Clothes fitting different

[Nora Kayte]

I don't know. I guess I should have measured and taken pictures of my before self. But it's to late for that. Today I weigh 218. I fluctuate between 215 and 225. I was at about 210 when I started hrt. Shot right up to 230 when I started hrt and pretty much leveled off at 225. But now it fluctuates like I said above. I do have a little bit of a belly. But always have. The thing I am not getting is that I don't look like I am any different in the hip area. What I am getting at is before hrt I wore a size 34 shorts in men's and as low as a size 8 in women's depending on the manufacturer. When I started hrt I shot almost directly to size 38 in men's short or size 18 in women's. Now one of the pairs of shorts I just bought and did fit well is not fitting and I almost popped a button. I need to sew it on better. Actually all my new shorts are fitting tighter.

Ok let me clean this up a little.

I weigh 218 which is lower than when I started HRT.

Breasts are at about a small B cup

I DO NOT have what looks like female curves. 

And my bottoms are not fitting. Size keeps going up.

So weight going down and bottom getting bigger. Breasts growing to.

Perfectly expectable given your time on HRT even considering you lost some weight lately.

You're just 9 months in. While you're not seeing an obvious feminine hourglass figure, changes are happening (probably more fat stored in your buttocks) and you can see them reflected on your current clothing size.

How would HRT give you hips/curves? It doesn't change your bones. Your pelvis won't get wider. You need to start before puberty for that.

But it does redistribute fat. So it may end up on your thighs, butt, etc. but if you are heavy all over you won't see that.

I haven't started it yet, but I'm trying to get as thin as possible before I do. I'll be 60 soon, and I'm 5'5", so I don't want to be middle aged and heavy! I think I'm about 140 right now. Want to go down 10 more pounds.

Ya my wife has been saying for a couple of months than I have a butt now. A cute one at that lol. I just don't see it. Except in the breasts. I see that growth. I mean I can't go without at least wearing a camisole under my shirt. Just that extra layer helps hide them when they need to be. But I am at or past the point where I should be wearing a bra everyday. It's just a bra make them bigger and un hideable. And I am not socially transitioning ATM so breast showing not that good but I can deal because they lessen the dysphoria.

Sounds like you are on track to me. After nine months my breasts are "C" size. My therapist Emily says I have a nice rack. She cracked me up. My butt has had redeposited fat that luckily given me a nice butt at this time. However. I will be requiring women's jeans soon. My waist has gone from 40 to 37. I am currently at 220 lbs and would like to get to 180. I am 6'3" however so anything below 180 looks sickly.

Other than breasts i have seen inches added to my butt and my hips, while my waist is slightly down. So yeah that has changed how things fit. I fill out jeans better etc. Event though our bones generally don't change the fat distribution changes can make a significant difference.
