ok so I've been on hrt in total eight months but I don't usually count the first three months as they were very low dose and without an anti androgen so for the first three months I noticed little to no changes in my body and no change at all in my breasts... But ive been on a slightly higher dose of E and a somewhat low dose of spiro for about five months and I have definitely had some slight soreness, lots of itching and I feel hard disc like lumps under my breasts ive still had very little growth... theres definitely been a slight visual change but my chest still looks way below an a cup... I just turned nineteen and started at eighteen, all the women in my family have big breasts and I am not underweight...is this the average amount of growth at this stage or am I behind? Once again im not even close to a female looking A cup, there more like pointy and puffy and stick out a bit but theres no cleavage and there still really small... Is this a normal amount of growth for five months and wdo I still have a chance at getting at least a small b? What were yours like at five months?

Sounds normal to me, if you google tanner scale you will see the time scale involved for a natal female, from memory breast buds (tanner 2) at around 3 months, tanner 3 (something resembling a breast shape) is 6-12 months, its a slow process

Hey Anna . :) At 5 months I think mine were about the same as what you're describing now. They've grown 2cm and I can now create a bit of cleavage with a nude bra, but I'm at 7 months now.
I also feel like my growth is slow since I've read of women getting an A cup in no time and I'm not even there yet.
But like everyone on here says, it's different for everyone and it doesn't grow at the same rate the whole time either

Cis girls take something like 5-10 years to finish developing, so it's normal. :)
Citing the Tanner scale was good, but the reality is breast buds (Tanner II) around 10-11 years old, Tanner III is not for a year-18 months on average. Full growth at "15+." So it's usually a gradual process, and speed doesn't indicate anything about final size; some women develop fast and small, some slow and large, and anything in between is possible too.

Mine was practically the same. Boobs grow really slow lol & not trying to be too much of a bitch, most of the girls who say "I had a B cup at 6 months!" usually also say that their band size is like a 38-40+. Being overweight would obviously help anyone (even cis males) in terms of breast growth since they obviously had it to begin with lol

I'm almost 2 weeks and I'm not sure if I'm feeling phantom pain (placebo effect) or if its actually real. However when I feel myself, they don't feel any different than normal and they don't feel any more sensitive to my touch. Combine that with that on Monday I'm supposed to double my dosages and I suspect its in my head.

Have a question. I had been on regular herbs, including PM, early on, around 5 or 6 years ago. The last year been on BO and am now going to E-patches. I am at a small C cup now. My mother and sister were C cups, but my grandmothers both had larger than C cups, as I recall, visually, anyhow. When I go onto the patches, what are the odds of gaining more enhancement and if there is more, how much more would be possible and in what time span? I know this is a tough one, but just wondering what I am up against.

My research indicated is that the average is you will be about 1 cup size smaller than the average women's size in your family. Personally I've always felt that if boobs get too big they aren't attractive because they can't hold themselves up anymore and sag. From what I've seen, C seems to be a good size. I'm hoping for that myself. I would consider yourself lucky to be where you're at. I also know if they get to big, you will experience back pain. I have a former boss who's wife went past a DD and had nasty back pain. He said they had been growing for as long as he knew her and they met in high school. I think that was 25 years ago.

As long as there is some growth, it's all good. :) But they won't grow indefinitely! lol. Sometimes, increasing E and adding P can help with more growth, only if none is observed after quite some time BUT, as always, consult with your doctor, report your results and see what can be done with THEM.
