Mine completely stopped hurting, makes me sad.

Maybe the growth is being accompanied by your natural endorphins, so there is no pain.

4 days till my divorce is final, and 12 till my name is legal!!  My future step daughters are still welcoming me to the family.  My littlest future granddaughter cried when I had to give her back to her mom.  The older granddaughters think I'm cool.  My future son in law accepted me as a woman.  The gas station attendant said ma'am to me even after I spoke.

I let my wife know I had put into my drawers some bulk tops I had bought several months ago. After sharing with her my loot she commandeered at least 40%. I am so lucky to have those precious moments.

I received my new permanent driver's license today and the picture isn't as bad as others I've seen.

So in my continued attempts at driving practice, I made a trip out to Sam's Club, a good 35-40 minute drive. While there, I saw some cute tops and a loose knit shawl "jacket" at a really good price. The store was kind of packed, so I just sort of walked by, wanting so bad to look through them. Well, after hitting deli area, I looped back around and said screw it. I stopped and looked through the women's clothes. I really wanted a few of them, and I would have bought them, but none were left in my size in the colors I wanted. But I'm happy because I had the courage to look!! If I hadn't have spent too much money already and wasn't developing a slight stomach ache (I'm iffy about some Chinese I had before hand, fortunately didn't eat much) I was ready to go over to Target or somewhere else and start shopping. I'm thinking about making a trip out there tomorrow during the work/school day.

Good for you Ellie, that you did look.

Good for you Ellie! I've spent a lot of time at K-Mart because they've had some great sales.  It was difficult at first but now I just go and look.  It gets easier the more you do it.  And if someone gives you a weird look, just say Hi.

My new eye shadow came in today

How do you decide?  I can't pick from the 4 or 5 basic colors I have.  That  many would overwhelm me.

Good for you Ellie!!! It gets easier from here! Wait until the first time another woman starts chatting with you while you're looking! 

Wow, shopping at first is really hard - I still get nervous about it, but everyone who said the more you do it the easier it gets, and the stronger you get.  I remember my first shopping trip with another trans friend - I was so scared we walked through the clothes, looked at only a few things, and I made her practically need to run to keep up with me as I went for the exit.

I'm glad you made such a huge step!

How long did your's hurt?

Were sore for about a week or so then stopped.

Had a great day out with friends today (mostly, see my post in the unhappy thread). Went to see Mazinger Z Infinity in the theater. IT. WAS. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Had a great talk with my friend that rode with me, too. Helped me clear up (well, more clearer?) a few things and gave me some great advice in regards to dating (need all the help I can get!).

Mine had felt like they were hurting a week or so ago so I was wearing a sports bra to keep them from getting rubbed.

Now today is the 4th, maybe the 5th day of hurting.  Did your Montgomerys come out?

They will do that off and on.  I wouldn't worry.  They do grow painfully slow though.  Good for you on the clothes.  I find the looking is easy now, buying is easy, but the changing rooms is hard.  I've gotten the isn't this the girls changing room? Question.  I just say, yes, yes it is and continue to wait for a room.  It's awkward but I prefer it over going to the men's.

What's made me happy thus far today are the three orchid plants a coworker brought for me. They're in sad shape and I'm looking forward to repotting them; hoping I can coax at least one of them to send out a flower spike & bloom this year.

I'm also looking forward to my eye exam later today because it means a new prescription and more feminine eyeglasses eventually! Plus I get to leave work early!!

Feeling very blessed to be transgendered and to be able to be a peace with myself.
It's been a long hard road but with beautiful scenery .
Being 73 years old now I really appreciate every day.
I also have received great benefit by doing Qi Gong and meditation.
It's great to be on Susan's place . Millie
