First of all I know that there is no way to really know the outcome of the size of breasts any of us will end up with, just curious to know where I am at in the curve on average for trans women.

Right now I am a 34 A possibly a B all the bra measurements sites are a little confusing. I was completely flat chested no fat and hardly any muscle. 6'2" and 135 lbs pre HRT if that gives you any indication of how non existent my chest was lol.

I have been on HRT 5 1/2 months. First month low dose E, last 4 months upped the dose of E and now am on a higher dose of E. My Spiro was upped after month 1 but has remained the same dose, my T levels are at female range, my estrogen levels are not and am most likely going to shots to increase my E levels soon.

Am I above average for breast growth or at about an average level for 5 1/2 months?

Yes! It takes time...just look at genetic females. As long as there is some breast growth, up to a certain point of course, you are good and I don't think you should change anything. Regardless of levels, if there is growth, good results and you feel good, then that's all that matters, in my book.

Yeah I'm feeling good about it Just wondering if I'm going to be larger like my mom and younger sis or if I'll be on the smaller side like my bigger sis?!?!

EDIT: Oh and going to shots isn't for breast growth it's merely to get my E levels up to a cis females range. I just wanted to give all the info I could.

Ok. In general though, transsexual women don't have as much as genetic females or their sisters or mothers. Could be due to several factors, underdosage, low growth hormone levels, advanced age vs puberty, genetics (XY), or perhaps just looks smaller because of our larger chests in most cases??

In any event, be glad things are growing right now. Enjoy...and time will tell how much you end up having.

Let it be known that this range you talk about is very wide, ranging from 20-30 pg/ml to up to 600 pg/ml. Levels go higher during pregnancy. And that those same women you are comparing yourself with had much higher growth hormone levels when they developed and feminized so may have needed much lower levels.

Injectables tend to give much, much higher levels...and levels fluctuate quite a bit, from very high on days 1-2 to significantly lower after 7-8 days in most. When will your blood be drawn? Because taking level at only one point in time is far from reflecting average levels, many blood tests would have to be taken at different times...

Taking estradiol cypionate, estradiol valerate?

Above average, based on all the trans women I've talked to. And don't forget that cis girls can take 5-10 years to hit their full growth, so even a slow start doesn't necessarily mean a smaller finish (or a fast start a bigger ending size, for that matter).
