Hi all. I wasn't sure where to post this, my first real post. So I'll put it here and hope that's ok. My story is a long one, so I'll have to give a super condensed version here! In 2000 I saw a gender therapist and was sent to a Dr. who prescribed estrogen and spiro. I had pretty good results within 3 months. Approximately 6 months later I decided to transition and live FT as a female. After about 12 years of being on oral estrogen, patches, and injectable estrogen (not at the same time of course) and having gotten breast implants, for personal and medical reasons I stopped transitioning, had my implants removed, and cut way back on my estrogen. I ended up transitioning back to a male. I've lived as a male ever since but had been taking a low dose of estrogen, mainly because I didn't like the effects of the testosterone. Then last year I decided to increase my estrogen over the course of a couple months. The results were very surprising. At least to me. I figured after having taken estrogen for 12 years, I wouldn't see much of a change as far as breast growth. I was wrong. My areolas and nipples got darker and bigger (my nipples were already fairly big) and my breasts began to get bigger and heavier. By the time they got to be impossible to even try to hide, it was fall and I could wear a tee underneath a flannel shirt and at least tone it down a bit. Now that spring is here, I'm having to get used to being a male with very noticeable breasts. I'm back to wearing tees and not worrying about what other people think. My breasts are still growing, maybe not quite as fast, but still getting noticeably bigger. So that's a condensed version of my last 17 years. I've been following along with all the posts here on the site for quite awhile, and finally decided it was time to add my own. Maybe I can help others who may be going through what I did, or what I'm going through now...living as a male with female breasts. Here are a couple pics. The first (in the green tee) was taken early last summer. The second one was taken just about two months ago.

Hi Bluegill,
Welcome!
It looks like you've had a unique yet difficult journey to get to this point. I think you will find that this is a very unique site, with a lot of sympathy, compassion and support, for what ever or whomever you are or aspire to be. You do have very nice breasts, and if you had a male chest after your implants were removed, you have had impressive growth! Obviously your body is in tune to taking the meds you are on.
Again , welcome and thanks for jumping in and offering to help others, as that's what this site is all about.
