Frequent Growth Spurts?

[Parity]

I’m late 30s often feeling like a young kid here lol I say that not to insult at all but at my age it’s been tough to deal with the fact my body is contrary to my efforts continued to grow here and there. I’ve yet to develope the i don’t care mentality and believe that may be due to not having total freedom in wearing a bra such as round family and friends. But as they’ve grown I have gotten more comfortable with the subject if it were to be presented or brought up. I also have more of a Gambino than Barbie attitude toward things lol which helps. I do think with age just comes comfort in the ins and outs of life and changes that come with it. Circumstances may alter the comfort of it but it builds and gets better regardless

   I get where your at.  I've got 30 years on you and although it's easier for me, It's far from accepted by many in my circle.  I still tone things down when with them.  Often to me being uncomfortable only to make them comfortable.  Strange it has to be that way, yet I'm willing to do it for their benefit.  Is that a cop-out?  I would argue not.  Their unwillingness to learn and see things as most normal caring people would makes me feel even better for being the caring one.  I think it's very possible you will be like me.  Feeling good inside, living most days unaware of others taking a sideways glance yet caring enough about those we love to be "uncomfortable", toning things down at our expense, for their benefit.  
I can live with that.
I hope things will get better for you.
Cheers Mate

Things have changed enough as of late that many things seen as taboo are slowly being accepted. 
A friend of mine from 30 years ago contacted me and needed some help on something. We got to talking and "catching up", and my current status as "girl'mode" was discussed. 
She of course knew me in boy-mode prior, but knew something was different back then. Even her boyfriend used to call me culon (big a$$) and I was skinny. I always wore baggy shirts and layers. 
I didn't date much and kept to myself. 
She asked for recent pictures and said, "damn girl, you have birthing hips and a hell of a rack!"
She said I look so much better NOT hiding what God blessed me with. 
Just a few decades ago finding someone that would understand was next to impossible, now I find people everyday. It's not everyone, but it's getting better. 

And if they don't like it, does their opinion really matter at the end of the day?

Taxmapper  i totally agree estrogen is very powerful, the bigger i get the more i like them.

[BAB]

Itchy and painful with occasional hot flashes. Been going on for about a month. Starting to really "pop" out.  Yee haw.

Bras can get expensive 

Too old for T therapy. Contraindicated at my age and some conditions. These conditions (4) also generate osteoporosis. Since I no longer have testicles I have no T and very diminished E as one adrenal gland is removed and the other is polycystic. Actually the E is immeasurable. Prednisone playing havoc with the gland. Started on an estrogen patch low dose variety so I hope the growth is minimal at this point. Cups are on the cusp of 44 C /D. DEXA scan today to see if this is helpful on bone density.
Hoping to stay the same size.But I still get the ‘growth’ sensations occasionally.

The outside mid to upper area of my boobs are so sore this week. At the moment it’s literally quite painful. Idk if this kind of pain is normal or indicative of anything but I’m curious if it’s a peak of a spurt occurring. Really looking to possibly getting a full lab work done ahead of my Naps visit in February to see if something is going on that shouldn’t be.

Sorry to hear your feeling extreme discomfort. 
Hang in there hopefully it subsides for you soon.

I am 71 and I have gotten a weird achy feeling that is sometimes painful on a somewhat regular basis for the last 3-4 years. I wear a 38B bra every day, but am not getting any bigger, so no "growth spurts".

Rats, 
DEXA scan places me into osteoporosis.

Breasts are not giving the sensation of growing but they seem to be slowly growing larger, not too concerned re the growth but worried a bit about fracture potential.

Repeat blood tests next month will give an indication if the E level has come up from sub therapeutic levels 
    This will be a delicate balancing act trying to stop osteo and prevent stones from Ca++ administration but not enough E to re excited prolactin tumor.

Hoping for the luck of the Irish on this end .

Sending prayers for a good outcome.

Hope for good outcomes and great results!

so back to another update: 

i posted similar before but its come around again.  
i am hovering around 204-210 in weight, and am back to 50 inches around the bust.  

yesterday morning I went to breakfast and put on a recently purchased bra.  

Well interestingly enough, while heading down, I felt for the first time a "lift" in the cups I never felt before.  it has always been more of a shaped "strapping" of sorts where the boobs were just kept in place. 

Now, I actually felt the "lift" and I can tell you that it felt really GOOD with them being "held" rather than compressed.

Update:

Returned labs now showing a measurable E level, barely.

All else is good but the prolactin levels are creeping up. Still outstanding is the Chromogranin A cancer marker.
Body feels like it’s settling down but I noticed I fill out the new underwire Wacoal more than a month ago.

Not concerned about the new growth or those that may notice, I am in a happy place.

I finally got the doc. To let me try the spero.  Only a few days now and only slight drop in the bp. 

On a seperate note though, I can feel the breasts poking outward.  Not just a pushing sensation inside, but an actual feeling or largbess outside

I was on spero for several years until my current doctor immediately took me off it. It controlled the swelling in my legs much better than the current lasix. 

My current doctor said, "Spero can cause breast tissue growth, and in your case you don't need anymore of it." (I"m an F cup currently)

When I make it to Oregon I do hope I can go back on Spero instead of Lasix.
