One year in and very unsatisfied with breast growth!

[PurplePelican]

But I´m approaching 2 years mark and that is generally thought to be the time, when major breast growth is done.

You know, I've seen this spouted by trans women for years, but I can't find a single verifiable source for it - and it certainly goes against the science.

Oh, and here's a tip - I've never come across a plastic surgeon who didn't recommend unneeded procedures to trans women and a BA is easy money..

You say it lady!  They can make money only with cutting!  They are not healers, they are the pimpers of the surgical profession! (instead of pimp my ride, it is, pimp my body!)

Yes of course it is easy money. But I can see, that my breasts are never going to be anything close to a cis woman. They are nice, but there are even men with bigger boobs than me...

And like I´ve said before, I just want this transition process to be over as quickly as possible. I don´t want to wait, and I havent waited.

8 months from HRT start to SRS and 10 months to ID change and done. Should have taken BA also at 8 month mark and be done with this. I don´t see anything fun about this transition half-way house.

Wow, I got a lot of really quality posts in this thread! Thanks for all the information people, I feel a lot better about how I'm progressing after reading everyone's experiences here.

...Apart from breast growth, you're skin will be changing, your nails, hair, etc... it doesn't seem a good time to reduce your body's fuel intake, tight when you are asking it to try to do the biggest u-turn possible...

This is a very interesting point to make. Ever since I started on hormones I've felt ravenously hungry at times and totally incapable of controlling my appetite, snacking on practically anything I can get my hands on. But, I really, really, really want to lose weight and I'm so, so close to my lifelong goal of 150 pounds. I just need to lose another ten pounds to get there, but I can't seem to make any headway on it. So frustrating!

Right now my relationship with food and exercise is very disordered and my therapist even told me that I should be careful because I'm in danger of becoming full-blown anorexic. But, I look really good, better than I ever have in my life, and I couldn't stop dieting at this point even if I wanted to. I have to reach my goal and then I can relax my diet, not before.

When I begins my HRT one and half year ago my Therapist and Endocrine told me medical transition is a slow and tedious process.  For some can see the changes quicker than others.  That's why I signed from of consent to allow my Endocrine treat me and so far I am just happy with my progress.
