Breast development

[Joanne Grace]

Hi all, I've been on hrt for about5 months now, I'm not sure if I'm starting to develop or not? The top pic is with an a cup bra, the next 3 are without a bra an the next is with the bra and breast inserts.  The bottom 2 are of me taken on holiday about 6 years ago before I even thought about taking hrt? I've always had a bit of a man boob going on although covered with hair lol. So I don't know if im starting to develop or not? I must say that my nipples hurt a bit and at the moment feel a bit itchy and feel a bit harder underneath them. Is this normal and has anybody had the same experience? Ps. Sorry if any of these pictures offended anyone,  I just wanted to compare now and then, thanks, hugs and kisses 🥰

I was on a low dose of E fro a good while, and was kinda disappointed with boobage.    We did eventually increase the dose.  At this time the dose is actually a little on the high side from what I've seen online.  

The girls are not all that impressive, but they are there.

At this time I use a B cup bra when I wear one.

Your age also has a lot to do with things.  I'm in my mid 70's.

I've been on E (low dose at first) for 5-6 years now.

I think it has gone quite slow for me, and I was a bit disappointed for a time.

 

I saw this youtube recently.  You might be interested.

There are no guarantees when it comes to breast development. 

 

I have been on a low-to-moderate dose for seven years.  Most of my development occurred in the first year, though they did continue to grow slo-o-owly for a while after that.  The lingerie store measured me as a 38A, but only because there is no such thing as a 38AA!  In fact, since none of the 38A bras in the store would fit me, I wear a 36B. 

 

At this point, I am probably up to an honest 38A.  I would have preferred a B, but I'll take what I can get.  They are cute.  In fact, given the widespread public impression that all trans women have massive hooters, having little breasts is good camouflage.

LOL.   I hadn't thought of that.

They're small, but quite real.  And huge boobs are not necessarily such a good thing.  They can be a real pain in the… back.

I find when using a 40A cup bra, I need to put the forms in which gives me a nice shape, although if I put a 38B cup bra on what breasts I have fill it out better but I don't get my desired size/shape?

After 1.5 years on estradiol and 6 mo on progesterone I am a full shaped A-cup (getting fairly close to B-cup I believe). 

I am happy with what I have.  I don't plan on breast implants and just use fashion and the 'laws of physics' to accentuate what I do have.  But it is truly personal preference and to-each-her-own.

I think that breast growth is influenced by a person's unique body type. For me, being quite slim and flat-chested meant that my breasts developed into what we affectionately call "little lemons" in my country. After five years, I decided to have breast augmentation surgery, which brought me to a C cup, and they haven't changed since then, even though I've been on a regular estradiol regimen for 24 years.

I totally agree Kay.

I'm interested in your experience with progesterone. What have you noticed?

 

I was a 36B without estrogen, with my right cup not quite filled. Now I'm a solid 34C, loss of muscle mass and increased cup volume, but next to no cleavage after nearly a year on E2. I really do want larger breasts, but mostly want them to round out and get some obvious cleavage. With a typical tshirt bra I have a feminine figure, I think.

I started out with 42C and grew to a 42D so far. Yes it's normal. They look more grown. It is amazing to see mine grow and they aren't done yet. I have been on HRT for 16 months.

Good for you.

I'm jealous.  I've been on HRT about 5yrs now, and am doing good to fill a B cup brassiere.  But I was on a low dose in the beginning.
