Hormones

A new TGF user asks about a second growth spurt due to HRT.

HI ladies,

I have been on hormones for about 10 years. (Pre op transitioned)

A couple of years ago I found myself in a toxic living situation and was drinking daily and reduced my hormones for various reasons including money and wasn’t caring for myself. I noticed I lost a lot of weight and because of all this was slightly less passable. (Always had been passable since transition.)

Anyhow, I have since gone to rehab and got my life back in order. I’m no longer drinking and smoking or doing drugs. I’m completely rehabilitated. I’m eating right again also. Self care back to normal. And with all this I’ve upped my hormones again to how they used to be. I’m doing it more carefully this time. It’s been about 6-8 weeks back on a higher dose of hormones (including transdermal gels Sandrena). Not sure if I’m looking more passable again yet but I’ve noticed my breasts are tender, a little swollen and itchy. I think my breasts are re-growing. I have smallish breasts about an A cup. My skin feels a bit smoother again.

My question is:

Am I going to be ok and is it possible, has anyone ever heard of trans people stoping/starting hormones after years on them to find when they re start their body kicks into gear mode and they have a second growth spurt. I’m really surprised with my breast growth. Is it still possible to have another spurt like this after about a decade later and how much longer would it take to be as passable as I once was. I’m relatively young still in the 30s now.

Any info on this sort of thing would be much appreciated.

 

Kind regards

I started off at a young age, I knew I was supposed to be born a girl so I started dressing in my sister’s dresses & skirts. Within two years I was polishing my fingers & toe nails, getting dressed up completely ie: panties, bras & pantyhose, wearing full makeup, doing my own hair & sneaking outside at night to walk around. Then I found out my sister was taking estrogen pills & I began stealing them & taking them, after about three months, my sister told our mother that her estrogen pills were not lasting her like they should, my mother & sister asked me if I was taking my sister’s pills, I told them that I was not & I stopped taking her pills. A few months later, while going thru my sister’s clothes looking for something to wear, I found my sister’s birth control pills, our mother didn’t know anything about my sister being on them so I took them all, my sister couldn’t tell our mom. I took my sister’s birth control pills every month for five months, after the third month my boobies started to grow, I loved it, if I wore just a tee shirt you could plainly see my nipples & two small bumps pushing out my shirt. One day while my mother & sister went shopping, I put on my sister’s panties, push up bra & suntan pantyhose along with her tight, skinny jeans, black, open toed pumps & her black, low cut, tight fitting top, I put my hair up in a bun, put on full makeup & perfume, got one of her purses & went down stairs & sat on the sofa while I gave my finger nails three coats of bright red nail polish that I found in my mother’s room. As I waited for my nails to dry, I looked at myself in the mirror, I loved what I saw but I wanted to look more feminine, I got my mom’s tweezers & plucked my eyebrows into pencil thin, highly arched lines, I didn’t care about how I was going to explain my feminine eyebrows, I just wanted to look as much like a girl as I could. I then got a sewing needle & double pierced both of my ears, I went to my sister’s jewelry box & got two pairs of large, silver, hoop earrings which I put into the holes in my ears. When I went back down stairs & looked in the big mirror, I actually saw a real girl looking back at me, I was amazed at what a difference thin, arched brows made to feminize your face & I just loved how my earrings swung from my ears every time I moved my head. With my sister’s push up bra, you could easily see my cleavage with the low cut top & looking down at my feet, I could see my dark red toe nails covered with pantyhose peeking thru the open toes of my heels. I was so happy with the way I looked that I just had to go outside so people could see me. I decided to change out of my skinny jeans & into a skirt before I go outside, I chose my sister’s grey, belted, mini skirt to wear & traded my jeans for the skirt, I got my purse then did one final check in the mirror then headed out of the back door & into our yard. I walked to the back of our yard then thru the neighbors yard &out to the street. I loved hearing my heels clicking on the sidewalk & the cool air blowing on my pantyhose covered legs but the best feeling was seeing all of the cars that were passing me, seeing me as the girl I so wanted to be. I walked all the way to the main street where I went over to the bus stop & sat down, crossing my legs like a lady. After a brief rest I got up & decided to walk by the super market to let all of the shoppers see the real me, I was kind of hoping that someone who knew me would see me & recognize me, I wanted everyone to know that I wanted to be a woman. I wanted to be caught so bad that I decided to walk home & go into the house thru the front door, this would give me a chance to be seen by all of our neighbors dressed as the woman I longed to be. As I turned onto the street I lived on, I saw two girls walking towards me, I knew both of them, they lived four doors down from us, I continued walking & I smiled at them as we passed each other, they didn’t recognize me & that made me feel like a real woman, I never wanted to go back to being a guy again, I just wanted to live as Joanne for the rest of my life. As I entered our house I looked in the mirror, I touched up my makeup then, while looking at myself I thought, how will I ever explain to my mother my pierced ears, plucked eyebrows, hairless body & polished fingers & toe nails, that was when I decided to just let her & my sister see me as the woman I want to be. To make sure I wouldn’t change my mind, I went to my mother’s room & got out all of her long lasting, water proof makeup & put it on myself, I then got all of the makeup remover & nail polish remover & poured them all into the toilet & flushed them, there was no changing my mind now. I went down stairs & sat on the sofa & gave my finger nails two more coats of bright red nail polish, when my nails were dry I then gave them three coats of wet shine top coat. I loved the way my nails shined when light hit them, I sat on the sofa with my legs crossed, my purse sitting next to me & my hands folded in my lap waiting for my mother & my sister to get home.
