How long after your breasts have started growing should you schedule your first breast exam by a physician?

I was getting quarterly checkups for about the first year and a half.  She had me getting a mammogram at about 6 months...

I've had two mammograms and my breasts are exams twice a year by Endo or GP.  Are you also gowned and treated as MTF or are you not passable?  Hugs Shannon

(This thread is over five years old, and the other posters have left the site... but I did want to say that there's NO reason why someone who is "not passable" should not equally be treated as a woman and with respect!)

yes, everyone deserves respect no matter what the exam is, especially your breasts.
