how do i avoid them. i know one of the tanner stages involved conetits but i dont think i'll ever recover mentally if i'm stuck with hairy mantits, just the possibility of it makes me shudderwhat causes them? is it being hondosed? not eating enough? am i blowing this way outta proportion and they just go away after some time and proper E dosage?
>>41551710iunno, ppl used to say it was cos hons started on a too high dose, incorrectly thinking more e = more woman, and so u need to ramp up over timethese days it seems like that's the opposite of what ppl say, so who knows tbqh
>>41551762i am guessing its like. a phase you'll go through maybe, but eventually ur full breast grows out with time. of course there's a genetic side to it, but it's mostly a transitional process, and we have evolved terminology cuz im sure i'm not the only paranoid mess that would hate to be stuck with cone tits lmfao
>>41551794yeh I guess, iunno, I figure it's a lot more complicated than the 'experts' online make it out to berecently I have been reading more about auto-immune related development, including unusual breast growth as a rare immune responsereally most theories u can read online are comically simple like emulating menstrual cycles with e dose cos duh women menstruate etc
>>41551710Some cis women get them. It appears to be a connective tissue disorder. There's surgery available to correct it.It often looks worse in trans women because the male chest cross section is more circular than oval. This makes the breasts tend to point outward to the sides rather than forward.
>>41551710smth smth estrone being responsible for breast bud formation but also being 1/10 as feminizing as estradiol so it's avoided like the plague (rightfully) in most regimens. think only Powers suggests estrone cycling which might help. also some/most people have poor responses to hrt in general after a while due having slow COMT genes and receptors being crowded out by weaker forms of estrogen. read: https://www.reddit.com/r/DrWillPowers/s/pwcbxsDBbCAlso prog is needed last tanner stage 3 to complete breast development but also may cap size once introduced In reality we sort of have no idea, most trans women get shitty breast development anyway, even youngshits, read this study for more info: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/110/5/e1404/7734696?login=falseIt could be something to do with estrogen sensitivity, or maybe there's a critical period that's missed, or maybe it's a male skeleton anyway you'll be okay with your tits after a while, but yeah, properly dose and eat food
>>41551710starting progesterone after being on e for a bit helped round mine out but they're still small and look dumb bc male rib cage.
>>41552117im on sublingual E rn but i'm abt to change to injections as soon as my vial arrives, so i guess i did the whole "start with low E levels + estrone" shtick unconventionally. bud formation has been very noticeable, esp since i was super skinny b4 starting hrti dont mind having small breasts, i just want them to be "normal", if that makes sense>>41551892that's what i fear as well! i got a very wide chest area and im starting to work out, so i dunno if muscle growth will push my breasts to the side or something. rlly hoping this somehow fixes itself with time, cuz they already are pointing outward (doesnt help that i also have pectus excavatum, but that's a problem for future me ig)
>>41551710> hairywell you do know they invented hair removal right... hrt isnt gonna change that very much
>>41552265prog helped me round them out as well
>>41552471Fix your pectus excavatum before doing any sort of breast surgery.
>>41552117I was 2 years on oral E (yes, oral) and my E2 to E1 conversion was 13 fold (60pgml 800pgml respectively) and my breasts grew normally but the kind of look like cone tits but it could be too early to tell. Today I am on 4mg troonshine.Make of it what you want.
