Need others opinion on Breast Growth.. what would you do!

[Eva Marie]

I have the usual A cups 18 months into HRT. The tape measure hasn't moved much in the last 6 months, but they sure are sore most of the time. What I have noticed is a filling out and shaping - the traffic cones are gone and they look like something a teenage girl would sport. The filling out only began when I started taking progesterone.

My mom was small too so I can't say that i'm surprised at what I got. As long as I have soreness i'm going to wait. You might consider doing this too if you are still sore - the last thing you want to happen is to have a growth spurt after getting the implants and then have them looking strange or being too large.

The filling out only began when I started taking progesterone.

There are two different forms of progesterone, bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestins.
The side effects are different.

Thank you ladies.
I am leaning toward waiting it out!
I am sore. I think I am being to impulsive.
Thanks so much to all of you for the responses.
My body will have a lot of healing to do from the butt thing!
Luv ya

You might look into the two cited natural methods.
Without making promises, there was a vid on youtube from a trans women concerning breast massage, she stated it helped.
There are other descriptions, citing circular movements.
And some people tend to exaggerate, so as said... all at your own risk, keep it gentle... gentle application and a gentle experience...

the hint with a few minutes of breast massage is centuries old. People then sometimes knew a few things people now start to realize the scientific reason for it.

Ummm a lot older, but been on HRT for 12 years ~ I reached B cup... well a B cup bra fits best  I got there around the 3.5 year mark, they have just rounded out gradually over the rest...

Now here's the thing now I find I am wanting more, but down the list...

Given where you are at I would probably go for it now, any more hormonal growth IMHO would just fill and round 'em out.

For me, I'm going to wait and see. I've easily got A cups and hope for more. My recommendation is to wait and see what happens. However, your happiness is the most important so trust your gut and go with that.

I just decided to measure my cup size and I am a D.. my band below breasts and my around breast measures 6 inches different..
I know my band size will be smaller after the body shaping surgery..and if I have any more growth I think I should look fine..
I measured my ex.. she has a 6 inch difference too.. but thinks she is a C cup..
Her chest in comparison to mine is larger looking.. on a smaller frame.. She is tiny at 5-2 and I am 5-6 but bigger around and wider.
No way am I really a D.. I think I look B to C at best although my breasts do have a lot of volume compared to hers.
So no I have really confused myself..
My Doc is giving me a super amazing price if I do with other surgery.. so tempting.. but I just don't know..??
Sure would be nice to have the body shaped and the boobs at the same time...
Ugh decisions..

Our rib cages are wider and that might explain the difference between how you and you ex look. We typically need a larger breast size to look proportionate.

My goal was proportion with my chest.  I paid no attention to cup sizes, but rather how each different size of silicone implant evened out my proportion to look natural.  If your current look is proportional, then you may not want/need BA.  My chest wall, as Eva Marie mentioned, was wider than what my naturals were covering, so I got the BA.  Even my 73 yo dad said, out of the blue one day, "Are those going to get any bigger?  Because they look good now...they look proportional."  And he wouldn't have a clue about anything like that --he is about as trans naive as one can get.  I kind of took that as a blind test success.

And, I am a sucker for a good deal....not sure how I would pass up a chance to get them at a lower price.
No pressure!

Ainsley,
I need them.  I continue to ponder...
Knowing me I will just say do it...

A cups at 15 months, A cups at 31 months. So I'm having BA done in Bangkok with my GCS in July. At my age, I've waited enough.

[Dodie]

I had my eye brows waxed again today
The girl that did them and I talked about BA
Surprisingly she is built like me.
She had it done and she showed me.
Said best thing she did and they do look so good.
She is CIS and said do it u will look good.
I said it might help me pass and she was like u don't need them for that but u want them
Thought it was nice of her to say that!
She got a tip!

Hi,

If the doctor says recovery of the butt won't be problematic while the boobies are recovering, do what you can afford and what makes you happy.

I'm going with Dr Z for hair and BA in July, SRS with Bowers in Oct. and body shaping Dec with Dr Z.  I did separate out BA and shaping...

Hugs
