So far in my transition at 19 months I've been very lucky to have size 38DD in bra size. I know I want a tad more , but I'll be happy with what I have. Just a curious stat on whether your breast size determines your transition satisfaction or is it irrelevant .

I suppose so. I have little ones and I love them to bits <3

I'm kinda disappointed in the size, in the first year on HRT I still had pec muscles and also a new fatty tissue layer and it was a nice B. Then over the next 12 months I lost all my pec muscles and all thats left is my small A. So I will have a BA... no big deal.  ;D

so far no...im more focused on enjoying the "new" sensations that have been coming from them. Super sensitive and somewhat erotic everywhere. Oh then theres the perkiness factor too. The fact that the doctor said I have real mammory glands now and that underneath it felt normal was also a plus.

Now I started with gynecomestia from having a mild intersex condition and also from being fat. They are approaching C but still a B at this point. Im a 46b officially

I don't have massive boobs, same "b" cup for years, but guess what, I love the feeling of them, but also its not the whole story... there are other things to make me feel a woman, but I would certainly feel much less confident moving forward without them.

Seeing my boobs grow was what made me believe that this was possible and that I could transition.  Yea, doesn't make sense to me either but still, as I saw my girls grow my fears diminished and my hopes rose. 

My boobs are my boobs, I like them and I'm happy with them.  I come from a long line of skinny flat chested women so I didn't have any wild expectations about size.

I don't know , they are what they are , but they're pretty cool

Over 4 years of HRT, and I doubt that mine have reached an A cup.   A long time ago, I took the attitude of "Fake it till you make it".   I wear small breast forms or push-up bras still, probably always will at this point. 

4 years full time, happy as I can be, and my breasts are okay too.   Occasionally, I think about having implants, but I really don't mind being a flat-chested girl.

With my larger upper torso size I have found that what nature has given me so far is still not proportionate to the rest of my body. I'm pretty sure that when/if money allows I am getting a BA to fix that. When I use pads I just feel a lot more complete - it's hard to explain.

Mine are maybe decent B cup. A c cup would be nice. My plastic surgeon does BA all the time if I need. A girl needs decent size breasts.

 As long as my moobs turn into decent looking boobs. I'll be happier than a clam at a frog bake.

I have a larger torso too , so I know the feeling of proportionality when I have a nice dress on and look side ways in the mirror

When my boobs started developing it was soo excited. I am very proud of my girls. Size 14B and beautiful :D

34B at 4 months and growing. I'm at 6 months now and the 36A I have doesn't even fit anymore.  I'm happy mostly.

I think the size has helped, but as far as outward appearance all that has resulted in was my shrinking the breast forms as they have grown out. Still looking at the growing breasts brings joy to my heart.

I am blessed with D cups, and I love my breasts. I was very excited when they started to grow and it gave me the satisfaction that the hormones are working as the breasts is the first physical indicator.

I love to wear tops that show off my cleavage, and I love to wear a push-up bra's. When  I visited a topless beach, i was not shy to be topless.

But overall, I am very happy with my transition, i love the female body I now have.

The further into transition I get, the less my body has anything to do with my happiness.  I'm happy that I get to be myself and that everyone sees me as myself.  I could be flat chested and that wouldn't change.  I used to examine my breasts all the time in the mirror looking for every miniscule sign of growth, but now I'll walk by a mirror naked from time to time and go, "oh wow, they've gotten bigger" and keep walking.  I happen to be a 34B right now, which is proportional to my body so I'm satisfied with my development.  I used to think that if I didn't get at least a C cup, I would get BA, but now my perspective has changed and I don't care.

Well, I am getting BA tomorrow morning. I am excited but for my body type.. bigger than I wish they needed to be.. I will be a busty girl. I am only 5-6 but 36" band...so I will be a D or bigger.
No more sprinting I suppose..
Anyway, I think they will give me more confidence because I will have nice cleavage ..

I've still got itty bitty low-end Bs after 29 months, but really that's one of the things I care about the least. I've never really been a boob person, I think small ones are cute. And they may not be big or fully developed yet, but they're there, so I really don't care what size they are as long as I have them.

I stress out about the bigness of the rest of my body, and my face, and my genitals much more. In terms of things that I worry about, boobs are probably near the bottom of my list.

My target is cup B. But also smaller will be great.
So, yea, 'women come in all sizes'. And I prefer smaller breasts.

But as the matter of fact I know at least one other MtF that wants them big. Got implants in place.

Well an alternative would be bioidentical estro implants after srs... some people have reported feminization after switching to pellets or injections... and giving it some time...
just a thought...

My girls go crazy after i switch from pills to injection, now i,m at 75D ( in EU measurement ) and i see they are starting to grow out from D cup.
I'm 1,5 year on hrt and 3 months on injections.
And i love them, totally, my gf love them too :-)

Just having breasts is enough.

for me personally , I think it's more to do with proportionality . If I could get my weight down while keeping what I have it would be perfect.

For me, yes breasts mattered. One of the first things that happened to me which confirmed being trans was the first time I had breast forms on...coincidentally they were about the size I am now, and omg it is *so* affirming to feel and see them.

I understand why women who have double mastectomies often become depressed...so much of a woman's identity and self image is tied to the breasts.

If I didn't get my girls through HRT, I would definitely be looking into BA...but to each their own, all woman are women, and beautiful in their own right.

  I always prefer absolute maximum of C on women.  As long as they have any semblance of the typical form I'm attracted, particularly to A-cup or similar.  In my transition I never wished for large breasts, but I certainly would have been quite disappointed if nothing happened.  My goal was enough breast mass to properly anchor a bra and to show a little shadow curve beneath when nude.  After 19 months on estrogen I'm a comfortable 34B and I'm ecstatic about them in just about every way!  I wouldn't mind a touch more volume below the nipple but I hardly need more outwardly visible size.  I can comfortably go without a bra at this size or I have the flexibility to boost them up a size or create cleavage on the extreme end.  I can be as modest or bold as I want and I never have to worry about being self-conscious.  It's the same for tons of cis women, so I hardly feel abnormal.

I'm a 28DDD (32D through sister sizing) and want to be at least a 28H.

 At my age im hoping that  I can get at  a small C  so that I can show some nice cleavage. Boobs are not every thing, a nice smile and  legs  are good to but boobs shure help. ;)

And this is all natural or?

I like them and I'm happy to have them, but I don't think they affected me much once they were large enough to be comfortably visible to me. :)


(That said, I'm 38DD and hoping they're almost done as I don't want to end up much bigger; it's possible I would have had a different answer in the first few months.)

Right on DG, me too.  I just love feeling real after the years of having a shadow haunt me and my dreams.  A handful is good enough;-)  And those are my big hands most of the time;-)

  I figured I'd add something to my previous thoughts.  Breasts were important-enough to me having a positive body image and combating dysphoria that before developing I couldn't bring myself to present in public without faking them.  This was annoying to put on every time and have it look and move to my 'perfectionist' standards, it was excessively hot to wear (doubled-bra plus gel inserts), particularly in summer, and it felt like a costume and was extremely depressing to take off when necessary.  Now my breasts are 'just there', move and feel like a part of me, and I don't have to put any effort or thought into it.  In some shirts they even look flawless without a bra.  They're visible enough to other people that they act as an important cue when they assess my gender.  If anyone does happen to ask I get to tell them the full truth without any anxiety that "yes, they're real".  Not that it's anyone's business and it shouldn't matter, but not having to be evasive or lie about it is very comforting (and I'm a lousy liar!).  I'm now a genuine female in the way most of the general public expect to see it.

one of my biggest conflicts as a preteen and teen was the inability to fit in a bra like any other girl, wow, what a feeling to feel that a bra was made for my body.

I've had male clerks stare at my breasts while I'm getting my card or cash...then they say, "thank you, sir. .
I look them in the eye and say back. "Ma'am."

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't notice..."

Yeah right. You were staring at my BOOBS. :\

Hi Dodie,
I hope that everything went well with your surgery, and you are happy with the results :)

I wear 34A's, which would be considered so small, but I'm about as passable at 9 months HRT as I could ever dream of.  So, for me, it's pretty irrelevant.

Surgery was great.
I am doing well now, I can wear all the clothes I felt funny about because I have the curves now
My confidence is way up
My chest is D size , hard to get used too
More later about the affect the surgery had on my mental stability good and bad
Love ya Keri

To be honest I am much more interested in what *men* think about my boobs.

:~]

Yes definitely;
Initially when I started the HRT a second time, I felt very self conscious about how small my breasts were and how I might present, so I went to a local corsetiere and ordered a pair of Amoena Breast forms (See: http://www.amoena.com.au/Products/Breast-Forms/Natura/Natura-Light-3S/Natura-Light-3S#).
They are designed for women that have had a mastectomy  and  are designed to drape softly, so that they closely resemble the fall of a woman's own breast so  no-one will know that I am wearing a breast form.  This gave me a very realistic natural breast look.

As the HRT has worked its magic over the last two years and I have grown to a small B Cup I have had with the breast forms had to increase my Bras sizes to a full C Cup, which really has accentuated my overall look and much more importantly given me a lot of confidence presenting as a woman.

As the Amoena Web site says..It can transform your outline in clothes and give a vital boost to your figure and your self-confidence. All Amoena breast forms have the look, feel and texture of a natural breast. Close physical contact, even a hug, will not reveal that you are wearing a breastform..."

Now if I don't get to a natural C Cup at a minimum or preferably a D Cup which I think will better suit my body frame then I think its likely to be  a Breast Augmentation - thats why I have been looking at Dr Kim in LA: http://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgery.com

One little thing my girl friend Alison taught me when I first transitioned some 25 years ago which I do today is when you are lying in bed at night every day give yourself a breast massage for 5-8 minutes on each breast by cupping your breast in your opposite hand. I quite often wake up during the night with my  opposite hand still under my breast cupped, I just wish it was someone else's hand cupping my breasts!

You could try twice a day... its an old recipe to increase blood flow, it also can set free some hormones... for a better feeling...
and quite a few people say it helps with growth...

Now that I have had BA thought I would chime in again.. not even sure what I said last time I responded on this thread.
For me, I did get the right size for my body type.. I am a 36 to 38 D... they seem huge to me but look natural.
I think I went through some post surgical depression.. not sure why.. I am suddenly feeling complete but its like arriving at a destination and then going.. whats the big deal..
I tend to cope well and forget things from the past that bothered me.. so my GID being gone for so long now and feeling like a regular person, nothing to hide really is strange.. I must go on now.. but now I am a chick.. and the breast do draw attention.. size... being large.. well they just fit me so I suppose my answer is yes, for passing and attention I get I like it ...

I strange thing is I don't really want breasts. Which is odd because I don't feel like a guy. I probably just have a very ->-bleeped-<-ty view on what being a girl is.

That's what you get for being raised male and then identifying with a group of people you know nothing about.  :D

Maybe that's not so strange?  I mean we all have breasts and some are more prominent that others.  Plenty of ciswomen out there who happily sport A cups and/or go with padded bras.  Sometimes our identification with/as women can include stereotypes learned early on.  i always identified with my mom as a kid and now I look a bit like her too.  Breasts are simply not essential for gender identification IMO.
