The official timeline is between six months and three years. Age, genetics, etc... are all factors. I've also heard, anecdotally, from other girls here that they've seen development over five years or longer.

 

As an example, I'm at around two years and the girls are still developing. I was a late bloomer for puberty v1, so I imagine they'll keep going for a while yet. Slow and steady.

 

Hugs!

As an 11 year veteran of HRT, parts of mine have taken the whole time and have gone through sensitivity stages that were a bit of a problem in the short run. (Ticklish at one point, and erotic overstimulation at another)  At 3 years, just before my GCS I was a B cup and pretty perky near the nipple.  Six months after GCS I had a growth spurt, but it put the tissue under my armpits and widened the growth around the nipple.  I have a couple of girlfriends who had had implants at 2 years before GCS in two cases and an orchiectomy in a third and all three had growth spurts post surgery, and it was bye bye implants due to health reasons.  Inches are only part of the program.

Hei Andrea,

I am 30 months inn and depending on the band size I am a large A or a small B. I heard it said that us older girls can expect slow growth for up to 10 years before topping out. I am quite happy with what I have.

I'm 7 1/2 months. My growth has been slow, but steady. No real spurts. Almost a B cup now. So far pleasantly surprised with my results. My endo just increased my dose of E, so we'll see if that has any effect.

LUCKY girl - I've been told to expect 1 cup size smaller than my mom's and she was hardly an A so I hope I don't get a negative size.

I think it was close to a year before I was satisfied it wasn’t just wishful thinking.   But I’m kinda old, and my E dose is pretty low.   Kinda funny but I never thought to keep measurements for reference.   Probably 9 or 10 months (On E) I realized I needed to be carful not to bump into things, and hugs could get interesting.   I started HRT almost 2 years ago, but have only been on E for about 15 months.   I’m not on T blocker because spiro nearly killed me.  Doctor said it isn’t necessary (?).  I have A cup bra, and it has finally filled.

 I thing the big thing for me just feeling the girls actually being there after all those years.  They just feel right.

Perfect attitude. Sort of like a friend of mine has this attitude when asked what is the best age to be - he says - whatever age you are now.

I actually just posted a comment in the Good Morning all Topic, Ive noticed more growth at my year mark.

At 9 months, I'm seeing both a faster rate of growth and a lot of sensitivity (last month, it slightly hurt to roll on my tummy in bed; this month, I completely avoid even trying).  Also, in the "it happens to a lot of folks" department, for the last month one breast has continued on with development (with a very sensitive bud) while the other seems to be taking a bit of vacation from development.  Not too concerned; I've learned to stay cool and enjoy the journey.

 

I have my 6-month follow-up with my gender clinic doctor soon, and it'll be a great chance to ask her my stored-up questions.

Yeah this.   They seem to act as individuals.   But this is true for chic girls as well.

Mine started at about about 6 weeks on HRT. Right around 4 months I had to go bra shopping. Not that the girls really needed any support but I was find them poking through my shirts and bumpy roads a little painful. Also my band size appears to have gone down.

i've been on HRT  11 months and my breast started growing in my 4th month. They were mostly just big nipples that throbbed sensitive  now i have more breast tissue i can not hide them people see them now lol. I've heard your breast continue to grow for up to 5 years im so happy about that because i don't want surgery breast i want natural growth from my body.

I’m 4 months in and right around the 3 month mark they really started growing I’m just about to the point that I have to wear a bra. I’m happy that it’s almost at a have to stage instead of the want to.

I was on hormones for about 8 months. I quit for 3months. I'm an a cup, and my left puppy is bigger. I've  been massaging the right 1trying to get it to catch up. Been back on hormones for a week now. Feeling happy.

I’m a bit late here so I don’t know if anyone is still posting.

 

I think I have an unusual pattern of growth. Maybe some one would like to jump in.

 

I started HRT last year.  Blockers for several months then progesterone 11 months ago.  So after 10 months of that combination nothing was happening except a lot of wishful thinking.  Then suddenly I started having some pain on my left but know.measurable change.  I finally got on E or more precisely DEP.  two weeks ago.  Virtually immediately things began to change. Pain started in the right side.  Now looking in the mirror I swear the shape is changing but still no size difference.  
 

im sure most would question that less Han two weeks from nothing to changes but it’s true.  The only thing I can figure is the the pump was primed and just needed a little help to get moving.

 

Thought?

That's not all that uncommon. Shape changed first for me too. In us older women, it takes time for everything to come in. I was about... oh, a year in before I got to see some changes I could actually measure. There's been better growth since the GCS too. Even with all that, development comes in bursts. I'll get super sore, then it throttles back for a couple weeks, then there's another spurt. Keep in mind that it takes five to ten years for the HRT to be done changing your body. It's not going to happen overnight and it takes longer than it would have back when we were teenagers.

Thanks @Jackie C. good to know.  We all learn a little bit about our road less traveled from each other.

I want to say thank everyone as well for letting me know what to expect. I had prostate cancer with radiation early this year. I asked for estrogen, but urologist says not yet. I can't wait to find out what estrogen does. I never realized how much I don't like testosterone until it was gone.

 

Hugs,

Mike

I was on progesterone for probably 6 months before I could get E.   I didn't notice much until the E kicked in either.

I'm like that too.  I like the idea of "that's all me" there.

I'm not trying to impress anyone.

I am out to all my doctors and have been starting with my primary care within days of my therapist working it out with me.  I go to two medical associations it’s right there for any doctors that are part of the association to see.  The second is also a big association were I go for my endocrinologist, psychologist and psychiatrist.  It also has my status AND my preferred name.  I have a new PC whom I’ve only seen once but he also only calls me by my preferred name, and he’s never seen me as anything but male.

 

Doctors are great, be open with them they are our allies!

Willow, I've always believed there are two entities you should never keep in the dark about your thoughts and actions. They are your Doctors and Lawyers, thank goodness for HIPAA and Lawyer Client Protections. Everyone else is on a need to know basis.

I'll add that it can make a real difference which doctor you choose.  I "fired" my old (male) PCP, who was clueless about gender non-conformance, and was so fortunate to find a (female) PCP -- at the same practice, no less -- who had interned at the gender clinic I go to as part of her rotations, and is wonderfully supportive and helpful.  It's been like night and day for me!

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
