Growth again and I am feeling it... HARD!
My breasts are aching so harshly right now and it's all growth.
I wonder if I am going to end up with D or E cups in the end. But regardless...
For now, they just ache!
-
Hopefully they will hurry up and finish growing. At least that’s how I feel. Do you think a heating pad might help? Or over the counter meds?

I know your pain 😐
I'm going through the same.

Hopefully I am just coming out of such a period of growth. Usually I have had deep discomfort but this time it has been rock hard pain.
I sympathise and trust it will be better before too long

^This!
The sensation last night was of pressure outward, and the typical (micro pop rock) sensation again. it finally passed just before bed, but this is a bit more frequent right now. I am at 50 inches pushing 51.

What you described sounds like a rapid breast growth. You may want to get a referral to your breast care center for an examination. You definitely need to establish a base line if you haven't already. Get a digital examination, a mammogram and ultrasound and chest x-ray. At least you will know where you are and be able to predict where you are potentially going.

over the past week I have been feeling 'bloating" and the girls are doing their expand-contract thing.
Alot of pushing sensation and I hit over 51 inches on last Friday.
That went back down due to extreme stress.
They went back down to about 49.75 and are moving back up again.
Hips have been uncomfortable again and lower back sore.

Mine slowed down for awhile, but started getting sore again yesterday too.

Now I have time for a better answer.
Swelling is something that I have and do suffer from, and I have noticed that when I swell the girls seem to swell as well. Even though swelling is more noticable in the hands and ankles, it effects the whole body.
As my girls achieved D cup and beyond, I noticed lots of back and neck pain that for the longest time I didn't associate it with my breasts.
After months of hot packs and pain a nurse suggested I try an underwire bra instead.
My first day in a well fitted underwire and my pains went away, never to return.
Needless to say, my old bra collection was put in a charity box.
As far the cause of your swelling, I only know what my doctor said in my case. I have weak kidneys, stage 3 kidney disease to be exact. I now take meds twice a day for it. I would see a doctor about the swelling because it can be a sign of many things.
Also be aware that hormonal issues can be a trigger, mine are way off for what the doctor would expect. Mine are more typical of perimenopause.
-
Kidney disease is no joke. Hope its acute. Not sure if it’s pre, intra or post but hope all is well.
Well, I was stage 1 about 10 years ago so it is advancing rather slowly. Watching my salt and diet, controlling my blood sugars.
I'm just fine, I'm no spring chick anymore. 😉

Thanks

Well, back to being between 49.5 and 51 inches.
Having alot of growing pains and some pings have been quite painful.
Every time this happens I get to another inch of growth, up from 49 inches in jan. to tipping the bottom of 51 now.
Hormones are a weird thing, and moreover feelings, emotions and my general looks are all different now.
-
Starting to show more
-
I hope your able to just take it as it comes. Honestly that picture makes you look better than a lot of gents that walk around. Keep your chin up. You look good.

That is quite true. One should look into a well fitted underwire bra if your girls get of any significant size. 😉

Well couple more checkmarks on my end:
I have had lousy teeth my whole life.
This has led me to a situation where when I was 17 I had braces.
(Not 8, 17!)
Well one of the many odd things I simply could not wrap my head around was why I had so many physical issues growing up.
My teeth were something that my mother said, she believed that god looked at my mouth and threw in a bunch of teeth and said.. here do something...
Well reading several articles on JSTOR, I found evidence (though nothing directly written) that growth hormones affect how large the teeth get.
My teeth simply never fit my mouth.
They were always larger than my jaw could handle and crowded in.
In a very dry and long winded article written on growth hormones in children and orthodontics, there was alluded tot he idea that male and female teeth are more affected (this because of the baby teeth-adult teeth thing) that women's teeth are smaller overall. Then men's teeth (though in actuality only by about 5% or so) are larger. the teeth are overly sensitive to growth hormone and androgyne (male hormones).
This means that men's teeth by this theory grow larger and if I have a smaller more "dainty" female sized and structured jaw (which would explain alot) my teeth wouldn't fit.
Which they dont.
This is more theory than something actually explored, but I think that angle has not been explored because it isn't on the radar of anyone.
Its all subjective, but the evidence is there.
-
more pain and growth sensation.
bra cups are now fully filled, but not pushing out yet.
-
Here we are again.
I dropped down and am holding to 203-207 lbs.
But my bust has been sore and itchy. I recently felt more of the "pop rock" sensation and moreover, yesterday I measured out and popped up to 50 inches again, then it fell back down to 48-1/2 inches.
Emotions are weird, (have a ton of stressor going on) but I have resisted crying, have weird feelings and emotions, and desires that are throwing me way off.
I actually love the changes taking place, I just wish it would hurry up!
I have a feeling that by the end of the year I may be much more busty than I am now, and may have started curving out.
Note: I am NOT taking any estrogen or similar supplements, its all God's hand.
-
Week 2 of estrogen patch is over. It is for bone health. It’s the lowest dose possible for this, the safest delivery method. There is an underlying’ feeling of awareness’ in my breasts. Could be a sign of growth? We shall see but I am okay if it happens. It’s beyond my ability to predict and my ability to consistently camouflage 44 D breasts.
I am wondering what my chest would look like sans hair. I find the idea appealing.
-
Update:
On the Sperono, and I am down to 205 this am. BP is down slightly and trending downward.
Bust size has not moved and I still feel the pressure outward. They seem to be getting larger in proportion to what they were previously, but I dont know if its actual growth or the weight loss making them more refined.
-
The BP went down only slightly over the past few weeks on 25mg. I sent data tot he doc. about the results and she wants to up to 50mg and pull a BMP in about three weeks.
i have absolutely no headaches now and feeling far calmer and more at ease. This am the BP was 119/93, PR 67, %SPO2 at 93 but at 6300 feet ASL.
I am feeling way better now, and breasts are somewhat sore and are starting to define.
We'll see how this plays out.
-
Glad to hear things seem to be working and health is don’t well.
-
Well according tot he Endo., my chromosomes are XY. but Ill see if they post it.
-
Yeah, so are mine but I am in flux
AMAB, puberty, adulthood, andropause, MEN syndrome, gynecomastia, partial female puberty, acne and all, then hot flashes and a menopausal osteoporotic finish and a home plate slide into eunuchhood.
I hope your path is simpler and the answers are forthcoming soon. Stay strong & keep us in the loop, prayers to your wellbeing.
-
My chromosomes are XY however I have PMDS, so apparently as a result my body was unable to develop properly. I should have been born fully male but was not.
So basically I have a uterus and fallopian tubes however developed testicles instead of ovaries. I also did not develop a penis but rather an enlarged clitoris. But I am not alone in this as one in 1500 children will be born intersex within varying degrees. That has been part of life since mankind has existed.
Puberty brought the wide birthing hips and breasts, yet my gender assigned at Birth was still male. That of course cause quite the confusion in school.
My current doctor is at a loss and how to treat me. I assume that I am the very first patient that he's ever seen in my condition. I'm not really getting the proper treatment from him at all. Even though he said that birth control pills would calm hot flashes and night sweats, he couldn't bring himself to give me a prescription for them and instead said," let nature take its course."
I get a physical every six months and during that process he does a breast exam, but we are prohibited from talking about breasts at the centre. In fact we are not even allowed to talk about gender. He reaches into my bra and checks my breasts without saying a word and never talks about it. They are a very strict religious oriented organisation.
The recent MRI of my liver shows three tumors of about 3 cm each, they are quite common in females but normally not found in males. When they are found in males they are usually cancerous, but mine apparently were not. This also was very confusing to my medical staff. So now I'm just scheduled to go in every 6 months for an ultrasound to watch them.
My medical team is absolutely not the proper team for my condition, and I can't wait to get moved to Oregon.

Hey Birdie... that is why I prefer female doctors. More empathetic. The male doctor at the mammogram was polite but not very personable. I hope it works out for you soon. The abject discrimination is IMO disgusting.
