What happens to a woman's breasts as she begins hormone treatment? Specifically, do both her nipples and areolas get bigger as her breasts enlarge? I'm assuming they both do, but just looking for clarification. Do the breasts and nipples also become more sensitive? Thanks.

As someone that’s been on hrt for about 2yrs now, there’s been a few changes.

Being overweight, I already had “man boobs” & large nipples/areolas but the shape of my breasts rounded out and grew a bit. My nipples look more like a cis woman’s when stimulated/cold. Before hrt they would scrunch up like a guys, now they stand out like a cis woman.

A fair bit of sensitivity increase as well.

I've been on estradiol for four months now, and so far all I've noticed is that my breast buds are growing and are SORE all the time. My nipples and areola have grown a small amount, but otherwise not much yet. It takes time, and as with any part of medical transition, YMMV.

Thank you! I don't mind sharing if it might help others. And I hope things continue to go well too!

Yeah, I started noticing the breast buds enlarging and being sore by a month in. It just continues like that for a while is what I understand (and have experienced thus far). I'm told it takes up to two to three years for breasts to grow, and can take as long as four to five for some.

Yes I was told about the same amount of time but also noticed a calming effect with my head also never been so calm in my life as I am now
Yes! Within a week I felt a "fog" lift off of my brain and I felt calm, content, and happy, truely, for the first time in my life! It was AMAZING! And that feeling has not gone away! I've been on estradiol for four months now and it has only gotten better (for the most part). I do still have to deal with dysphoria, and depression, but the depression is usually not as bad as it used to be.

Do either of you envision having breast implants? I wonder what effect that has on your nipples? Thoughts?

No, I have no intention of having any sort of breast enhancement surgery. I want my breasts to grow in naturally, and I'll be happy with however they turn out.

Thank you! I've got some really nice breast buds going right now, but otherwise they're not growing much yet...but I'm only a hair over four months into my transition. I can't wait till my whole body, boobs and everything look completely female!
