Do your breasts get more sensative as you go, or do the hormones not affect the sensativity that much?

Hey Elissa !!

I have only been on hormones for 4 months and my breasts are just about an A cup.  As the months have gone by they have become a lot more sensitive, especially around the nipples !!  My skin is quite dry so part of my moisturising routine now includes my breasts, a fact which you won't hear me complaining about

Hi Elissa -

Wonderful question - thus far, 2 years into HRT, everything has been exceptional - especially progress with breast growth - Very early on in the first few months, they became much more sensitive, and even a little sore. They are a little sore now, even every day, but sometimes more so, if i have been giving them a little massage and personal attention (which i have become quite fond of doing sometimes) - sometimes they have been quite sore, and an occasional bump against them while working can really hurt pretty good sometimes. To be honest, thank god for a nice comfortable lightly padded bra - gives me a layer of protection from bumps that i really need as sensitive as they are.

My Endo is really happy - in fact a little stunned the last time i saw him - growth rate and mass had doubled just in the prior 6 months since i saw him last.

Not only that, but i have been lactating and able to express fluid from the nipples for at least the last 9-10 months - (that really freaked me out in a good, and frankly quite positive way - gave me a very tingly, sexy, and excited feeling deep in my guts) - he found this to be unusual, but all my tests showed perfect, and he chalked it up as typical for me (they all tell me i'm a little ahead of the normal standard curve in some ways)...

Told me (without really saying it openly) i was one of his very favorite patients because i am always so upbeat and happy to be there when i go to see him...I always try to make him smile or laugh - and a million times more comfortable in my own skin every time he's seen me now. He finds it very refreshing.

I am very happy thus far, wish it would go faster, but patience is the best virtue, as i am learning....

Sincerely,


Annagirl

Annagirl,

Lactating?  Really?  Is this normal?  This is a new one on me, so if everyone does it, please forgive me.  I'm a real dork on some subjects.

I experienced this for a couple of weeks in the second month of HRT.I'm now about a year and three months into hrt. It went away and has not happened again. I'm not sure if the secreations were really lactation or not. It was more like the clear fluid that comes  a week before breastmilk comes for a mother who has just given birth. Perhaps it is just a way to release excess hormones. I have no idea, I'm not a doctor, so just my therory.  

Sorry if i may have used the term lactation for want of a more scientifically accurate one.
My Endo was a little concerned at first that it had been at this volume for that long - ordered a panel for me and everything came back perfect.

He said that he had rarely seen/heard of this, but it does happen apparently - dosent hurt my feelings a bit - i really happy freaked out about it - cant really say why other than it is another uniquely feminine experience for me in some ways that i would have never imagined possible. Still sore and tender though - all the time - sometimes less than others, but definitely a constant reminder of the changes happening there - and all good as far as i'm concerned. I like the feeling - i like having breasts developing to the point where i have to be careful not to bump them, or smash them, or sleep on them wrong if they're a little more sore that night - i like having to wear a bra for comfort and protection, as well as appearance.

Definitely,

Been on hormones for years but the breasts are still sensitive.  So much so that I have told a few people they had to go easy on my babies.

The first time I lactated I was 12.

I showed it to my mom, who showed it to my dad, who took me to the doctor.

The doctor said it can happen to boys and he should grow out of it.

The doctor was correct.

The next time I lactated I was older and took female hormones.

I have taken female hormones several different times.

Each time I stopped taking female hormones lactation stopped and breasts shrunk.

Currently I have taken female hormones continuously for about two years.

I can generate a few drops of milk if I massage my nipples any day.

The liquid will start clear and then be milky. 

The liquid will come out of either nipple.

My nipple area has been sore for about two years.

If someone hits me in my nipple area it hurts.

I avoid showing pain.

My left nipple is far more sensitive than the right nipple.

My left breast is bigger than the right breast.

It is extremely pleasurable for me to pull the nipple area.

A comfortable bra is a 44B. (A difficult size to find.)

I live as a male and do not wear a bra in public.

It hurts if I run!

It is embarrassing to run!

I do not run!

My breasts sag since I do not wear a bra.

My nipples are smaller than a genetic female.

My areola has expanded from 1 inch to over 2 inches.

How many years will the breasts continue to grow on hormones?

Do the breasts become fuller?

Any similar experiences?
