A little Experiment with Hormones

[Badtranny]

You're one of the lucky ones! How long have you been on HRT ? and how old are you?

Don't believe anything anybody says. Make them show you, or assume they're just making it up.

That is so true Melissa


Also one of the big problems we have is that we are simply bigger..our chests are wider ..the distance from the back to the front of chest is different...so we say "c cup" but when you look at it sometimes its just a barrel chest..

the best thing you can do is take the dr's dosage, cross your fingers, wait two years and get BA and you can look basically any way you want

Close to 6 years HRT and I gained very little in the boob department. Luckily I had the foresight ( defined as "impatience") to get a B/A at the time I started my hormone regime. With computer enhancement a B looked suitable... Not too big and not too small. In the almost six years I am a solid C so all I gained from HRT was about one cup size.
Physical changes via HRT is a crap shoot at best.
I tried rubbing toilet paper on my chest... It seemed to work on my butt.

Ummm.. psst.. Kelly you were supposed to stuff your bra with the toilet paper prior to BA. Whatever you did to your butt worked well though.

Well I went a week without any Estrogen. That's all I could stand! I didn't feel "right". I'm back on my full dose now. No harmful side affects though so that's good! And actually my boobs look a little bigger!

But I won't do that again. I felt too weird to be off the E.

Now I feel like me again!

Thus concludes this little experiment...

Exactly right. Anyway I measure, I'm a B. But I don't look like a B. The effect simply isn't the same.

While I do not advocate messing with hormones, they are powerful life altering drugs after all, I can relay my experiences. Due to misgivings about being on HRT due to the devastating effect on my marriage, I have stopped HRT twice for about a month each (I have been on them a total of 28 months). In both cases after resumption, I have had the sore boob growth feeling with my boobs growing and my bust measurement gaining about an inch each time. I have no idea whether this is coincidence or not.

One thing I note is that girls who have SRS often report a growth spurt post surgery. I wonder if this is correlated with having to stop HRT for the month prior to SRS?

Anyway, these are just must experiences and nothing more.

[Kalista Drake]

That sounds great actually! But I wouldn't mess with the E again unless it was absolutely necessary! I hated being off from it!

[celeste26]

Actually KateConnor, that reaction is due to the total lack of 'T.' No more need to block it after the surgery.

[Kalista Drake]

But the E is what grows boobies.

hun,
yep, doctor

That was not my experience at all. I lost everything during that month off and never got it back until I started Androcur 18 months later.
