Can anyone tell me how long it takes once you are on HRT (estrogen and anti-andogen) before your nipples start hurting (I forgot)  ? 

Thanks,

3 months for me, and thats when they seemed to begin getting longer and more pointed. Well one of them at least. The other seems behind a bit or doing something else.

3 months for the pain itself to start?

I've heard that an almost itchy nipple-pain and sensitivity can begin in as little as one week, and is often definate by week two with the beginnings of painful breast buds around (as soon as) week three. Nipples going perpetually erect after a week or two.

Visible growth in as little as four weeks. Minimal of course, but a noticable puffiness overall, with the center (buds) being slightly more pronounced.

For me yes no visual result for 1 month at least. Puffiness more around 2 months for me. Of course everyone's  experience is different  with different estrogens, different medicine combinations,  forms of estrogen, amounts of estrogen, and dna genetics.

I also saw only small changes till 3 months, at 4 much more.

This is just in my experience. I am sure TSes with higher doses and different stuff have much more quick changes.

The small pains I felt before 3 months was nothing till then. At that point the real pains set in, very aching and the actual tip seemed to double in length. But any touch against them was very sharp and they seemed to hit everything.

I am sure the others will tell of their own experience to, and Kathy getting 4 months experience with big results, sounds like more experience then me.

Kendra.  I wouldn't say I had more experience.  Just 4 months, but pretty good growth.  I especially noticed the "puffiness under my armpits, where the breasts extended to.  I was off HRT for 3 months, and did NOT lose a thing.  I just started again about 5 days ago, but no soreness in my nipples yet.

I was a fast "grower" and the soreness settled in almost right away when the first changes started (around the third week).  I still do have spurts here and there.  They get really sore and itchy and then it goes away for awhile.

They softened almost immediately on starting antiandrogen. Then when I started on estrogen it only took, if I recall correctly, a little over a month for the soreness to start - they were already bulgy by that time.

If I recall, for me it my nipples started to hurt after about a month.  They didn't start to hurt until my breasts actually started to grow.

I forgot as well!   I think it was about six to eight weeks after hormones.  They really hurt, very much indeed....but it was a wonderful experience nonetheless.

I believe for me it was somewhere around 2 weeks....not sure why I started feeling the pain so early, just did.  Prob 3 weeks before I noticed a physical change and 4 weeks before it was definate.  By 6 weeks there was a huge difference...

According to my TransLog, I attained a solid A-cup by the end of the first month.  If I recall, the 'sensation' started the second or third week.

But since then -- nada (I measure myself at the start of every month and log the results.)

The good new (for me) is, lately it's getting uncomfortable to walk without support again.  Maybe another growth spurt is on the way <*hope, hope*>

Gee Karen, I'm jealouus.  I wish I would have to "walk with support."

Well, I'm a small B, but I love going around my place without a bra on.  I don't know, it just feels good knowing I have a chest I like looking at.  I haven't tried running in quite a while though.  Well, I do have a couple of sports bras if I need them.

I know what you mean

About two days after starting HRT, I began with a high dose, I got the itches but it was still about 3 or 4 weeks before any noticeable growth occurred. My nipples really have not progressed the way I would like, the rest me is good but my nipples could be a little more pronounced. Has anyone tried the vacuum thing?

I'm just at 7 weeks in and me nips began to get sore about a week or so ago.

Skin is changing too, getting softer, beard growth has slowed but no difference in the cup size yet.  I don't expect the nips to get much bigger though.

My wife tapped me on that spot the other day and looked very apologetic when I said, "Owww!"

My experience is kind like yours, Brandi.  The soreness came on pretty quickly, less than two or three weeks.   They still hurt.  It's wonderful!

My nipples started hurting about two weeks after being on HRT.  They still hurt not as they grow some days more so than others.  I have been on HRT for the last year and three months and my breasts are now a full A cup and still growing.
