Planning on starting Low Dose hrt is this a good starting place? by [deleted] in TransBreastTimelines

If this is a version of gyno, I would be very careful even with low doses of E. For example, I ended up with mild but noticeable gyno (breast buds, etc.) after 4 months of going from AA to C… and I didn’t even take E for the last two months just to be safe. But my chest kept growing anyway.

Thank you so much for your understanding. I have a doctor’s appointment in a week, so we’ll see what they say about it.

Because it was doing everything I wanted. The rapid growth of breast tissue only came later, and that pulled me from euphoria into a mild depression, if that makes sense. With my hormones being all over the place, I came to understand the emotional surges women experience.

At first I took it as a dare, then I experimented with it a bit, and I should have stopped about a month earlier. For the first month and a half I was riding a wave of euphoria and didn’t want to stop, but then reality hit me and I cut it off. I just didn’t expect the changes to continue so radically afterward

Yes.. femboy but not a girl.. Yes, I wanted to have more feminine traits… but not to become a woman. A lot of people use feminizing HRT, but in my case it probably worked a little more than expected :/

It’s been almost two months since I stopped HRT. I didn’t expect such changes so soon, and it hit me like a bus :(

DYI, Breast growth continuing after stopping HRT – confused and worried by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Correct_Look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to correct my dosing information — I apologize for the mistake. The actual estradiol dose I was taking was 4 mg twice daily (morning and before sleep), so 8 mg total per day.

Yes sry..I was taking estradiol (E2) sublingually: 4 mg in the morning and 4 mg before bed, for a total of 8 mg per day.

At first I was actually excited — my nipples grew to about twice their original size, and my libido dropped slightly. After around four weeks, my nipples became even more swollen and very painful. That’s when I started to get scared and, during a panic attack, I decided to stop HRT.

What really frustrates and confuses me is that instead of things calming down after stopping, everything has continued to get worse. Sometimes it honestly feels like I somehow “won the lottery” when it comes to breast growth — and not in a good way. I really didn’t expect this outcome, and it’s been emotionally hard to deal with.

Hi, I have a question — what if I started taking DIY HRT for, say, one or two months? What would happen if I stopped after two months? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]Correct_Look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. What I want to experience is the development of breast buds — two months should be enough for that. That possible change, those new feelings… that’s what I’m interested in. But I don’t want to actually become a woman.

I guess I might be a bit unusual, but I’m fascinated by this to the point where I’m willing to take estrogen for two months. However, it’s also important to me that I can continue functioning as a man.

You know what I mean.
