CreakyKeegan Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am a biological male. I am thinking of doing Hormone Replacement Therapy to become a woman. However... I do have a question. What did it feel like (For you genetic women out there) when your breasts started growing? I ask this because... I may have a hormone imbalance already with more Estrogen than Testosterone... As for awhile... I have noticed on and off pain in my breast area... And I looked in the mirror, and they seem to be growing. O_O Though I am not sure if they are... What did it feel like for you when your breasts started growing? I hear of this lump forming... and my breasts do not have a lump... But they seem to be growing. (I am not on hormones.) >.< Yeah... So... I was just wondering... Link to post Share on other sites
KayleeSaeihr Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Perhaps you should have a blood test and an exam? Link to post Share on other sites
HappySun Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hhmmm in all honesty I don't recall a particular growth feeling. It happens over quite a long period of time. May be you should get it checked by a doctor to see? Link to post Share on other sites
Pandoren Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 It was just a gradual thing... like how you grow gradually anyway. I don't actually remember my breasts growing, lol, they just did... I'm pretty sure they never hurt though. Occasionally I get a little bit of pain, but then again I get pain everywhere else sporadically too so maybe not a problem! It might be lymph nodes of something that are around that area... If you are worried about it, see a doctor :) Link to post Share on other sites
knout Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yeah I think male breasts are usually a sign of hormone imbalance (especially if you're not overweight) so a blood test might help ? Link to post Share on other sites
Gatto Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah I think male breasts are usually a sign of hormone imbalance (especially if you're not overweight) so a blood test might help ? Actually, I think usually they are not. I remember on Seinfeld once, Kramer had this idea of selling a bra for men (which was called the "bro", as I recall). All men have a certain amount of estrogen, and high testosterone can actually cause high estrogen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecomastia Link to post Share on other sites
Shinnok Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Genetic female here. Hi Narf ^___^ Anyway, the only time I feel pain in my breasts is when it's close to my period. I guess it's from retaining water. I've never had growth pains. For being a bio-male though I don't think growth pain is common. Maybe you should get it checked out And if you do go on hormones, I've heard from MtF's that the breast thing can get hard to get used to :P Link to post Share on other sites
