Ok in my case one sore nipple. But it is also the one that has an issue with relaxing... seems it can't. Likes to be up and pointy all the time. Now the area directly behind said nipple is tender and sore. The left nipple.. nothing.
I also seem to have more breast tissue in both my breasts, though the left one seems to have the most compared to the right one. No real change in measurements though (basically I am still at 37" bust though it now measures 37 1/4"), so the form and shape is basically what is changing. The 'fatty' tissue is expanding up and sideways though not much really outwards yet.
Yesterday I increased my dosage of Aldactone from 1 25mg pill a day, to 2 25mg pills a day (morning and evening now). In about 2-3 weeks depending on blood test results I will up that dosage to 3 a day followed by another blood test 2 weeks later and if those results are good... increasing my dosage to 100mg total a day. Basically therapeutic levels of Aldactone for transition.
The Aldactone has obviously started pulling my T levels down and is allowing the BO to start raising the E levels more effectively than it was before. I am at 3000mg of BO a day and wasn't showing any real changes until I started on the Aldactone. Once that started taking effect... the spread of fatty tissue in my breasts began to be noticeable.
I am still having incredible difficulty in finding a therapist who takes my insurance so other than the Aldactone no 'real' HRT meds yet. So I am still using the BO etc to work up the E levels in my body. Seems to be doing it's job now that those nasty chemical factories have some serious medical grade limitation to their production of T.
