What can a person like I expect, gigantic breasts or something like this?
I mean if former cis people get breasts with D cup measures, what will I get who starts out with almost a B cup? My body is slowly transitioning for about 15 years now. All the emotional changes are there already, almost all the physical changes are in progress without any extra estrogen. And that is my question, what would additional estrogen do with my body?
What can a person like you expect? So, I am not a doctor and all that. I don't know, and probably not many here do. I presume your own doctor would have given you some idea on that.
And, not nearly your situation, but I have some experience with long-term estrogen exposure, stopping, and then starting. Perhaps it gives one data point:
I was on some form of estrogen for about 30 years. When I turned 60, my GP said, "No mas" and also reminded me that cis women stop producing estrogen at some point, and they do not lose their womanhood in doing so. So, I thought I would see how it went. Physically, I noticed very little. But mentally, after 3 or 4 months, I just did not feel like me. Hoping to go back on estrogen, I went back to the GP, who said essentially, go see an endocrinologist. That took a while, but about 10 months after stopping, I was back on estrogen. I noticed almost no physical changes at that point. But again, after about 3 months, I started to feel more like me. Every month, I feel a bit more like me. It's been more than a year back on estrogen, and again, almost no discernable physical changes from 2 years ago when I had been on estrogen for 30 years.
So, what will your changes be? If you have been slowly physically transitioning over the last 15 years, I expect you won't see many differences at all. After 30 years on E, on or off E, physically, I was very close to the same. Maybe this happens to you too. However, whatever the change, especially with physical changes, they will happen very slowly.
