Boob hurts?

2 days ago by Miisha ♀️ to c/mtf

Yes, I know, growth, duh. What's weird tho is that my E levels are kinda absurd right now (waay too high to be healthy). I've been told that can stunt growth. And I know pain doesn't necessarily equal growth. However...I think they're still growing?

Even weirder, every time my boobs hurt, it's just my left one. It seems to be a bit ahead, in terms of development, but any chest pain I get is on my left side. I don't honestly ever remember my right being sore.

Is this...okay? Should I be worried? Should they even be growing when I'm brutally overdosing myself on E? Could prolactin, which I have a lot of, be related to it?
Please help, I'm a bit worried 😭

I'm ashamed to admit it, but my trough is over 800 pg/ml. I honestly had no idea it was that high, this was not my aim. And so I'm lowering my dose ASAP

Pfft. You call that a high score? My high score is 3915 pg/mL at trough! 🤣🤣 🤣

Eh. People vastly exaggerate the dangers of high E levels. The human body can handle a lot more than hand-wringers pretend. E goes up to the 3000-9000 range for months during pregnancy. I always giggle when I hear new baby trans gals fretting over high E levels, stressing over levels in the 200-300 or even, god forbid, the 400 range. (Gasps!)

Now, when I had levels that high, it wasn't even accidental, it was purposeful! I just wanted to see what pregnancy-level E felt like. That 3915 was after a few months of 1 mL/week of 40 mg/mL EEn. 😅

Well, to be fair, that high score was in a period where I was deliberately taking high E levels. I was just curious what pregnancy-level E would feel like and what effects it would have.
