questions about breasts

[Erin H]

So I have been on oestrogen for nearly 4 months now, and I have like literally zero breasts.

They are just 2 tiny tiny little lumps, you can only see them when you look at my chest from the side, their so small there not even moobs, I could walk around topless and no one would even bat an eyelid.

So i was wondering is the reason I have very little breast growth (the tiny amount which is there is only fat) because im very skinny, does that have anything to do with breast growth ?
My Doctor said it is also to do with genetics, my female relatives all have C cup and above and I have like nothing.  :/

Oh also random question but I was wondering what would happen if say I stopped taking oestrogen would the tiny fat deposits shrink ? Or just stay there ?

Thanks you

I'm told breasts grow at different rates for different people. Some get gazongas in the first few months, others have to wait for a couple-three years.

Be patient, grasshopper. You will get yours in due time.

I don't know of anyone in real life that grows humongous breasts in just a few months.

It takes a while for your system to even get used to being on female hormones and if your not on Spiro at the same time it could take longer.

Don't forget it takes genetic girls years to fully develope.

I have near permanently erect nipples after two months and some sensation of weight behind each 'breast'.

When I first started I wasn't sure what to expect and thought I'd just have little breast buds forever, but then I noticed that I'd get a bit more growth about every three months 

Now after a little over two years I have fairly good development and they seem to still be growing 

As mentioned, it takes time and everyone's results will vary    It truly is a 'luck of the draw' kinda thing

4 months is not nearly enough time for substantial breast growth. It took me nearly 2 years to grow a 32A. I'm not too sure that weight has anything to do with how big your breasts will be. My cousin is suuuuuuuper skinny with triple D's. Anywho, you're definitely going to have to give it way more time.

It took me 3 or 4 months before my nipples became tender and then the buds appeared.

Months?   Wow........ after 5 weeks I was really sore and had buds the size of half a golf ball under each nipple which made them really stand out.
Sadly, nearly 4 years later my breast growth is judged Tanner Stage 5 and completed....... and I am barely an A-cup.

I'm with VM on this one. I've been on female hormones since 1995 or 96 and just had buds for several years. Had an orchiectomy about ten years ago because I was tired of taking Spironolactone and anti-andogen. Several years later I witched to a different female hormone and got big growth. I just bought my sixth B-C cup soft bra. I'm 5' 7" and 170 pounds, a very fit but stocky type, I have a post-op trans girlfriend who is naturally a skinny type, she has smaller boobs although nice and perky and they didn't come overnight either, she looks good in her tops, she is built a lot like like you Salisha. Suffice it to say, you can't rush it!

Hey everyone

Thanks for the replies, I guess i should just wait and let nature take its course

Do you have breast buds? They are like a hard lump under each nipple and they are very sensitive to pressure and touch. If you are unsure if they are present then they are not there because when they ARE there you have no doubts. They #@~~$£# hurt.

If the buds are there then your breast growth has started. If not then the breast growth has not really got underway. It took me 3 or 4 months before my nipples became tender and then the buds appeared. Even when they appear you are facing another two or three years before growth is complete.

Patience....


Yes - they feel heavy and 'jiggly'. For me the buds appeared about a month after that.

Hey Beverley
I don't think i do have any hard lumps under nipple, just an increase in fat in the breast area, if i push on the nipple there is a really tiny sort of hard lump, smaller than a pea, hardly even noticeable and does not hurt.

Thanks again everyone

[Bexi]

I dont know if this applies to me or not, but i've been on Estradiol for 2 months and have definetly noticed growth in that department; I can also feel hard 'things' under the nipple that i've only just noticed!

I've always had an athletic, slim body so this is definetly new to me! I still occassionally play soccer so if they get any bigger i'll had to invest in a sports bar! Can't wait

4 months, really too soon! Are you on any t- blockers yet? It's too early to add any progesteron, usually prescribed after the 1 st year. It takes time hang in there. Im 4 years in on a leagal hrt and it's like a roller coaster ride. Finally seeing great resaults(38c). Along with a good diet and excercise you'll get there. Look at your mother and sibblings that will give you an ballpark idea of what to expect.

[V M]

Oh goodness, the days of being careful to not let anything brush up against them    When they do start to protrude more, be very careful opening doors

I doubt my UPS delivery driver has ever had someone yelp quite like that upon opening the door to accept a package

I'm now a 38C as well

too funny!!!!!

[Bexi]

Do they hurt if you squeeze firmly? If so then next month will be fun  for you.

Ouch!

The one on the right is definetly bigger and more tender, but the left one doesnt feel as developed or sensitive! Oooh im excited!

Guess i'll have to save up on spare socks to stuff down the left side of my bra 

[Joeyboo~ :3]

It's been 6 months and I'm almost close to being half an A cup.
If you have a really boney chest than hormones won't fill that in unfortunately v_v you have to gain weight for that to smooth out.
I'm trying to do that but gaining weight is very hard for me.

I was kitchen cabinet door challenged for awhile! [Whack] Ooh-Ouch! 

[MyKa]

Protein shakes and ensure works well too. You can eat all the crap food you want and gain bad weight but it's very hard to lose. I'm bulimic and the ensure replunishes nutrients my body needs

Yeah I have a really bony chest :/
Gaining weight is hard for me as well, every time I eat stuff I swear my body just burns it up instantly, oh well

It can take a while for breast growth to begin and though that is a important change for us, it is not the only one.Aren't you experiencing other changes due to HRT?
