have you been told by your doctor that is normal?
My left is and yes it is normal for one to bigger than the other. From everything that Ihave read.
Yeah, it mostly goes away, although it hurts me to run (or bounce) while bra-less. I do get a little pain in them every now and then, but it usually goes away quickly.
Hi Janet, Well I believe you could be right, I have one that's pink and other is green, but then I'm from Mars, what do I know? ;D Seriously though, I didn't experience that myself, but Wing Walker had that experience as well, where the right one was slightly bigger then the left one for a couple of years. From what I been hearing I think it's a common occurrence.
Cindy
It is rare that everything on your body is perfectly symmetrical. One side is always different from the other, most people just never notice.
my right one is bigger too... there seems to be a trend.
The size difference isn't all that pronounced right now, I just don't want to end up looking like Dolly Parton on one side and John McCain's jaw on the other...
I was always told that your dominate side, referring to on some people right or left handed and not that twisted little devil on your shoulder with a whip LOL >:-) anyways your dominate side is always larger, so the muscle behind your breast would make it larger, I say some cause not everyone has a dominate side that matches there handed side ;D

My left breast is bigger. I'm ambidextrous, though I tend to write with my right hand (and do many other things with my right hand by default), so I'm not sure that this theory holds.

Like I said, some.........
Oh right, ok. I didn't see that. :)
About the parts on the right side being slightly larger on the right side I have heard about since I was a little kid, including myself. My mate is left handed and she claims that the parts on her left side are slightly bigger then the right, odd that is. I suppose that through the millions of years of human evolution and adaptation what ever side of our body that is used the most would naturally have a larger muscle mass then the other allowing for better adeptness and stability for tool handling. That is the only logical deduction I can speculate to these divergences in the anatomy. Another interesting human oddity to say the least.
Cindy
Grrrrrrrr.... Growwwwwwwwwwwww
It's harder for me to get to sleep now that my breasts are so sensitive. As a man, I was a stomach sleeper/occassional side sleeper but, I always fell asleep lying on my belly. I can't do that as easily anymore so now I'm learning to fall asleep on my side. I just can't figure out what to do with my arms. I have been pressing them up close to me since it's getting colder but every time I shift position I move my pinned arm which has become glued to my breast and it hurts like feck when I peel it off. I guess my days of sleeping shirtless are over.
Mine stopped hurting long and long ago. Good pain.....nice boobs.
Can't sleep on my stomach ever again. Isn't it wonderful?!
Whaddya think, ya get these things for free??
Pay every girl's price, then Enjoy being yourself!
Bev
Got mine at the five and dime store, "hee, hee, hee." Just bein a smart aleck. Yes mine took about five years to fully develop and it felt kind of like when you have bruised tissue and kind of like a tightening feeling at the nipples when you move your arms around. If that was part of the price to pay to become a girl then it was worth it. I came into this business to become a woman, the one that had been inside of me all my life I wanted to be her at any price, even the surgery is a small price to pay.
What a woman has to do just to be herself is no small peanuts.
Cindy
Quote from: Kristen on October 25, 2008, 08:49:20 PMI guess my days of sleeping shirtless are over.
Not necessarily - there are still ways to sleep without a shirt on. Like I'll sleep with an arm under my pillow, my mother does that too and she's, well, let's just say I have good genetics, hahaha. Anyway that position seems to work for me ever the side sleeper I am, at least until my arm falls asleep too. :D
i kinda have to admit, i've given up and just started sleeping on my back... anything else ends in a world of pain
I never could sleep on my stomach so I don't miss it but it's nice to cuddle up with my breasts against my Love's back, or when she puts her arm around me on top of my nipples, reminds I have breasts, nice sensations, certainly reminds one that she is quite female and I ain't knocking that. I think I'm actually getting to be more easily aroused in my old age. ;D Ooooops I hope that that kind of talk doesn't hurt someones virgin ears.

...
I can totally see them clearly now when I look in the mirror. I can almost look in the mirror and not see him anymore...
Its so ridiculously... Amazing.
Yeah.....wierd. I look in the mirror, and Bev looks back. Mike's still in there...in my head. Of course, Mike IS Bev. But now, Bev is dominant in all aspects :)
Hi Bev, Well "Y" tried his best to win the battle, but he was wise enough to realise he would not survive to the end of the battle. He knelt to one knee and laid his sword on the ground, and said aloud, "I will fight no more" then arose again, stood straight and proud like a soldier, I thought he was going to salute, but he only turned abruptly and threw his cape on a stone catafalque, then laid upon it and closed his eyes and faded off into the mist that had abruptly drifted in from nowhere. That was my dream not long before I started full time as Cindy.
Cindy is whole and is master of her own destiny

Well that was a dream, I have lots of pretty wild dreams. But then I have never again heard from Y, although I know that "Y" is still part of me, part of the same life giving energy of this body.

It's strange so many people refer to their pre-transition selves as a different person... Or perhaps I'm the strange one for not thinking that way?
Hmmm I imagine we do that to distance ourselves from the prior self image. I do that too, even though I'm still the same person I've always been (just less yucky :D ).
The body gets used to the discomfort after a period of time.
Cheerleaders find a way to persevere, with all the bouncing around and stuffs. So I'm sure someone as motivated as you will as well:-)

Its cause repression of your feelings makes you strengthen your outer shell and construct personality. I also made mine a lot more like the people around me to the point of almost thinking at random points, "Goddamn it I'm not me right now I'm acting like so and so."
Most of what I've ever had as a persona has been constructed and I'm just now starting to sift through what was actually me in there..

that... didnt make any sense
The simplest way to look at it is that we still reside in the same body just newly renovated to match the newly rewired psyche. The hormones do change the psyche as well as the physical so that how we think, feel, and perceive things is different. The psyche simply adapts to its new environment. End result: It feels like having left one life behind to be reborn into a new one, so our reference point to our past is like looking back at someone else's life in the past that is no longer yours.
Cindy
Yup, bio-girls go often through the "growing pains" as well. I remember several months when I was 11 or so when I could barely stand it. It was especially a drag since I've always been a stomach sleeper. Fortunately the pain went away after a while. (Don't remember how long it took. I'm thinking it was actually a couple years.) They'll still get a little sore sometimes, depending on what my body is doing hormonally, though. Can't wait to get them lopped off. >:-)
Something that helps, if you want to sleep on your stomach: Use an extra blanket like a body pillow, and tuck it around you so that it supports your hip and shoulder on one side. This lifts your weight off the "girls", while still allowing you to sleep on your stomach. (Did that description make sense? It's so hard to describe something you just do.)
I'm fairly certain everyone goes through changes and personal growth cycles and look back upon themselves as such a different individual that it's hard to think of that person as the same person. I don't really see much difference between regular people and transsexuals in that regard.
I describe it as my "shell" but it was more like my cage. I repressed who I was and how I feel and I allowed others to tell me who I am and how I felt.
It is the most wonderful feeling once you discover you can break out of that cage and live on the outside. Same shell, just a new life form inhabiting it. Like the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. To me it was that intense a change, over time. It might be different strokes for different folks which I believe it is. Depends much on how long it takes one to accept who they are within and surrender to this inner self. Among a multitude of other reasons of course. Acceptance is probably the scariest, to some, terrifying, and most dificult hurdle to jump.

Riven's free translation:
I've built a shell around myself by repressing my feelings. Also, in this case my shell looks a lot like other shells around me, so "Goddamn it I'm not me right now I'm acting like someone else."
My persona is make believe, and i'm now starting to take inventory of what's really there.

Yes, "Y" tried to win the battle against Bev's "X" also, but I think "Y" was shorter than most other Y's, and kind of knew in "his" heart what the outcome would be.

I went through the same thing when I started HRT. I found a bra that helped me a lot. Its called a Water bra. im not sure who makes it, but it has water in the cups. It really does work. and welcome to womanhood!!
