Oral prog is metabolized into non-prog hormones and you get less prog overall that way. Rectal and especially transdermal (through the skin) is way more effective.

If there are effects you miss or that you felt made a big diff it was likely the other hormones the prog turns into when you metabolize it. I’ve heard a lot about those effects, it’s very intriguing. It’s very pleasant for some, but can be bad for others.

Sarah Andersens stuff is so precious. I love it

I have no idea how to interpret this

we meant like orchiectomy, as many of us don’t want ours at all!

How many do you want. Should we form an orderly line for ball donation

Oh, I didn’t think you meant me! I was just saying! The image I shared was also non-sexual, it was a progress timeline.

Everyone gets different breasts, but yeah dysphoria sucks :(

Want a hug?

I have shared photos of my traffic cone bazongas in private chats, but no way am I sharing them publicly :P

But yeah it would for sure help if more of us did. How long have you been on hrt btw? I’m one and a half years in now and the base of the breasts has started getting a bit rounder. Also started prog a bit after this happened.

So the things that make them rounder is time, fat, genes, and possibly progesterone. It’s relatively common for transfems to get rather conical breasts, but I don’t think there is much agreement on what causes it. There’s a belief that prog helps with filling breasts out since it matures the milk ducts and glands.

Big perfect round breats are not the norm, but I’m sure those with those kinda breasts are more willing to share photos than other transfems.

Current lore is wait 6-18 months (usually 12), or when you reach like tanner stage 3. There’s also a lot of anecdotal evidence that starting prog whenever is perfectly fine and doesn’t halt breast growth at all. Research exploring this is very much lacking per what I know.

Presentation and gender identity does not need to match up! And some people struggle to present in certain ways. The safest bet is always to respect what you are told
