...felt like having a small pillow under my chest.

Yup, I remember that feeling for the first time.  I don't do a lot of prone exercises now, though.

Yeah, I have to say I'm an utter newb at bra sizing! Guess I'm about to get a crash course

Yesterday marked a week with a sub dermal pellet, and dang my nips were sore! Think I can feel another growth spurt on the way!

Did yoga yesterday (we have a small class in the workplace once a week with a qualified instructor) and apart from feeling like my girls were super obvious even under my baggy tee we had one posture that involved lying on our front, for the first time it felt like having a small pillow under my chest.

As they become more developed sometimes just rolling over in bed at night will get a breast crushed. I was laying on my side when my spouse planted her elbow in one of mine as she rolled over, it was a true WTF moment!

My current yoga teacher has a very impressive bust, her demonstration of face down prone postures is quite... instructive!

Ow! Yes, I find myself much more protective of my chest area these days... I have reassessed a lot of what I used to think about breasts now that I have them myself.

You guys aren't scaring me off. I sleep on my side and I want boobs!! LOL

I'm very happy for you. I'm anxiously waiting to see what HRT does for my breast. I'm a little over weight so luckily my bra is filled. I love what I got  It would be pretty incredible to have full breasts. I got a ways to go with HRT though.

I hope the boob fairy is generous to you both! 

I hadn't heard of the Tanner Scale until recently and only just checked it out. Back in 1989 I obviously started at 1 and then developed through 2 and a bit during my first transition. Most of those developments never went away in the intervening years - probably due to my estrogen rich 20+ years vegetarian diet. So this time round I was starting from a point somewhere between 2-3 but probably closer to 3 which I well and truly reached not long after I restarted on E.

Measuring myself this morning it looks like I've increased across the bust by about 3/4 cm (almost half an inch) in the last few weeks... woo! Past an A cup now and on my way to B. Tanner 4, here I come!

Woo-Hoo  B( . )( . )IES! 

haha! W(.)(.)T!

Tanner 3 at 13 months but my endo and I continue to battle yo-yo T levels so until we get those under control who knows what will happen?

You know I just remembered this : I was just on the verge of going full-time, about four months on hormones, yet occasionally I had to go out as a boy. Things up top were definitely sore!

So I go to my meeting and this fellow who I hadn't seen in about a year comes up and does something I don't miss moron guys doing...he says  "Hey long time no see! Titty twister!". Grabs my nipples, and twists. Holy crap I go *AHHHHHHHHHHH!!*  and I went straight down on in a room full of people!

At least he was equally surprised! Hopefully he learned to be a little less obnoxious.

Also about breasts...it is true to be careful. The other day I ran out to my car and took a jarring step. I wasn't wearing a bra and they go *ba-boom* and recoil. My right boob hurt so bad for like ten minutes, and I didn't even hit it on anything! 

I must say though overall they really are very nice thing to have, and I hope you enjoy them!

Oh yeah how I remember the "Jackass" male bonding attempts made by those who didn't know back in the day, chest bumps or an open handed slap across the chest, it was enough to drive me to my knees. Not fun and thankfully it's past history!

So as I scratched myself through my shirt yesterday I realise I now officially have under boob.

Driving around this morning I felt a bit self-conscious. My boobs were jiggling a lil. 

We girls! 

ms grace, i read your post with both envy and trepidation. i am considering hrt to increase my breast size and bring my mind and body more in line with the woman within. i have slight gyno and can already comfortably wear an a to b cup. not sure i want to fully transition in the near future though and if my breasts were to grow i would want them to do that slowly.
your experience however clearly shows that the boob fairy has a mind of her own and one never knows where one will end up or how quickly. my concern would be to get to c cups too quickly and force a transition. yet when i read all these wonderful posts, i so want my breasts to be bigger! stuck between a rock and a hard place. is there such a thing as a slow start? i read hrt is reversible in the first 6 months?

I'm not exactly sure what's going on. I'm going on a month of HRT' There is definitely some going on with my breasts, but I don't Know if it's from the estrogen. Before I starts HRT I was being treated for depression. I stopped those drugs. I just don't  know for sure if its Gynecomasti from the antidepressant pills or I'm getting a small amount  of growth. Last week my nipples were sore than it stopped but this week there are getting a little sore again. I hope its growth.

Always happy to be an inspiration!  Depends on the HRT, certainly the longer you're on it the less reversible the effects. I imagine that if you start to get glandular development behind the nipple that wouldn't reverse. Or if it did, might take some time.

It's a great feeling! And better a jiggle than a dangle!!

No kidding Grace! I remember doing that too as a child, and figuring that it was totally normal; kinda of wrong on that point, at least for someone assigned a boy.  But fruits?! The wads of toilet paper were always a bit lighter lol!
