Would you grow breasts?

Hi all,

I would not want to take the risks to grow real breasts - I just remove and put away my fake ones when I am don't want to wear them. They don't get in the way when I don't want them.

With the arthritis medication I'm taking, I don't want to take any more.

Hi Sally,

You are both brave and determined, and I wish you the best. Clearly you have gone into this with your eyes open and well aware of the risks. More power to you.

I've been reading the messages in this thread (and others like it in this forum), and I am delighted to see the level of caution and rationality that is expressed. I think it is indicative of the intellectual level of the members, and perhaps of the CD community in general. It makes me all the happier that I have joined the group.

Well I guess I am the odd one in this category. I do not want any more of a breast than what I have, which fills a beginners bra. I really enjoy the feel of wearing a bra that is filled with a lite weight filler.

Hi all,

No, no breasts for me. My own are more than ample enough to satisfy the requirements of the illusion of my being a woman.

The real clincher, for me, is this: I'm not a chemically-oriented person. I cringe at the thought of taking a Tylenol, even (I usually let a headache pass--and it always does). Last November, I underwent surgery and was prescribed a powerful painkiller (I forget which); it completely threw my system out of whack. I stopped taking them after two or three days.

How much more so would I be nervous about taking hormones? Very, very much more so!

Not to say that I'm against HT or the taking of TB's for those who truly wish to do so... as long as they're fully informed of the possible risks and that they do so under medical supervision. About herbal hormones, I, too, have read that the results aren't clinically significant in the dosages suggested (and you should always respect posologic indications--regardless of the particular product).

Love,
CJ

Only if I transitioned--and that's anything but a certainty.

I have what I have and that is more than I want. I use to weigh in at 320 pounds and I got mine then. Have done everything I can think of to get rid of them because of my Male pride. I only weigh in at 190 now after gastic bypass.

I like them when the pain of CDing hits me which I am still not handling well. Too much of the Army Ranger in me to totally except this in myself.

They do get in the way a lot. I am with CJ I hate medicine except for my blood pressure and special medicine that makes me sane. I am on pain med's today due to my broken wrist. Gee.

Hi all.

No breasts for me! Granted, I LOVE the look when I dress up and I LOVE breasts in general (I love looking at them, touching them, etc...) but I DON'T want them like a GG would.

GoldenMaia is a D-cup right now, and seeing all the extra care she has to take before she goes to ride makes be cringe. She went for a short bareback ride on her pony yesterday and watching those things bouncing out hurt me just watching! No thanks!

If you do want them, keep 'em small ##oo##

You were the odd one out, but it seems that's not the case with the last few posts.

That's another thing I love about this forum. When you think you're alone there are other who go, "No. Me too!

Just my $.02 worth but I think it's very important.
I've had breasts (gynecomastia) since about age 15, now somewhere between a B and C cup. Yes, I've tried hormones but after much study and worry, I've abandoned them since I haven't been able to locate a physician that I would feel comfortable with asking about hormones.
It's worth noting that the maximum amount of breast development in a male (while taking hormones) will probably be about the same level of development as your mother. If your mother was large-busted, then you'll be capable of just about the same size. If small-busted, then that's what's in store for you. I now wear about the same size bra as my mother did.
If you're going to pursue SRS or transition then of course, bust development will be a part of it. If, however, you desire to operate in androgynous mode, you're going to be very limited - no more t-shirts, swimming trunks, or even skins/shirts basketball games. While there are positive aspects, there are also lots of negative ones.
Just my opinion - that and a buck or so will probably buy a cup of coffee.

Due to my current employer I have no hope of starting any hormone treatment for breast growth. However as Celly has stated , you will generally grow to roughly your mother's dimensions under Hormones. Time to stock up on DD or larger for me! I'm already between an A and B without any outside influences or chemical inducement. I have already made the decision to start transition at the end of my employment contract, and start life anew as Hayley. Only three and a half years to go before this can come to fruition. Also it is difficult to find a therapist where I live so an interstate move is in order first.

So in answer, yeah sure, I would gladly have breasts, just not via surgery, unless absolutely the last resort to complete how I want to look.

In a perfect world I would say yes, I definately want to grow breasts but in a real world I wear silicones when I need them. There are moments when it´s easier without the DDs

oh yes please.

I'd settle for just a pair of sensitive puffy nipples on a slight swelling breast, no more than A cup, that I could hide when I want, and make the best of when it suits. But I wouldn't risk the hormones after all the warnings from you girls.

Horrible thought

if I had breasts and chest hair I'd end up with stubble around my nips. Shaving my pecs is bad enough already !

Hello all--
Beauty, I'm struck by your saying that wearing the forms just doesn't feel right any more. I have had that feeling, and have ignored it, since I don't intend to take any hormones at this time. But it's there, and I'm glad you pointed it out. I guess I don't like the "unreal" aspect of stuffing my bra with fillers--it makes it seem like it's all play-acting, and that's not how I experience it.
