Driving me nuts....

As most on HRT have had this experience my breasts and nipples are driving me nuts. The doc changed my dosages around a bit and for the last 3 weeks the knot behind my nipples has gotten larger and my nipples are sensitive and at attention all the time. The nipples go from hurting to sending shivers down my spine. As I said in my intro it is getting harder to hide the changes and today I really noticed myself in the mirror. Kind of freaked me out in a good and bad way. I found myself thinking that I need to loose more weight so the 'ladies' stand out more.

I also find the mental changes interesting and satisfying being on HRT.

It's a beautiful moment when you realize omigod, they're really growing!  :)   Thanks for sharing your moment with us, it's always good to read happy posts about progress.

I agree with the losing weight part.  The more I lose and the smaller I get weight-wise, makes me more fit a natural female stereotypical shape.  I may have only a to b boobies, but having a lighter frame is starting to feel good.  Btw, I caught a girl at work looking at them today.  She is my height and weighs about 90 lbs.  she's got nothing there.  I know she was jealous;)
you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

I also have a love/hate relationship with my breast growth. I hate the pain but it is something that should have happened a long time ago. I love my poking nipples and they are SO wonderfully sensitive!

Today I have relief because I am working from home and i broke out one of my padded underwire A cup bra's. I also noticed that they are very snug which feels awesome.

I took my inj this morning and my nipples got real sensitive and my breasts swelled up - they feel tight in the skin. This has never happened before. Perhaps I never noticed or it may be wishful thinking... But OMG! I went out to lunch and my shirt was tighter than normal. The waitress sat me in a booth. When she came back and her eyes immediately focused in on both protrusions and I caught her grinning. I was honestly a bit embarrassed and happy at the same time - it kind of freaked me out for a bit but at the end of my lunch I was ok with it. I need to pay more attention to my attire when i go out.

I keep haring people talk about their love hate relationship with the sensitivity and tenderness and pain of breast growth, but I haven't had the luxury of experiencing that yet.  SO far its is just mild achyness or soreness, but nothng that I am truly aware of at any point a unless I feel them myself.

The knots have been forming since just after my first week on HRT but I've noticed increased growth since switching to injections. Mibe have gotten super sensitive over the last month or so. It's gotten to the point I have to where a bra or a snug undershirt just for comfort. I can't even wear just a T-shirt anymore!
Up and away and off I go to lose my mind and find my soul.

On injections, that pain disappeared and so did the breasts.:( Fast forward 3 years, add some Estrogel and the pain comes back with renewed breast growth. :) The world works in mysterious ways.  :o
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

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005

My problem (in my brain I think) is that i look like a guy with girls breasts. I know i look like guy with breasts... ARG! Plus today is not a good day I am overly sensitive - not physically but mentally. I look at myself and I know where I want to end up but getting there is the challenge. I wish I could present as female or partially look female. I also have a international trip coming up for a couple weeks and I know I can't be what I want I *must* be guy mode.

Thank you all for the kind words I need to stop overthinking things and just be.

I also have noticeable breasts and I get overly-conscious when out running errands and shopping. I catch people looking at my chest too often for comfort and I am trying to get accustomed to it. I do wear tight jeans and with my slim build my "new" chest is way too obvious sometimes. My breasts have not stopped growing for over a year and have always itched (internally) and in recent months I have dealt with a strange low-voltage electric shock sensation that comes and goes. I have a lot of natural cleavage that is too visible if I don't button my shirt up all the way. I have been hoping that my breasts would finally stop growing as they have about maxed out for someone who must always remain closeted. I stopped wearing my tighter pullover shirts months ago, but now I show in every kind of shirt I have. I love the new erect, buxom look of my chest but I know it's not "natural" for a dude. But I am the same as you, I guess -- just need to stop thinking (or overthinking) so much about it and get on with life...

 I can't stop being in awe about mine.
Every time I take off my bra I look at them and say to myself

"You have boobs, real BOOBS!"

  I love them. Tender, sore, itchy, I have BOOBS!

  Hugs,
