No breast development

[Hikari]

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. 

While I am very happy with my development at 6 months, I did add P on month 5 and I do get some breast soreness a few hours after taking P everytime so I have to think it is doing something. Since the side effects of micronized P are really low, it seems worth a shot no matter what IMO.

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.

At the beginning of my transition I was as demanding, and as vulnerable as You are now... I genuinely had suicidal thoughts due to zero breast growth, massive bone structure and everything... I can help you saying... it will go away. These feelings will go away.

Your body will continue to be more feminine, your muscle mass should decrease, the harsh contours of muscles should soften, bodyhair won't be as prominent. You just have to be patient. What helped me was not looking in the mirror and staying covered, wearing the things that made me look good/fairly acceptable

Please, give yourself a time, give yourself some patience. Seek a therapist if depression persists

Good luck!

Which time range we are talking about?

P.S. I was taking P4 for more than 17 month since beginning my HRT. Then i stopped.

Just my two cents here, but BMI is not an accurate nor viable way to judge oneself. It has been said again and again that the scale is massively outdated and just doesn't accurately reflect upon each unique individual.

Again, just my two cents

Maybe two or three years. Make sure you combine HRT with healthy diet, exercise and taking a good care of yourself.

I'm at 19 month now - thats nearly two years. I live healthy and exercise two times (running, cacling) a week. I'm really care about my body!

[michelle666]

I've been on her for about a year and have a large b. I did play around with some natural stuff before hrt and got some growth. I recently started injections and the are really sore right now. I'm interested in seeing if it's going to make a difference in them.

[Jenna Marie]

My (not trans) wife actually had a period when she thought her breasts were fully developed... and one more growth spurt ~5 years later.  So yeah, it does happen.

And I'm another who thinks you're really pretty, and kind of too hard on yourself.

[stephaniec]

Just think of all the super runway models it all went to their face your not alone. Not saying anything wrong with not being a super model

[peky]

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

How tall are you? How much you weight? How old are you?

[AnneB]

oh, wait.. you went from 21.5 to 19 BMI??  Hon, it takes fat to make the twins grow..  well, not lots, but you have the body mass of runners, athletes.. they have very little fat on their frames and are as flat at you seem to think you are.  That explains a lot.. as funny as it sounds.. have a few cheeseburgers (you know what I mean) to stop the "lean machine" you are building yourself to be.

that BMI is incompatible with breast development ! You need to add some weight. !

As far as your protruding belly, how is your liver ?

[Kaelin]

I think she's saying she's 19 months into hormones, not 19 BMI.

[AnneB]

SOMEBODY GIVE THAT GIRL A CHEESEBURGER!!   

Really.. you need fat to build up breast tissue. Not kidding.

How tall are you? How much you weight? How old are you?

I'm 37 years old, 19 month hormones, BMI 21.5 (not 19!!!), 1.72m tall and 64,5kg.
I live healthy, eat healthy, sleep enough, i'm cycling and runnig two times a week

I gained my weight during the HRT by 5kg and it happend nothing. NO millimeter more breast, no more on the hips - nothing. It ALL went to the belly and now ive a fat belly like old men have. This doesnt work for me. My figur is a desaster, ive a really visible belly and absolutely no breast. Actually my belly is 2 times bigger than my breast. That is worst case! So i decide to lose my weight to reach my old values. I got no breast - theres no way to get more breast and so i can keep slim.

Galaxy,

What is the majority of the fat that is around your waist? There are two types of fat - sub-cutaneous and visceral.

For me, I had a lot of visceral fat underneath the sub-cutaneous fat. It was this fat that very quickly burned up when I started to diet. The sub-cutaneous is a lot harder to reduce for me, but it is slowly going as well.

[galaxy]

It is sub-cutaneous fat and placed over the muscle. Its really good to touch with the fingers. Even a few years ago as competitive sportsman a had this little fat region around my belly. Its placed directly around the belly button. Now i reduced my sporty activities to get a bit curvy and gain the weight but the only curve is my little belly. Its really frustrating.

Same here.

There are a lot of forums out there where cis women discuss a whole range of 'natural' strategies to promote breast growth - from massage, foods to eat/avoid. I checked them out when I was close to going on HRT - tried a specific massage technique for a while. Maybe it worked a little, hard to say. I guess I stopped because once I was on HRT the growth was noticeable so I didn't want to encourage them too much before I went full time...so yeah, maybe it did help.

[galaxy]

Sure? You think massage will bring me from 8cm up to a A cup? 
There is a "breast growth mp3" out there too!

[luna nyan]

Serious?

So long as it isn't anything like that "everything is awesome" song ...

What is it supposed to do? Play a sound at the right frequency to stimulate glandular development?  Hopeful!
