A member asked:

How much time is required for hormones to really start working. will my breast really hurt when they start to grow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't understand: Your question. What hormones are you referring to that you expect to work in the future and enlarge your breasts? If you mean that you're pregnant, breast tenderness (if it occurs) usually begins at 4-6. Discomfort level varies significantly from one woman to the next, otherwise, you'll need to restate your question.
