Hi all
Im new here as a poster but have been coming here for quite awhile
Have read and learned lots
Thank you everyone
Have been taking E for a month and half all by itself
Woke up soaked in sweat and freezing last night
When finally awake this morning i reach down to touch my nipples and badda boom badda bing i found two nickle size breast buds that were not there when i went to sleep
I want to stop here for a bit and i want to keep these buds awake and fresh without them going much farther
So no more E daily
How often do you think i should take E to keep these buds suspended in time until im ready to let them loose or do you think thats not possable to do
Im thinking of taking a couple weeks off as there is still plenty of E cruising around my bloodstream and stored in my body fat
Then i thought of a once a week or once every two weeks rubbing some E on my thighs
Does anyone think that will work or if i stop all together will i have to start making new buds again
Thx

Breast tissue is permanant. They aren't going anywhere. If you stop e they will simply slow down. If your t lwvel is low your natural e levels might keep them growing at a slow pace.

Get some silicone nipple shields to wear inside your bra.

These are intended to to prevent nipple inversion for pregnant women, but they will provide nipple support & protection for your tender boobs.

I need to wear them everyday for support between my breast pumping sessions.   

I have read that if you stop hrt with buds that your buds could shrink up and dissapear
Also have read that breast tissue is forever
So if i stop my E now and start up in six months to a year i can pick up where i left off
If thats the case i could grow them a little bigger and stop and do the same thing again
I cant go to far with to many changes as i have 3 beautiful little grand children who live across the street from me and call me grampa
But i can still have a small set of breasts and keep them to myself to make feel more like i have always felt
Can only do the best i can

Hi, Suzie!

Welcome to Susan's.

I don't really have an answer to your question.  It sounds like you are doing a DIY version of HRT.  I'd really recommend doing it with the supervision of a doctor.  They would be in a better position to answer your question.

I think that estradiol gets broken down pretty fast, so when you stop taking it, your levels will drop.  Your breast buds might shrink a little if you stop taking E, but they probably won't go away altogether.

Diy kinda
I have had high E for a couple years now because of chemo and radiation treatments
My doctors are aware of this and do constant blood work
Yes i added some more E to the mix without telling the doctors but they know it has gone up and our monitoring me
They believe its side effects from the cancer treatment and med maryjane use
The breast growth they think is gyencomastia because of the high E in my system
So yes some diy but still under constant watch by my doctors
Sorry if this affends anyone
Thx
