Hey AJ you started HRT so late, but you said you have breasts. I was told you lose a cup size for every 10 years after 12. Can you tell us how big are you? I am late, but not yet on HRT, and I thought that meant zero development.
Oh, and Sideways do you get the greater emotions and feminine interests, you know the mental changes on rolaxifine?

Lauren,
I did start late, and I know that I am one of the lucky ones to have growth this good.
Biggest part of that is genetics as my Mom was very, very big.
Her breasts were too big, and she had lots of back pain from the weight of them.
She always wanted surgery to reduce them but it never happened for her.
I don't remember exactly but I believe she was around a 44D or bigger.
So far, I am at 38C and I am half way into my 2 years or so of development.
I haven't measured for about 6 weeks so I might be bigger than that but at my age, I do not expect too much more growth.
I talked to my doctor yesterday and she said that I still have some growth and fat distribution yet to happen.
She said that my nipples haven't really started yet but that should happen soon.
My boobs have hurt without stopping since the first month of HRT.
My doctor said that she can tell that my skin is clearer and softer, and I love that.
I also love that I smell so much better.
My mom, her sister and my grandfather all had Alzheimer's so I eat different (low carbs) from the way they did and without testosterone, I no longer need anti-perspirants.
They all ate high carb/low fat diets and used antiperspirants.
My waist is clearing of fat and "new" fat is starting to work its way to my butt (Yay!).
I want curves!!!
I wear a vest or, a compression shirt (rarely) and/or loose clothing to hide them as I am "out" to only my immediate family and not the world.
Even though I hide them, I would like a little more growth.
I transition for me, I exercise a lot by lifting weights, doing Pilates and walking 5 to 8 miles a day.
I am 5'11" have lost 42 pounds, down from 210 and am now at 168 to 172 and that seems to fluctuate.
I want to get to 157 which I haven't been trying to do for the past 2 months.
The Pilates, walking and weights will make me look better than just losing weight, so I am very motivated to exercise.
When I try to lose the weight, it happens with plateaus or shelves that stairstep down at about 4 pounds every 2-3 months.
I have goals for how I want to look and my timetable to complete my weight loss goal is 6-8 months from now.
I am what Dr. Ann Vitale describes as a 3rd category of M2F transgender.
I struggle with complete transition and at 65 my old maleness habits are difficult to shed.
http://www.avitale.com/developmentalreview.htmI am unsure if I will ever fully transition although I did have my orchie 4 weeks ago which should help with my feminization goals.
Sorry for the long reply...
Hugs!
AJ
