Hi
When I transitioned the first time, a girl friend had a baby and allowed me to experience breast feeding her baby . I was so amazed with the feeling that I talked to my endocrinologist and she explained that anyone could lactate with the right treatment and that it would of course mean that my breasts would be fuller with the increase in milk ducts. We discussed it and as I was very close to my girl friend decided that I would try it out. She then put me on Progesterone and Motillium and I bought a double electric breast pump and she introduced me to a Nurse Practitioner. My NP advised me to start slow, but to try to express milk 2 times a day for no more than 15 minutes each time. Each time to get comfortable on s couch or bed and to start with some gently massage on each breast to increase the flow and to warm up the tissue.. At first I got nothing out, but after a couple of weeks the combination of sharing great feeding duties with my girl friend meant that I got a regular flow going. Then my NP suggested that I use the Double pump at least 6 times a day to ensure that I expressed all the milk after doing breast feeding. This meant that I was producing it on a regular basis no matter whether feeding or not. It was an amazing period of my life as I truly felt a woman and induced a feeling of euphoria and a lot of maternal feelings, As time went on over that nine month period my breasts became heavier and fuller (and even my nipples seemed to get larger and much more pronounced. I really recommend it to everyone as the feeling of both breast feeding and induced expression on ones nipples is truly a wonderful sensation. Unfortunately I broke off with my girlfriend just as I got to the stage where I decided for family and economic reasons to de-transition. My girlfriend tried very hard to get me to stick with my transition (as she was incredibly supportive of me working on my transition as-she was the one who gave all my male cloths to the Op shop and together with another girlfriend made me cut up my last pair of male trousers with the clothing shears so that I would focus on only wearing Skirts and dresses and being committed to be 100% female 24x7. Anyway, the good thing is that regularly lactating over that period meant that my breasts were overall well developed with increased breast tissue especially in the armpits and sides. Even now some 26 years later they are still well rounded and fuller(although now only a small B, I still pass the pencil test easily). Interestingly enough , a couple of weeks ago I discovered a large stain on my PJ top one morning where I had obviously started to leak during the night from both breasts. My new NP just said it was due to the increase in my Progynova dosage and not to worry as it meant that the body was re-adjusting to having Oestrogen as the dominant hormone. I have very low T (less than 1.1).
