I woke up this morning and (there they are!!)
Good morning Girls!!!
Looked like they grew 2" overnight and they are way out there...
Will they stay or is this a growth bump that comes and goes until they settle in?
My Mom was huge but her Mom was small so it looks like I will take after my Mom?
I was hoping for something in-between...
I'm 7 weeks on HRT and they are almost big enough for me already as I wanted to stay stealth.
If this keeps up, I'll never hide them....

Since they're still growing technically I wake up to bigger boobs every morning. ;D
I haven't had growth like that in one night though.
I haven't had noticeable growth in one night. It's such a slow grow that I would notice growth every few months or so, but mine only got to a B cup. I still present as male, and any larger might begin to be really noticeable, but I've been on HRT for over ten years, so I probably won't get any bigger. :(

I took my brother to the VA today so I haven't been able to take measurements. According to measurements5 days ago I was a C cup. I guess I'll find out later when I get home. I don't mind but it is happening pretty fast. Thanks for responding👍
Hi AJ,
My growth has been steady but I'm a 1963 model - that might be a factor along with several other things, genetics, etc. Started my prescription six months ago.

My thoughts exactly! My girls have been feeling like they are going through a growth spurt for the last month.
Only in my dreams deary, only in my dreams.
If over-night growth happened it would help quell the "guy" for sure.
Gee, after reading this I think I'll take a nap and see what happens :)
AJ,
Sounds like this was a pleasant surprise for you! :)

Darn, I took a kitty nap and woke up to the same sized beasts.

My boobs have outgrown their manly shirts and now when I absolutely need to present male I wear a binder. I wish I didn't have to. Do you know how many years, decades actually that I prayed for boobs? But not in a day. About six months actually but it did seem pretty quick. They certainly did burn every day.

Same here, but my kittty nap (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,230213.40.html) involved anesthesia.
Well, I sort of did. Like Kendra my nap involved surgery, on my right arm, including removing four lymph nodes from my right armpit.
The next day my right breast had gained about half a cup size. This was very likely from accumulating lymphatic fluid, but the change persisted.
The left side is now catching up![emoji4]

I believe what happened was perception. My measurements show that on my diet in 5 days I lost another pound and a half and that I have reduced my chest (under the breast measurement) by 1 inch. I gained 1/4" in a measurement around the chest/nipple measurement. That made it look so drastic to me. On my diet, sometimes I drop a pound sometimes I gain a pound. Some days I am down 3 pounds so it is a rollercoaster ride. Over all, i am enjoying the changes and feel motivated by the slow process of becoming more and more feminine. I keep a diary and have pictures of where I want to be by the end of this year. The pictures help to motivate me when I get a craving for something I shouldn't eat. I look at my goal visualization pictures before I eat anything to keep me motivated.

So what is your diet?
Part Ketogenic (eggs, meats and cheeses) mixed with lots of veggies and fruits and nuts as snacks.
No breads, no sugar, no rice, no juices and very little milk (one cup per day with a cup of corn flakes cereal)...
I do Pilates once a week, lift weights 3 times a week and I walk 6 miles a day.
I don't life weights to gain bulk, I lift to maintain strength and muscle tone.
The once a week Pilates is really helping with the mid-section and it involves an hour and a half.
Plus, muscle burns fat and that is good for toning and weight control.
I'm 64 and I need to work out and work hard to reach my goals.

Thanks. Im 64 too
We are Sisters in time!
I took a picture at the start of this journey and will have one for each month.
Not liking the look yet but I see improvement already and weight loss is a big part of it.
At a year with hard work, I plan on having a womanly shape and happy wit how my body looks.
At 64, I have lived a pretty good life except for the dysphoria causing self-abuse that tried to kill me.
I bruised, I bled, and I caused a good bit of swelling.
My self-abuse could have killed me at any time if I had made just one mistake.
I see this as an adventure that took a while to get started.
I knew what it was like to be a biological male and I hated it.
Now with spiro and estrodoil, I finally feel right mentally and the physical changes are a huge plus.
That, and now I have a future because with HRT and "HOPE", I am not abusing myself.
When the orchi happens next Fall, I will have gotten rid of the anatomy part that I hated so much.
So now and for the rest of my life, I get to live on the "right side" of my gender instead of the "other/wrong side".

ajtent, losing inches in the midsection area sure does make your boobs look better and bigger too.
I have been taking pictures of my girls in some months intervals to be able to see the growth. My Endo advised me to do this. Anyway, I don't see any difference day by day by looking in the mirror. However, sometimes they look bigger after waking up and doing my morning routine. But it might be wishful thinking also. :)
My measurement by my Endo last year was 11 centimeter, no idea to what cup size that is. I am on HRT 2.5 years and 9mts DIY before that.
I think I am a B or C cup, not sure, bra's are so difficult to find and measure. 38 inch chest /42.5 inch breast tape measure.
Funny you should ask, ajtent.
I've been on HRT since May, 2017. I was very overweight when I started, and have lost most of it; I had man-boobs, and I've always suspected that what I've had since then were holdovers, at least initially. I don't know if that disqualifies them or not; I suspect any sort of boobs you can hang onto are good boobs. :)
When I started HRT, I specifically asked the doctor who prescribed it if I should take the E orally or sublingually; and he said orally, in a tone that brooked no disagreement. So, I did as directed for about six weeks, noticing no changes at all: physical or emotional. I decided to go with my gut and start taking it sublingually; and within 24 hours I experienced my first nipple soreness. Eventually, I got into some serious boob pain, which had me laughing at work one day. It hurt so bad, but for such a good reason.
Then, it stopped. The soreness continued; but I saw no increase in feminization for months. I switched doctors; and, on my second visit to the endocrinologist, he said my lab tests showed that my E was swinging wildly between doses -- over 400 just two hours after, then just above 70 six hours after.
You know what he did? He told me to start taking it orally again. I was stunned, because everything -- everything -- I have read says the opposite. I told him that, and he smiled. He said to give it a month, then test again.
So, that's what I've done, for about two weeks now. And, son of a gun, I think they're growing. I could still be imagining it; but in the last few days they've seemed fuller.
Weird, huh?

I think we all have "weird" unexplainable growing pains. I know for a fact my boobies are growing (slowly), but so far I have not had any pain, not even a slight pinch.
Lucky you. :)
I wish mine hurt, so I know they getting bigger. :)
I can personally attest to the "seems like overnight" phenomena-
I was at Drill for the Navy this past weekend and my nipple were poking through my nightgown-but no boobs to speak of-
Fast forward to Monday afternoon and...there they are. No much, but a noticeable difference.
They still hurt and my body armor( I'm a cop) is ill fitting now- or at least its uncomfortable to wear.
But you know what? I don't care because THERE THEY ARE!!! [emoji1380]

This Bud's for you. :D
Beware the boob fairy!
For me there are mornings that I seemingly noticed that my breasts were suddenly fuller but then later in the day not so much. Perhaps it is the daily cycle of things in my body... hormones, water retention, etc.
I remember my old male body of waking up with morning wood... no such thing anymore thankfully.
My breasts are steadily growing, I think that it might be difficult to judge accurately on a daily basis... weekly or monthly seems to be the best gauge of growth for me.

I don't think changes happen so quickly so that I suspect your soreness 24 hours later might have just been the result of exposure to E over several weeks and it happened to coincide with taking it sublingually 24 hours before. I personally took the same dose orally and sublingually and I had similar results.

That's what I didn't like on sublingual, levels going up and down quickly, I feel better on steadier levels. :)

I hope you're right. I would really like to see some feminization here.
Well, after a wonderful Singles Awareness Day, I woke up this morning was getting dressed and was going to put a kinda jersey looking Disneyland 1955 long sleeve shirt that I have had forever and never wore.
As I put it on it rubbed against the Twin Sisters and ooooooooooooooooooooh - no free floating material if I'm driving. So, I thought, okay, I'll put on my sports bra and then as I began to put the shirt back on - ooooooooh - can see the slight color variation thru the material.
So, I decided, okay, bra, tight fitting short sleeve tee and then the Disneyland shirt but oooooooooooooooooooooh - the Disney shirt's collar is lower than the short sleeve tee's and looks oooooooooooooooooooooooh - so tacky :)
Two months ago I would have thrown the tee on and out the door, lol.
Honestly, I had some really early development of buds and then it halted about a week ago, when I accidentally injured my throat. I'm hoping as my folds have finished recovering that my development will jumpstart again--or, at least, that development hasn't actually stopped in the meantime. Overall, though, development actually was pretty quick when it was happening.
Before surgery I had A cups, and I woke up with D cups, Thanks and Ouch!😊

Why even try to hide something so beautiful? I figure, if I am gonna pack them around all day, I am going to have fun with them!
