How long did you breasts grow for?

[SaintAlia]

So I'm sure people have asked this question before, but I couldn't find it, so...

How long after starting HRT did your boobs grow before they stopped. Like, how long until you "got what you were going to get?"

I've seen the famous pictograph for general timelines for different changes, and it seems to imply that breast growth doesn't even really start until 3-6 months, and supposedly goes for years. I started in the first couple months, adding to what gynecomastia had started, and by nearly 10 months, I have fairly significant growth, but I'm not tiny, and could use larger, fuller boobs to compliment my overall shape.

But I wanted more anecdotal personal accounts from girls as to how long your breasts grew for. I'm heading toward the one year mark, and I want to know if I should keep my hopes up for greater development, or if I should start to get used to settling. Thank you!

I'm at 16 months total HRT and 13 1/2 months on injections and mine are still growing....slower than I would like but still growing.  There will probably be periods where it feels like nothing is going on an you aren't getting any changes but you still are.  I'm 35 by the way.

Hi Alia,

  I am just a couple months ahead of you so I am in the same boat with you. From what I understand continued growth may slowly occur  for a long time yet with possible spurts. For the last several months I've notice mainly accumulation of fatty tissue in my breast but not much of a girth change. I am a 40A but have difficulty finding bras in that cup size. A "B cup" is still a bit big. So I am also hoping for my volume. I see my GP this morning and will be asking about adding progesterone to my hrt regimen.

  Hugs,

Thanks! I hope you don't mind me saying, at 13.5 months, your breasts look worlds better than mine at 10. Bravo!

Thanks, Laurie! I went on progesterone a few months ago too. According to repeated measurements, I'm supposedly a 40c, but something doesn't feel right about that number. *shrug* I dunno.

  I come up with the same measurements results 40C. But an A cup is what fits best.

Numbers. Pffft.

Get what fits and fie on the numbers. The tape says I should be 40C, but in most styles I fill a B better. I am somewhat pointy and wide-set.

[Janes Groove]

I am a 34C.  Mine grew for about 12 months and then stopped.

They will always be growing.  First out and then down.

Do you just mean gravity? Cus I'm sure you know that's not what I'm asking. :-p

Everyone is different and there are so many factors that affect it.  Age, genetics and type and method of hormone usage all have an effect.  Generally development will occur over the course of years with the length probably averaging 5-7 before everything stabilizes somewhat.  But even after that time the size can vary depending on if you gain or lose weight.  I have a cis gender roommate who is in her 40's and she has recently lost some weight and complains that her boobs have shrunk. 

I've been on HRT for 3 years.  I had BA after six months.  I was a 38A and post surgery (500 CC gummy bears) I was a small C.  I have continued to develop since the BA and I'm now a large C small D.  Mostly I'm seeing a filling in and widening of the breasts.  I think I will continue to change for at least another 2 years.  I'm very happy with how things have worked out for me.  I think with the amount of time you have on HRT you can count on things continuing to develop for you.

My sole purpose is being the comedy relief around here.

[Shellie Hart]

I am one of the freaks around here, as probably 80 to 90% of my changes (after 23 months) has been non-stop breast growth starting around 3 weeks. I am 36C now and recently I am having a ton of breast pain which means a significant growth spurt for me. I really don't need to grow any more, but I love these soft things too much to quit, I am afraid. Definitely YMMV. It's something to think about...

[JennyJupiter]

My story - I responded to hormones very fast and have been wondering the same thing. I got tender 3 weeks into HRT, had definite growth by a couple months, and I am very happy... but worried they'll stop too soon.  My current size is smaller than I'd want though it's actually not far off from my goal.  I'm at about 5 months and a solid 34B.  Way better than I had ever expected (I assumed I'd be lucky to get an A and would need implants).

I have a cis gender roommate who is in her 40's and she has recently lost some weight and complains that her boobs have shrunk.

My cis-F partner views this as a general block to weight loss. She loses a lot of breast size when she loses weight. She's seriously considered implants but is too nervous about losing feeling (it's rare but not worth the risk for her).

So while yes weight changes can change things, 5-7 years is too long a timeline I'd guess.  I've never seen that in the literature - be it WPATH guidelines or random histograms thrown around. Of course life changes and hormone changes can change those numbers, but in terms of "primary growth" I'd think a few years.

Also my insurance requires a year of HRT before looking at augmentation... for whatever that is worth.

Thank you for that....time and a good bra does wonders.

After 22 months HRT, I went and cut to the front of the line and had a BA. (695cc Cohesive Gel).  In the past year since I've had them, I am not sure if there has been additional growth.  All I know is that since my BA, my body confidence has gone through the roof.

Nice boobs will do wonders for a girl confidence cis or trans.  A nice rack is what every girl wants to have on her chest.

Breasts keep on growing girl! I've been on HRT since 2004 and post-op, since 2005 and there were times of growth and then loss and then growth again, just like in ciswomen. It's a never-ending thing!

I've seen the famous pictograph for general timelines for different changes, and it seems to imply that breast growth doesn't even really start until 3-6 months

Mine started within 2-3 weeks.

[Lucy Ross]

Most of the growth is supposed to happen in the first two years, and on average it takes a few months for things to get off the ground; a person may be an exception to these rules of course, just like the whole "one cup smaller than your female relatives" yardstick. 

I want to try injectables, some see better results from them:  Injections and Breast Growth.  More feminization of facial features too.  Maybe this is from the steady supply of E they deliver, instead of sharp peaks.  At 47 I've only made it to AA cup after 7 months, but I wasted a lot of time with insufficient dosages, I believe. 

Your age is a big factor in what results you have, as we grow older we lose HGH.

Every time I think mine are done growing, they start hurting and cone again...and I am over 2 years on uninterrupted HRT.  I am now a 38B/C, which has actually surprised me, but not my doctor.  Originally, I planned on having BA at 1 year, but I have now chosen to hold off until I hit year three.  My endo says that they should be done by then.

I have had many friends whose circumstances allowed them to medically transition ahead of me and almost all of them have given me a common piece of advice: Be patient and let HRT do its work.  I know it is hard sometimes...trust me, I definitely know!!!
