So based on things I've heard on here, it sounds possible that I'm growing breasts, which would be fantastic, but I'm not on hormones?? And I'm a good bit past puberty age? Is there something else that might make my nipples itch and chest hurt?
Gynecomastia, your hormones can be out of balance all on their own. Which, in your case might be more balanced.
Chafing against shirts, eczema (its winter everyone's skin gets drier, if you have asthma you probably have some form of eczema too), and like yeah the big WebMD one that show sup for everything lol. No im not gonna say it cause its almost certainly because its dry and your nips have been chafing against your shirt
I do have eczema in places. Usually not on my chest, but it sometimes moves around, so that could make sense.
If growing breasts sounds fantastic, why no hormones yet?
Parents won't pay for them, disability prevents me from working more regularly, still working on getting disability benefits, uncertain if benefits will be enough, US trying to make laws preventing even adults from getting gender affirming care. Also fear of needles. Also, I think I've heard some of my mental illnesses (am quite neurospicy) make it harder to get on hormones, but I haven't tried too much yet. Who do I talk to about this? I currently see a therapist and a psych med provider, do I talk to one of them? I'm trying to go see a... "regular" doctor(?) so if I need to talk to them, I can.
So I got lucky, my work insurance covers it (lib city). I spoke to a doc who referred me to a therapist who referred me to an endo.
Iβve also heard planned parenthood is easy. Donβt know from experience
I had an appointment with PP online and did bloodwork at a labcorp. There's was pretty much no gatekeeping with my provider (basically just explained things, asked what my goals were which I answer was basically "idk", asked if I wanted monotherapy or an antiandrogen). I'm in Texas and my insurance hasn't had any problems with covering things.
Uh, I think it's unlikely. If your body produces mostly testosterone, you'd have to be having gynecomastia from an imbalance of estrogens/androgens in your body. Like, for example, a liver disease, kidney failure, thyroid disease or a metabolic dysfunction. Maybe get that checked out if it seems real enough, it could be something not good if it is really happening
Heh. Well, I already planned to call the doctor anyway, so maybe as well see what they say about this too.
