I was on premarin for about 3 1/2 years. Very bad results. My estradiol level never did come close to what it should of been. My endocrinologist was VERY stubborn . On January 18 i FINALLY convinced him to start me on estradiol. In December of 2012 i wasn't even a b cup . I am now a 38 dd. With no more flaps hanging over under my arm pits.Has anyone else here experienced such growth after switching estrogen.

There was actually a thread just today (or yesterday) where the woman said she had poor results on E, and switched to premarin (with better results)...hold on while I try to find it...
Here it is (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,143073.0/topicseen.html).
Obviously different hormones work different for different people. Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing. :)

I must say, I don't have any experience like that..but that seems like REALLY fast growth.

5 months to go from a <B to DD? Wow! How was the experience? Pain, itchy, awkward?

I'm pretty sure I'd end up being all red with that kind of growth from pinching and slapping myself to wake up.

Before my growth started i was 42 band size , now i'm a 38. The real growth started In April. My breasts became very sore and started swelling and started itching. It was more uncomfortable then painful. They are still growing. I Never expected them to grow so much. I didn't think it was possible. AT one time i was much heavier then i am now. Approximately 120 lbs heavier. That was about three years ago. I had moobs. I'm thinking once i got the proper estrogen running through my system my breast tissue developed faster because of my previous fat up there. I certainly am not expecting my breasts to get much bigger. I'm shocked they grew as much as the have.

Well, congratulations! :)
DD = "Double Dang"!! With any luck, I'll get down to a 42 band eventually... :-\

Deana, I have heard of cis girls losing band size as their cup size increase; yours was very fast. You must of been buying new bras every month to keep up with the way they were growing. Did you notice any difference in balance and how you carried your body and walked? I know some girls had to adjust as they developed and their was not near as fast either.
