No breast development

[galaxy]

I would ask who of you had no breast development?!
I often read here about A, B and C-cups ... thats really frustating to me. 
Who of you got no boobs like me? How do you handle the long, long time until you have a surgery?

Hugs Galaxy

Nobody with these problems???

I'm only on low dose E and they have a mind of their own and are growing rampantly.

So no not me.

Unfortunately it is quite random. Remember cis girls take years to 'blossom'

When I tried to transition the first time I had very little (pretty much no) development and that was after two years on HRT.

It has fortunately been a different story this time - I can't say why. I'm over twenty years older so you'd think the opposite would be true. I am on different HRT - medication and delivery. I was actually on four different drugs the first time, this time only three so I presume I'm on a lower dose than before. Really couldn't say why.

I think I caught a pic of you on one of the photo threads, yes? From what I remember you seemed to be very pretty - so I can't see you having trouble passing. I can understand though why you'd feel upset about the lack of breast development- that's exactly how I felt at the time.

Many cis women are likewise not blessed in the boob department and are quite devastated by it - hopefully though you will be, you just need to give it time.

I'm 18 month now on hormones and have 8cm. 10cm would be AA cup. In other words: I still need 2cm to have the first bra-cup!!!

I dont wait for a further development, that would be stupid i think. My question goes in another direction: How can i handle it in my mind everyday? Ive a huge problem to look in the mirror. My little breast looks like muscles like bodybuilders have - thats very, very masculine in combination with my chest and my strong arms. I think a man would be very happy to look like these. That makes so unhappy all the day

A bit over 3 years on hormones here and you've had more development than I've had..

How do I cope? Kinda simple really. They may not be much, but they are mine. I've waited a long time for them. Sure, I'm not overjoyed at their size, but I could still be completely flat.

Galaxy,

Just think that you're like any other woman out there.  Overly conscious about her flaws but totally blind to her better attributes. Realise it's unhealthy but natural female thinking, rather than thinking of it as part of your dysphoria.

Give the upper body time - takes forever for anything to happen if you're talking about muscle atrophy.

[warlockmaker]

Its all genetics, my family varies from DD thru to A.  I had a B cup, up until 2 months ago.  I noticed my boobs shrunk but it was the disappearing pec muscles. Now its more A+ but really soft and no big pec muscle underneath. The fat build up is great for a BA if and when I decide.

I have yet to start my HRT, but I still would put implants on the back burner. You may get them only to find a sudden spurt in development later on that could make them too unproportionally large or cause issues with the implants. 18 months is not that long. I mean, I want my breasts now and no more hair, but especially where surgery is concerned patience is a must. I'm also no medical expert so I could be way off here too. But I've read many different accounts of when and how big us girls blossom so to speak.

I plan my augmentation this year - it depends on my insurance and if the pay the costs.
It can took another couple of month and for my mind it is every new day a bit harder to accept my body ... i think it will be a very hard time until surgery.

I am far from replacement for a therapist, but I personally would advise against augmentation until you spend more time on treatment, maybe see if they have you on too low of a dose or something. Your doctor would be better qualified there than me, just, don't rush into surgery. My opinion only and would not hold anything against you either way

EDIT: Not to mention, you're much farther along than I am. I'm calling for consultation for a therapist today so, my experience could differ

Ive a specialist for transgender and HRT. Me breast didnt grow a millimeter since over a year. We tried so much things and medications. Its the final size, believe me. Do you know anybody has over 12 month no growth and then after 2 years or so a massive development to A or B??? Come on, theres nobody.

My doctor was written a letter for the insurance and believes theres no further developement. Is really impossible. So, i went a few weeks ago to a clinic for augmentations. If my insurance gives the "go" i will have the surgery - hopefully next 2-3 month.

I grew zero breast tissue. How do I cope? Don't look in the mirror at all. Only look at yourself with a bra on. Bra will help it look more feminine.

Don't look at it, wear pushup bra, wear clothes that make features that you don't like less prominent, accentuate the things that you like and chin up, at least You have a prospect of breast augmentation... Others don't even have that or can't go under anesthesia

take care!

Ahh, in that case I say go for it. Was not aware you had a doctor recommendation. As for how to cope in the meantime, try what crowcrow223 said. Find clothing that accentuates what you have and pulls eyes away from what you may not like. Focus on your other features for now, find ways to bring eyes to what you already have and like about yourself. Legs, face, rear, etc.

*lol* bad idea, too 
Ive to wait ... i will survive it. Maybe someone has some good "mind advices". It doesnet matters what others see - it matters what i see AND feel! Thats the reason for my tears.

I had a promising growth at the beginning (could feel them blossoming by the 2nd month on HRT).... now after 6-7 months on HRT, my chest looks really flat! And this is after GCS... lol. I am as sad as you are, but I'm giving myself time given that I've only had a couple of months... I wish you all the best!! Just posting because I know how you feel <3 And take the previous poster's advice... wear gel push-ups!

[galaxy]

It has been 14 months and they are kinda small. Not really a full A cup, but I tend to look at the bright side.

Believe me - compared to my "breast" you are a really busty woman! 4-5cm more is a huge universe for me. I everytime dreamed if a nice A cup and nice, little, natural breast. I was full of hope so long time, month to month and let so much tears. Having absolutely no boobs is a very huge problem for me - even later with a augmentation. Its the only real "women-thing" that happens to a transgender through transition.

Sideways my belly is bigger than my breast. I dont like this view, makes me cry.
I'm at BMI 21,5 and NOT FAT - but my belly is bigger.

I had very little until Progesterone was added to my HRT. I know some disagree here, but it is helping the "girls" a lot. If you are not on it yet ask your Endo their opinion of it.
