Title: Cup Size on HRT
Post by: judithlynn on June 11, 2016, 06:33:46 PM
Hi ;
I am curious to get a feel for those of us on HRT - What cup size have we obtained after 12 months and 24 months  without Breast Augmentation (3 votes allowed).

For me it was A Cup after 12 months and B by the time I was on HRT for 22 months. I am sort of stuck between  B and C Cup without the fullness of full Tanner 3 size breasts but still growing after 38 months on HRT- thus needing BA.

You can have up to 3 votes:

1 vote for question 1-9
1 vote for question 10-18
1 vote for question 19-27
1 vote for either 28, 29 or 30

In the comments section please state Age group and Bust size and under band size now after commencing HRT

Under 20 years
21-30
31-40
41-50
51-60
60+

age group:21-30

cup size: 32B, underbust 29"

started as AA then went to A, then shrunk down in band size from a 36 to a 32 thus making me a 32B

On another note I feel like 2 years isn't a good enough time frame for this, since how our breasts look and their shape largely depend on loss of muscle mass which takes 3+ years. Losing that muscle mass makes all the difference in the world. Your shoulders and chest wall round out significantly over time and at 2 years fat redistribution is starting to really kick in. Like my breasts despite being small changed dramatically in shape after 3 years and most of that is due to the loss of and change of muscle/fat around my chest. I hit stage 4 at about 2.5 years but they didn't really round out more till the following year. I'm still seeing changes at the 4 year mark.

Band size can get smaller? Is this an anomaly or does this happen often after starting HRT?

Most of what little muscle mass I had was in my back so after a few years it shrunk back to the size I was at as a teen, like before I began weight training. Same with my neck and shoulders.

Hi Lady Oracle;
Following your recommendation I have added a 36 month option and added one more question at the end and reset the poll.
Thanks for your recommendations.
