Growth again.

[taxmapper]

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.

[taxmapper]

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. 

[WPW717]

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.

Taxmapper,

  I wanted to just check in with you and see how the Spironolactone is working out for you and if your BP is stable and in the target area?
I have been battling high BP and have been on so many new scripts in the last 6 months.  Today we are trying one more new thing but we are very concerned with the issues I'm having with fluid retention in the abdomen and lower legs.  This new one added is a 30 day trial to closely watch for more retention. 

  Is that working for you and should that be a consideration for me?
If you don't want to go into it here PM me if you would rather.  Thanks

I have been on Losartin for 20 years.  When I was working, during the financial crisis, I was doing 14hr days 7 days a week.  My BP was 160/110.  I gained 30lbs and was a health disaster.  My doctor told me that they would drag me out with my boots on.  We survived and after that, I retired.  Life is more important than work.

Most Executives, have a compulsive disorder.  I know I do.  I am now focused on my health.  I walk 3 miles a day and exercise for 30 minutes.  I have lost 56lbs, gained muscle and have a bunch of new clothes.  Goodwill is happy.

My BP at my recent Dr. visit was 116/59.  They still want me taking Losartin.  

As a side note.  I lost 8" in the waist, 42 to 40 in my bra strap size and now a full C cup.  Hard to hide it but, at 74, I don't care.

Good for you Oldguy. 

   I have been on Losartan and my numbers have reached 190 over118.  We have brought it down to the 130's  over 90's. We are  still tweaking the meds.  It's the water retention that bothers me I'm semi-retired, and that's the best I can do for now.  I have to have an involvement in things for a time yet.  I too was walking 3-4 miles a day until I had a toe issue we just resolved.  I'm back at it.  A couple years ago was 8-10 and felt great.

Most I ever did daily, in walking, was 5 miles. I did 3.73 miles a month ago and survived.  Only 2 miles the next day.  Moderation in everything, including walking.
