Title: Moobs 'n' boobs

I'm sitting here killing time until I can start HRT. The mind wanders and idly speculates. I am wondering if there is any correlation between 'moobs' and breast development on HRT.
I am not overweight (though I'd still like to get my waist size down a bit before I start HRT), but I have some noticeable male breasts. Big enough to look kinda cute in a tight T-shirt. They aren't pecs, probably mostly fat.
So does that bode well for what I can expect once I start HRT, or is there pretty much no correlation at all?

Hi Kathy, I just noticed that you commented on my very first post here in December last year when I was totally lost. It seems we both are heading into the same direction.
I also had moobs before starting hrt and my endo suspected that my elevated prolactin levels could have been the cause for it. It certainly helped a bit for me as my moobs turned into boobs for sure. I'm now almost 6 months on hormones and it has been an awesome ride so far.
I wish you all the best for this new chapter of your life.

Thanks, Jessica.
I lost track of that thread and missed the part where you came out to your wife. I just caught up with it now. A belated congratulations on that! You are zooming ahead with your transition; that's great!
It took me a bit longer. I came out in June and am just now preparing to start on HRT. I may be slow, but I'm moving in the right direction. :)

It could be gynecomastia. I had some of that from late teens and i was pretty lean. By my early 20s i could comfortably wear a small cup sized bra. I would suspect that would bode well for HRT. It has for me, i have developed pretty rapidly.
I have no science to back that up though.

The moobs give you the fatty deposits in the right place, giving you a running start. At 3 months in, 2 on estradiol, I've had breast 'buds', the hard sore breast glands, for over a month, areolae enlarged, everted nipples, and the shape is pretty close to a Tanner Stage 3. I went from moobs + a silicone pad to just me in a 34B. :D

I really hope it does aid breast growth, I do have some moobs at the moment
