I've been using E injections for the last month or two while I've been waiting for my new HRT implant to arrive, and all I can say is OUCH!

6 years in, with breast implants, and somehow still, my boobs are killing me, more than they have at any point before in my transition. My areolas are growing, they're super puffy and hurt to even touch!

The absolute last thing I need now is more growth! Make it stop!

How were you taking HRT prior to injections?

[-] ada 12 points 2 years ago

Implants, but my old one finished, and then I waited ages before trying to replace it, and that took me a few months

And then you had a girlfirend who just happened to have injectable E just lying around...

[-] ada 11 points 2 years ago

Yes, exactly that :)

Feel free to send some of that growth my way! I have been stalled at a Tanner 3 for more than a year! Just switched how I take my progesterone and Iā€™m starting to get some pains again! šŸ¤žšŸ¾

I got breast implants because I had basically zero growth 3 years in. All of my growth has seemingly happened after that!

[-] Musicgasm@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I get hope every time someone says the majority of their growth occurred after their third year!

Iā€™m 8 months into pill-form E and oh my god if anything even brushes against a nipple? šŸ˜³

Wow didn't even know there's such a thing as HRT implants. I'm on EEv injections since 17 months..... HRT is the best

I don't even take E as a trans girl myself but i also have always had very sensitive.. chest. Its likely bc i have a very low testosterone but idk.
