transHormone/birth-control question
Like a lot of MtF women, I'm annoyed that hormone therapy has left my breasts at a development stage common to young cissexed teenaged girls. In my case, there was still tenderness, and thus I presume growth, right up until I had to go off hormones for genital surgery. Now, nothing. I want to take it the its conclusion. I'm not concerned about breast size as much as I am about having breasts that look like those that belong to a cissexed adult.
I have an idea. Many cissexed women report breast development while on hormonal birth control - including (especially?) women whose breasts didn't develop much in the first place. Hormonal birth control works by biochemically simulating pregnancy, and their breast development is in keeping with this, often catching them up through any tanner stages they've missed - it often begins after six months, and runs for six months, like it would during pregnancy.
So I'm thinknig of taking birth control. Something high in progesterone, like Yasmin. For about a year.
Has anyone eles done this? Any advice?
