Thank you for your very informative reply!

I also think Lara is the best coach for pumping...I just wish I had paid more attention to her progress and advice before since Ive known her for 3 years and she has been saying the same thing all along...plus she has had incredible success which should have been enough..I have never claimed to be smart.

Anyway...Ive been trying all sorts of things to balance my "primal wound" which happens to kids when their mothers are taken away at birth. It never changes....but it has led me to growing breasts which I have wanted to do since I can remember...very young. And after 2 years of PM and 3 on estrogen...I was right. I am much happier and more accepting. But...I am very tired of the side effects and I am hoping to replace HRT completely with pumping and fenugrek. Its worth a try. For me this has nothing to do with gender...at least I dont think so...that is why it is the "primal wound", it comes  before everything. I am also naturally feminine but not effeminant if you know what I mean...so it is hard to say how much estrogen has changed my persona...a lot...or not at all...I cant decide.

I am trying to pump 4 times a day as that is what Lara suggested...a couple times is easy  but I get sore. 

This is only the beginning of my second week and I am already fuller and rounder (I will put photos up on my thread eventually). 

So here are my questions:

-when does the swelling become permanent?

-do you pump your nipples or do they grow with the breasts?

-what do you moisturize with?

-how do you deal with the bouncing?

-have people noticed?

Best
