Whew, quite the inventory of the sex and gender issues.

The undescended testicle info rang a predictive bell in all my readings and research. It has a positive correlation to many genetic syndromes… more than PMDS and MEN.   
   The testosterone spike ‘toxic’ feeling is familiar to me as having gone to zero and remaining there for months and then getting a spike to 158 of free T and then dropping off to zero again really felt awful. Did this several times in the 2 middle years of the 4 year span.
   I sympathize… 
For the abdominal pain recently perhaps an ultrasound to see if there is any obvious structures that correlate to female organs. Keep pestering the Doc about the pain so one gets ordered (diagnostic). Insurance usually pays for that. I complained for 2 years about a dull pain in my testicles until he ordered one and found bilateral lesions. That piece of the puzzle is what made the MEN 4 Dx jump to the forefront. Thankfully it wasn’t CA but the infarcted tissue could have eventually become malignant.
I do pray for a resolution to your concerns and health.
Stay in touch…
Regards, Bob

I find it so amazing how each of us arrived at basically the same place with as different of paths as people involved. It's said that 50% of all males will deal with gynecomastia at some point in their life. After meeting all of you, I wonder if 50% is a conservative number. Also that number does not say anything about side effects or other health issues are caused or causes gynecomastia. 

I also find it interesting that those of us who have been exposed to elevated estrogen for a long time have at least a feminine streak that we at least acknowledge. I think that's very powerful and is comforting to know that others experience similar feelings and thoughts, whether they publicly acknowledge it or not. We are our own community.

And what a great community. I often wish there were more than idk 6-10 active members here who often respond and such. A wonderful forum often feels more like a group chat than a popular forum for this issue. 
However no matter how many it is nice to know that those who deal with this issue and arrive here and find the conversations to be a range of science based topics, general conversation and courtesy to various views. Can find comfort in being a guy with breasts rather insecure due to what so many other forums and sites appear to lean in to when it comes to the topic of men with breasts that need support.

So much great info to read and take in.. don't know exactly where I stand in the mix. I believe what's going on with me is hormonal driven even though numbers don't really prove it. They don't disprove something is wrong with my mix either.

I don't post too ofter either but I value this site as a resource and corroboration with my own experiences.

Took new pics to share. One what it looks like above the clothes one of what is going on below bra

You have a very soft looking chest/skin and the shirt lifted absolutely shows a pair of feminine breasts. Unsure if wearing a bra in the top pic but with natural cleavage like that if not wearing one is tough to deny their growth. 
Hormones are funny and idiopathic is often the diagnosis it seems for gynecomastia. 10 years of school and residency and then career all for a co pay and a shoulder shrug lol. 
I’m having my hormones re checked next week after my recent growth and having my numbers last month come back in better and healthier ranges for males than previously in June when tested and was well below things. 
What I’ve come to learn and understand is everybody’s body varies in how it responds to estrogen in the body. It may be in normal ranges per index but if your body is sensitive to the hormones in the body then it may trigger issues like breast growth where to other men it may do absolutely nothing.

Have you heard "nice rack"directed towards you?
If the bra fits, wear it.

@ Dudewithboobs - thanks.. I was wearing my bra for the first Pic. I tend to tent out tshirts with obvious nippage when not wearing so I pretty much wear all the time. I have so skin hugging shoulder strap pullover style bralettes that don't show and switch to those if I am going to be out with crowds. They are a bit tighter but don't hide size but do dim the headlights.

@taxmapper - thanks, yeah they kinda qualify as a little perky.

@Johndoe1 - thanks they kinda grow on ya j/k

@blad - no, I think I would be deer in the headlights dumbstruck if a stranger on the street confronted me like that.
I think I am hiding in plain sight fairly well when I do go out. I could be oblivious to real perceptions though

They kinda grow on ya lmfao that’s awesome lol. 

Kudos on finding ways to go about the day to day with such a cup size. For those of us here smaller it’s very encouraging to know those like you who are much more visible in their growth seem to have no complications.

I know that my breast  development is not that significant  compared to most of you, but this morning I  did notice that  the inverted V or cleavage is becoming more noticeable.  I also feel more mass when I  massage them with oil. Also 1 nipple is becoming more pointy.  What does that indicate?

I don’t think the nipple really tells much. Could just be an erect nipple caused by the more frequent rubbing on clothing or bra. My nipples I can’t recall last time I didn’t see them up. 
I believe it’s just caused by the sensitivity of the chest due to breast tissue and rubbing on material easier than a man who has otherwise a flat chest. Could be entirely wrong. But in my experience it doesn’t really mean anything. 

And I wouldn’t be upset that breast growth isn’t as significant as others here. Take it as a blessing unless your interest is to transition and try to enlarge them. I think your chest looks great and while you can see the development it isn’t terrible so if you still wanted to enjoy shirtless activities and such shouldn’t see any responses by people noticing your chest I wouldn’t think.

I am happy to accept them as they are and quite like them  However as things have definitely progressed over the last year or so there is the uncertainty about the future.  Further growth is OK but I  don't think that I would want to reach a D cup.
