Okay, so ever since my bewbs started to bud, I've been able to squeeze the areola of either nipple, and a small amount of liquid would come out.

Of course my first reaction to this was concern, and upon googling it I of course came to the conclusion that OMG I'M GONNA DIE

Anyway, I went to the doctor and he said that a few of his other trans patients have this occurrence, and that he'd run some pituitary and blood tests to make sure everything is okay.

I checked out fine.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO my next step... (tmi?)

If I work out the fluid from both nipples, will that stimulate more growth?

I thought everyone had this?

Well I've asked all of my cis-girl friends and a handful of trans women and none of them had this occurrence..

I'm just wondering if working the fluid out would stimulate any kind of extra growth

Hi Hideyoshi,

Generally speaking the answer is no. For you to  lactate there aree a few precursors that need to be put in place in order for the milk glands/ducts to develop and start producing milk.

Depending how long you have been on HRT and your present blood levels will be the contributing factor to this initial fluid.

If you are in any way serious about breastfeeding I suggest you checkwith your endocronoligist who should be able toput you in direct contact with a breastfeeding association.

If your query is based on breast growth and how to stimulate it, nature takes her own way in that department; no matter what you do.
