Hello All:

 

So i have just noticed today April 22 that I am starting to see some sort of breast development.  I have just enough to fill like a training bra.  I just noticed it when I was standing sideways in my full length mirror.

 

Oh my, speaking of mirrors, I can see why mirrors are a girls best friend and they can be a girls worst enemy.  My closet mirrors are nice but also I don't like them at times.

 

Thank You

 

Amy

Awesome.  What you end up with hard to predict.  I don't carry much body fat so what I have is tissue with little added fat cushion.   As time moves on growth with occur then rest.  Don't be alarmed.   Remember puberty is a multi year event!

It just gets better. At about 4 months or so I found it more comfortable to wear a sports bra than to go without, and now can wear a push up bra. This really helps especially if there are mirrors around.

Hello All:

 

Thank you very much.  I have noticed that I am wearing my sports bra a lot more often and when I tried to go without, it was uncomfortable and since it is very sensitive, I had to put my sports bra back on.

 

Thank You

Hello All:

 

Wanted to give an update that my breast are starting to show something but not a whole lot.  If I stand sideways, I can see something forming.  I have also been feeling more sensitivity and hurting alot more.  There has been a quite a few times where I almost cried with the hurt right now.

 

So it looks like the hormones are doing something and something is starting on my chest.  I have been on the hormone patches for 4 months now.

 

Thank You All:

That's awesome! I've been on HRT (Est/Spiro/Fin) since Sept 2016 and have seen lovely results. I heard that you see the most results within the first two years... not sure if that's true or not. I'm glad I went full-time when I did, because it would be impossible to hide mine now.

Hey All:

 

I just have to share that today I noticed when standing sideways in the mirror that I can see some development.  I hope that this does not get flagged, but I have to show a picture of me.

 

Thank You

Looking good, sister! Mine are growing too, but with a sightly padded bra they look good. The bra helps in presenting, but is mostly to protect the girls from the outside world; doors, my own arms, the 3 year old twin grandsons, etc.

 

Hugs,

Brandi

Looks good Amy!  At this stage of development you will certainly need to protect them.

Inadvertently bumping into closet doors or even leaning on them can be alarming to say the least!

Hello Jani:

 

Thank you very much.  I do know about needing to protect them.  Because I have notice that I have needed to wear my sports bra all the time,  My sports bra is oh so comfortable and is protecting them.

 

I love my sports bra.

 

Thank You

Hello All:

 

So I just so happen to look in the mirror when I got out of the shower and noticed some actual breast growth.  I noticed that I have an A cup and they still hurt and tender.  I am just letting the hormones do there thing

 

Lots of Love

Final breast size is imossible to predict. Looking at cis female relatives doesn't mean too much either. 

I was thin as a stick before transition and my entire family had A-cups. Some AA. Doctors were convinced I would end up being in that range too, since I'm trans above the bad family genetics for breast growth. 

Fast forward going on 3 years HRT : I have reached tanner stage V and have 34C-cups. The puppies are still growing strong. 

Pamela Andersen has some competition I guess ?

      Did you ask her if there was anything particular you need to learn from the BIble?  Any particular book you should read? Result she wants you to have? Did you ask her if she is reading her Bible, and what she is getting out of it lately?  What is the Lord speaking to her?   It shouldn't be a one way thing.

      Comparison can be deadly.  If the 23 year old beauty queen is the standard for women, all others are not real women.  If Jocko Willink is the standard for men, all other men are not real men.   I read an essay about the mermaid and transgender people. There is a statue of a mermaid in a Danish harbor.  She looks wistfully back at the sea, where she cannot go because she is human above, but neither can she walk on the land, because of her lower half.  Psychologists have noted a fascination with mermaids by trans kids.  TG folk, using the mermaid analogy,  can feel like we can neither mountain climb nor explore the depths because of our condition, but there is plenty we CAN do.  As humans we can both climb mountains and explore the depths.   Not all women give birth. Not all men become fathers.  Not all men can pull cable wire all day long, walk iron safely, or heft 600 pounds in a dead lift.  That does not mean they are not men.

      Sally, thank you for deciding to post your life experiences. They have certainly struck some chords with me, and have caused me to look again at my life and where I am going.  I will not take up your thread with my thoughts, but suffice to say that I was commissioned into the military (RAF) as an aviator in 1963. Fortunately my cross-gender feelings were mild and easily suppressed. It is only in later life that they have come to the fore.   I look forward to reading more.   Karen

      I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode.

      I wish I had an answer to this.

      By Mia Marie · Posted

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.
