For me it was tenderness, until you hit them against something and then it's *&^(%$# sore :laugh:

Basically like a bruise aching, for me. Except when it doesn't hurt at all but YOW! if I bang them on something...

Just run into something then you will know if it is all in your head or really there!  ;D

Like a fresh painful bruise, only with a sharp pain associated with bumping them...  Sometimes a soft ache, sometimes not much of anything.  It depends on the time of day for me

15 days is nothing.  at 3 months, if you aren't noticing anything, then I'd consult your doctor on their thoughts...  15 days is realllyyy early for most.

Yeah 15 days isn't much at all. My left boob is aching as I type right now lol. It feels like someone is pinching the areola, its a bit itchy too. The ache is gradual doesn't intensify and then sometimes it does where it's like a sharp pain pulsating through that lasts for a few seconds and stops. It comes in waves throughout the day.

It took me a whole month to get any soreness at all. And until just the other day (at 6 weeks) before I noticed any sort of budding. Granted I was expecting it to bud on the rib side and not literally attached to the back side of the nipple. (Silly of me in retrospect, of course that's where it would be)

I agree. 15 days is very little time. My boobs got sore within 1-2 months. And growth takes several years and might fluctuate.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

It took me almost exactly three months for anything to even start to develop in the breast department.  Give it time, it'll happen.  :)

As far as pain, it's more of a soreness for me so far.  I wondered what it was like before it happened too, all I can say is that when it does happen you won't wonder if that's what it was.  You'll definitely know!

If I would have gotten any amount of pain, moderate or more at all, I think I would have remembered it. However, I do remember a bit of soreness  or being a little achy for a short time, I believe, at the beginning. (I did have the "acorn" effect behind each areola). I guess I have really been lucky. And yet I sort of would like to have had some great growing pains to indicate that the boobs were coming in big time. It was a very slow process, but they are finally there. Whether they get bigger than a small C cup in the future with any sort of growing pains is yet to be determined.

A little over 4 months and I haven't noticed any soreness. I can't tell if there are changes or not, still looks like the same smallish man-boobs I had before I started. Kinda wish I measured from the get go.

For me, it's just sensitivity. Like it almost feels like a bruise or something. It doesn't really actively hurt, but it's very sensitive to touch, and when you touch it in the wrong way there's a bit of ouch.

That's most of the time. Admittedly, though, during my last growth spurt, all of a sudden I got this shooting pain in my right nipple where it felt like it was ripping apart from the inside. That's only happened a couple of times, though, and it only lasts for a few seconds before it calms down again.

Mine seem to (usually) only be sore if I touch them. If I let them be they don't complain. I do get that occasional deep throbbing sensation (not pain though)

However, if I brush my hand or anything across my nipple sideways, it feels like its going to tear off. Ouch!

As much as you are eager for them to grow and worry that there not so early, don't complain about having no soreness after 15 days it can be still to early. Rolling over from my side onto my back then waking up with an OWE 2 1/2hrs early was not a pleasant wake up call.

Yeah, no soreness at all for me. I can hit my nipple area pretty hard with my fist, or flick it hard with my finger and it doesn't hurt at all.

*sigh* I guess this probably means there's still nothing going on there.

You have to keep in mind that your T has to drop A LOT and that takes time.  Levels don't change right when you take your girly pills. . .  They take time to build up.  THEN the magic happens.
