I had no idea how often I bump into things with my nips. Apparently my proprioception is lacking in the chest area.
That is all.

Yep, that was my experience too. As they became sensitive, I've hurt myself quite a few times.
Even more than that, somehow I feel like I'm a bit clumsier in general.

Changes in muscle mass, body fat, new weight added to your chest, and slight shifts in your center of gravity will do that.
The gender dysphoria bible has a bit where they say balance and coordination generally get better on HRT. Always bugged me because that seems to be the opposite experience for most people.

That makes sense
I tend to drop stuff more easily. Most likely because my grip is changing too.
But yeah being clumsy may not be the proper way to convey it.
Most likely the physical changes are faster than the change in muscle memory and the spatial perception of my silhouette.

I haven't noticed an increase in clumsiness, just dramatically increased sensitivity (but not in a good way yet).

It became better for me after ~2 months-3 months
Sensitive still, not as "painful" but let's say there are some "good feelings" there too now.

Well at least you know it's working :3
Be careful carrying large boxes!

It's more carrying the children that's problematic. Their winter clothes have a lot of zippers and things.

It is somewhat shocking just how there they are. Mine are maybe a B cup and only a cm or two farther forward than the before times and I brush them with my arm constantly. Picking up large appliances for work sucks because the straps I use go across both boobs and sqush the shit out of them šµāš«

padded bras ftw! they add volume and provide a little safety. :)

I'm not going to attempt to girl mode for a couple of years yet. I at least need to milk the male privilege to get a job š

Lol. My ADHD makes me bump into stuff all the time. I definitely notice more now when my chest hits something.
Also can't carry a bunch of stuff in my arms like I used to. Like, I used to always carry my full water cup, empty coffee cup, full cereal bowl, and full french press from my kitchen to my desk every morning. Which involved the water cup and french press hugged against my chest with one arm and coffee cup dangling from that hand, and cereal bowl in the other hand. Surprisingly rarely spilled, but it's a short walk. Now I make two trips, lol.

I hope to skip from being able to use my chest as a flat surface for carrying things to being able to use my bra as an extra handbag. I had a friend who did that. No matter what you ask her for she'd reach down her top to retrieve it.

Lol, yeah, mine aren't big enough for that. I had high hopes since my family is fairly well endowed, but between my wide chest and slow growth it hasn't happened after about a year and a half. But who knows.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 112d
Well they should continue to grow for about 3 years or so so plenty of time left.

Yess, this is currently the bane of my existence.
But I do like it, it reminds me Iām growing boobs.

Love when my cat steps directly on one and somehow puts about 3 tons of pressure on her paw
