I'm a GG and I recently had pains in me legs which made me way nervous. So I stopped the birthcontrol pills. I'm going to talk with me doc when I have me annual next month and let her know. I'll say this to you, pain is never normal. K?

unless it's a pain in the nipples. That is normal. ...................but I don't suppose your nipples are in the centre of your chest. :rolleyes:Quote:

While I have had a few odd chest pains, I do not know that they are or have been related to hormone therapy. I have mentioned it to my doctor in the past and he advised me to take ibuprophen for it... What I experience now and then seems to be a rather shallow, light pain, more of an odd discomfort really. My stress level at the time does not seem to matter, as I can experience it with little stress at all... So far, it has not bothered me enough to more than mention it to my doctor, if it does however I will bring it up again. Oh, I did have him do a chest X-Ray, that turned up nothing... :)
Hormone therapy is a risky thing to be doing to one's self, so if you're really concerned, make sure that your doctor knows that and if necessary go for a second opinion. It's your heart afterall...:cool:
Back in the late 70's or early 80', I tried a few of my wife's birth control pills, and they caused a chest pain in the center of my chest also. Never had it checked though, and all current checks of my heart are ok.

Having been on the hormones for a few weeks it wouldn't be out of order for your doctor to check to see how things are going and for you to tell him/her everything.Quote:

Tried to stay quiet, but you know me . . . :rolleyes:
Well I've been to the doctor and no heart problems but he doesn't seem to know what the problem is. I tend to think it could be from fluid acculmilation since estrogen causes fluid retention.Quote:

cause it to flair. Also water retention can to. If the doc ran
test and nothing with the ticker is suspected your probably ok.

Are you under a doctors care if not you could be in trouble Please see a Doctor.
As I said in my other note I am very lucky to have a doc for my SO, and am currently in transformation.
18 days on Estradiol patches 100mcg and I have the most wonderful itching and aching in my nipples. I feel like I'm about to blossom. Can't stop touching them. :)Quote:
