Hi Noah;
When I first transitioned I was in my late 20's then early 30s. My endocrinologist first put me in Stilboestrol, but soon moved me onto estradiol and then over time to Premarin. The GIC started me on really low dosages and in those days no T Blockers. I reckon it must have been 6 months with virtually no progress except skin changes, emotional changes and of course no erections. Then I was sent abroad. I had my letters from Dr Russel Reid and the GIC and presented them to my endocrinologist in Australia. She was shocked how little growth I had achieved after so long on E. She immediately put me onto Injections of Primogyn Depot weekly in the thigh. I had to go to my GP for them. After 1 month I was already seeing breast buds, then she doubled my dose on the injections and made the injections once a fortnight. I would then feel an euphoric hit about 2 hours safter the injection with a flood of estroggen in my system and from then onwards my breasts, hips and bottom all started to blossom with curves. My nipples became large and erect She also put me onto a 21 day cycle of Progesterone and after one month, my breasts start to lactate. She advised the use of a breast pump (both breasts) as that would increase lactation an in the process build the milk producing lobuli. It rreally worked although the amount of milk I produced was very small for the effort involved, although in fact quite pleasurable. Unfortunately when I got back to the UK, my my local endocrinologist put me back onto the Premarin although a much bigger dose, but she was worried about the Progesterone so I wouldnt give a Prescription for that.18 months later I was back in Australia and luckily my OZ endocrinologist put me back ontro the Injections which I continued until I decided to de-transition .
I was never on T Blockers, but all my blood tests always showed a low level of T anyway.
What I have now is A Cup - to small B- Cup breasts with large pink aureola and very erect nipples, a rounded bottom and a slight hips. My nipples are also very evident as they are very firm under a tight T-Shirt. Luckily I never these days have erections. But unfortunately when you stop the E you start putting weight back onto the Abdomen.
So the message - give it time
Hugs
