The nipple tenderness for me sort of went away after more than a year of growth. They aren't tender like they were when I was first growing. My nipples also didn't enlarge anywhere near as much as some folks's did. I am happy with that. I prefer smaller nipples on women too. Anyway, the firmness behind the nipple also became less firm as time went on, probably a similar timeframe although I really didn't track that. Today I would describe them as more sensitive than they used to be but not tender as such. If you are trying for large nipples then maybe you should look into some of the suggestions in forum history for folks who sought that end. If not, I wouldn't get too concerned. someone with actual medical training can likely be more descriptive and accurate about what is going on inside the breast, but my thought is that the softening behind the nipple is a result of the mass of flesh expanding and spreading, gaining a fat component, that sort of thing. Could you imagine if women's breasts stayed as hard as the lump as they got larger? I think it is a sign that your growth is moving to the next stage past budding. You're out of the gate and onto the track. Pace yourself or you will not be happy with your finish. I have to say that I am coming up on my 3 year anniversary of starting in a few months and mine are still changing shape and becoming rounder along the side and bottom. My projection is still increasing although the change is very slow and my overall size isn't really changing. I fit my bras better than I did despite the measuring tape saying I have no change. I did increase from the 500mg/day I was on for quite a while to 2g/day a few weeks ago. I'm not sure why. Sometimes my brain doesn't consult me before ordering changes. Spring must be in the air.
