Progesterone effects

I'm not panicking yet but I already make sure I am carrying stuff when I go somewhere. You can tell I am wearing a bra and my top is hanging loose form them. My therapist said I might find it hard to wait until my deadline. I think she might be right. Once I tell my family then it will probably be a lot easier.

I don't even wear a bra unless I'm dressed. not really had any issues. wearing a bra does make them more prominant if that is something you are worried about?

My nipples are as sore as I remember when I first started HRT so I am nervous.

Tammy, there is nothing to be nervous about. Just relax.

Estrogens work by redistributing body fat (breast, hips, etc.) and developing the infrastructure of the breasts: the nipples and all of the ductwork connected to them. To protect the new tissues, it moves fat there to serve as a cushion. This causes the breast to grow out away from the chest. That is what you are experiencing.

Progesterone works on developing the alveoli (the glands that eventually produce milk). This is why they swell and become fuller, more rounded, and shapely. This is also where water retention takes place, which is part of the swelling.

Don't panic, because this is a VERY, very slow process and is barely noticeable visually. You notice the sensitivity, but the changes are a long way from being seen.

Think about the typical cisgirl going through puberty. She may start around age 10 or 11, and her breasts will continue to develop into her late twenties. That's ten years! During that time, there will be growth spurts and dormancy. There will be soreness and times when you forget you have boobs.

Just relax and enjoy the ride. Biologically, you are still a teenager.

Like Sarah, I'm also a hooter hider. As you've seen in my blog, my body is long and thin and my breasts are 36D. I wear bras every day. Yes, I have to make clothing choices carefully. Sometimes I don't stand up straight. There are times during which I'm overheated and can't remove a layer to cool myself down. Beach or pool days in boy mode are no longer an option.

My breasts grew quickly, so I've had to work hard to hide them for over 3 1/2 of the 4 1/2 years they've been on my body. Do I regret any of this? Not at all.

It's possible that people see them and know that there are large breasts tenting out my clothes. It's also possible that they simply fail to notice. Believe it or not, I think the latter is usually the case.
