Aww thank you. I wish other parts of my transition went as smoothly as body changes. Social life and dealing with bureaucracy are the top issues, along with healing myself. I lack confidence and my body image is messed up. I don't like it, but I truly need input from others because on my own, I can't understand how I really look like.
A little early morning update about lactation and nipple development. My supply is climbing very obviously. This morning I noticed the weight of my breasts on my chest while lying on my back, usually I feel nothing at all as they're so wide but now its becoming noticeable. Brand new development. Also they project more, I poke into things and its PAINFUL! My nipples are extremely sensitive from all the pumping and right side, unfortunately did take some actual damage.
There were two spots with broken skin and I had to clean up a whole lot of dead skin and knowing myself, I must get all that out, then clean everything and keep adding lotion and likely medicine cream to keep any bacteria in check because any time I have wounds, they are very prone on gathering pus and that's not fun at all. I'm not sure why I have this trait, wounds heal extremely fast and extremely well, but they also get infected and start to make pus easy, so the way I deal with it is to keep them clean, this means getting dead skin off so it can't keep ton of bacteria below to wreak havoc on me. I wish I had some really good goctor to explain why and how I, at the same time be fast and efficient on healing, but get infected super easy too? I know I have at least one of the bacteria that we all have living on our skin which is very active and aggressive on me, easily attacks tiny wounds and causes trouble, but then my immune system attacks it so quickly, it can't really make much of a problem. I kinda feel there's something similar going on about wounds healing super fast but infecting easily.
So, nasty job, peeling dead skin off, disinfecting, then medicine cream and then first pumping session. I did it on less power than usual as I'm really super sensitive today. I had to empty both cups, left side is becoming more active, still tailing my right. And obviously nipples got soft and then I had to peel even more dead skin off of the right, once again clean it up and add some cream on it. The one I have is actually meant for this so its really awesome, kind of multipurpose stuff, also for intimate areas and label mentions nipple injuries too. Good thing about this is that the advice was sound, there's no new blisters forming, only pink brand new skin which is sensitive but almost magically able to withstand the pump, so I will keep on going. I can already see its getting better so this is very likely a case of just building a tolerance like it was said.
Now taking a break, charging pump and then into second session once I'm done with breakfast.
