Yes, I know, growth, duh. What's weird tho is that my E levels are kinda absurd right now (waay too high to be healthy). I've been told that can stunt growth. And I know pain doesn't necessarily equal growth. However...I think they're still growing?

Even weirder, every time my boobs hurt, it's just my left one. It seems to be a bit ahead, in terms of development, but any chest pain I get is on my left side. I don't honestly ever remember my right being sore.

Is this...okay? Should I be worried? Should they even be growing when I'm brutally overdosing myself on E? Could prolactin, which I have a lot of, be related to it?
Please help, I'm a bit worried 😭

It's far from as simple as them saying "I'll prescribe the minimum dose proven to affect suicide rates among trans people.". A lower value also is better for mentally unstable people (like it was for me). Yes I also feel better when I double my Ritalin dosage but you also shouldn't do that of less works fine too.

One approach says, "trans identities are valid and I want to help facilitate them as best I can." The other is, "trans women are at their core delusional males.

That's complete bullshit except if your doctor is ass. If anything, they won't give more E than 200 because they don't want to be a possible liability since it's understudied. But guess what, you can also just take more yourself if you don't think your doctor is right.
