Worried bout my breasts :/

[Angélique LaCava]

Last 3 days they were sore n they were growing and now nothing is happening. No pain or soreness when I touch them. They r bout an AA cup n I'm feeling very discouraged tbh :/

[stephaniec]

so how long have you been on HRT?

[Mallory]

so how long have you been on HRT?

Like.. 7 days.

[Angélique LaCava]

Today makes a week. I just thought since they started growing then they should hav continued.im afraid that this is it for them since my mom is just a B cup n they said subtract a size.

[stephaniec]

I've been on for 2 years it's pretty cyclic .

[Mallory]

Stop fretting.  You're 1 week into a 2+ year journey.  Relax and buckle up.

I have been on HRT almost 2 years and there are weeks when my breasts are super, super sore, to the point that it is almost painful to hug someone, and then there are weeks when I feel no soreness at all. I don't think soreness or lack of it is indicative of growth or stoppage of growth. It seems to be pretty random, at least for me.

Same thing for me. It's a long process. Think about it. When cis girls go through puberty they don't grow for 7 days and stop forever. It takes years to get to your final result. I know it's difficult, but patience is key. Good luck with HRT though! It's a roller coaster.

Omg lol relax =) . I am not feeling breast growth for 3 week. They are just ultra sensible to the touch. You wont get DD breast in 1 week . It might take you a year to reach A or B cup

First of all, my breasts were only very rarely sore (except when poked right in the nipple) and I got perfectly fine development. Soreness is *one* symptom, but it doesn't correlate directly to how much/if they're growing.  Secondly, breasts go through phases of growth - sometimes they're changing daily, it seems like, and sometimes they're "preparing" and nothing seems to happen until you have a growth spurt literally overnight. Thirdly, the one cup size smaller thing is a myth that gets perpetuated because it sounds plausible and nobody understands how bras work anyway; just like cis girls, you'll get what your genes say you should get from puberty. (It may not look quite as impressive on a trans woman with a bigger frame than she would have had if she'd had a cis puberty, alas.)

And lastly, it's been a week. Don't panic yet. Cis girls spend 5-10 years growing breasts, and so will we.

Hi Angélique,

The "subtract a size" is the greatest urban myth of all time. Just think about it. If you're great grandmother was a C cup, you're mother would be an A and any future generations wouldn't have breasts. My mother is a B and I'm a D, and my daughter is a EE, god bless her.

Just make sure you have a good Endo, who knows how to look after them, and feed you with the right stuff.

Speak to you as soon as I have a cuppa with the girls.

This is my experience as well. Growth seems to come in spurts associated with soreness but it's not consistent.

I wouldn't worry about it. Mine didn't hurt yesterday hardly and now today I can't touch them without getting a shock.

Breast growth comes and goes...you're fortunate to have some activity just a week into HRT! Like everyone else is saying...relax and enjoy the ride!

And keep massaging the Girls...

[iKate]

A whole week? Oh, the humanity!!!

Actually, you're doing fine as some people don't see breast growth for months. Some are on HRT for years and get next to nothing.

Consider yourself lucky. And give it time!

This was me.  It was almost exactly 3 months before I had even the slightest tingle.  I'm now approaching two years on HRT and have just now gotten to a B cup.

I think it's been pretty well stated already but yes, it takes time and a *lot* of it before you've gotten everything you're going to get development-wise. 

Hugs, and relax.....  you're doing fine

[Jessirules]

I don't think I noticed my breasts being sensitive till about two months.

Yeah, I'd chill about this - your body has a way to go yet. Genetic women take two to three years to grow their breasts and HRT is no shortcut to that process. It is a sloooow biological process.

Don't know how accurate the "b" cup statement is, I went on Estrafem  , really low dosage on 1st Nov this year,that's 5 weeks and have a "b" cup already, (37" breastbone and 39 1/4 " around nipples = 2 1/4" of boobs) no soreness or anything, just filled up big time , my mother was a "c" cup and am seriously wondering where it's going to be after 2 yrs.

Cup size with the band size are the only way I know how to compare. A US36C is the same cup size as a US38B for example, while the band is tighter. The letters are meaningless to me without a band measurement, although I don't know a lot about the European and English measurements.
The subtracting "urban myth" thing is to look at the women in your family, average their measurements, and subtract a size. It's a general rule of thumb, not a hard and fast rule. Different proportions if you have a different frame will make a difference as well. Personally, I have about the same frame as my mom, with only slightly bigger shoulders, and we could comfortably wear each other's bras if we wanted.
