Hi Didi,

An endocrinologist once told me, and I quote

...yup, those are real female breasts

though he followed up by saying I could get those removed. Lol, I went from jubilation to utter shock in less than 30 seconds. Needless to say, the only thing I got rid of was him. Didi, those are real breasts. 

I heard he retired, however, I'd like to inform him of my upcoming orchi (orchiectomy, a surgery in which one or more testicles are removed) which both testes will be removed lol. JulieTG would have something snappy to say about this, kinda like when she warned me about jumping the proverbal transgender fence she'd tell people about...never to be heard from again, and that happens more often than not here when someone gets SRS and we never hear from them again, so sad. 

I think you're experiencing that dreaded T spike once someone starts inhibiting T. I liken this as a way T goes down kicking and screaming " NO GD, you ain't getting rid of me that fast "  

Meaning testosterone wants to re-establish itself once it's been given the eviction to start shutting down the T factory. As I've stated this is temporary...maybe a month (or less) depending on the person. Once the T/E (testosterone/estrogen) has been changed favoring Estrogen you see things simmer down. I'm certain you woke up not feeling tingling was due to the above stated explanation. So, fear not Didi (and others), it's a temporary thang. 

I hope no one has to face a transphobic health care professional dashing one's hopes, dreams and goals. That's what pushed me to get hormones through DIY methods for about a year. Then, I sought out a trans care doctor to officially begin HRT in early 2015 (or HRT proper as some would call it). Here's the actual thread called "Real" concerning doctor neanderthal:

Didi, I hope you don't mind that I'm adding information about the breast hemi-circumference method of monitoring breast growth. It's gonna tell you whether your breasts growth comes from vertically or horizontally. It'll also pick up on any symmetry issues. 

I'm also sending you a pm on another matter, so look out for that to came

Perhaps some have seen the following information on reddit(?), if not it's a compilation of breast measuring tools. Of interest to myself are two measuring techniques.

1. Breast Hemicircumference
   
   
   
   
2. Breast units
   

[*]
Now the hemicircumference is measured across (3 to 6 o'clock) your breasts...this gives you cup size.

The second is measured (in centimeters) from 3 to 6 o'clock and from 12 to 6 o'clock. This tool can tell you if your breasts are growing, and not just on width but horizontal too. And these two numbers are multiplied. Too bad the graph doesn't show adult boobage numbers, I haven't been able to find such a chart. Maybe we can make our own here?.

These are my numbers as of last week:
R 33x23=759
L 31x23=713...a difference of 46.

This measuring tool will tell you if you have asymmetry (one breast is larger or smaller than the other).

Perhaps someone would like to create a new thread for folks to share their data. And if one of their breasts are asymmetric we hopefully help overcome this with different techniques.

Don't click on the breast unit links...spam ad pops up.

diometres, thanks for the feedback, I'll catch you tomorrow.
