I am over 13 months and still dont need one...

I got the feeling that things were starting to grow about three days after my first injection.  No one believed me at the time, but I was right, so it is possible

I'm 3.7 months in and I swear I don't see much looking in front of the mirror. But when I look 'down' it's definitely poking!

I felt my nipples start to increase sensitivity at day 3. About the 2 week the bud formed ( small). Now when I look down I am happy, I still do not need a bra. If I wear a sports bra then I tend to look like a guy with big pecs. If I do not wear a sports bra then I notice guys looking at my chest, mostly double looks. Odd how now I feel like look up here and look at them at the same time.

Very similar in my case. I got my first shot on April 16th and when I took a shower on April 20th evening I noticed small "peaks" under the nipples that weren't there before . And yes, the hyper-sensitivity that developed just only few days later... Just to shower in those parts was sometimes really painful. The sensitivity went to nice levels two weeks later.

And April 29th was the last time I used small gel breast forms. Although that was because of the increased sensitivity. Since then it's just an A push-up bra. I do seriously need it for like a month now because as the (here funnily called) "golf balls" inside go up and down while walking... It's not painful but it can be annoying :-D .

It's happening really fast for me.  Painful nubs in first week, quite noticeable tissue growth and magnetic attraction to moving doors and elbows.  Just six weeks or so.
Just started on spiro and progesterone a few days ago, I had very low T.

Bewbs!

I got the sensitive breasts about 3 weeks in.  I can't say I'm obsessed with how they are evolving - the fact that they ARE evolving is pretty much a miracle, and good enough for me 

I still present as a boy at work (3 weeks before that stops, yay), but for the first 3 months of this year I wore a sports bra mainly for its psychological benefit.  Now the bra is most useful for plain ol' protection of sensitive bits!

I got sensitivity in my breast area also around 2 to 3 days after my first injection..

Breast growth is not for sissies. lol, it is painful, especially when you bump into something.

The way i figured out my boobs were growing was just feeling them out. They get hard under the nipple a bit before they start growing then get really soft. Its sort of a pattern ive come to realize. Dont know if its for anyone else.
Just massage. Get the blood flowing through your breasts and they should grow faster.
Plus its fun. :3

From time to time ill just casually "play" with my boobs. Nothing sexual. They just feel good.

Wow, talk about boob play, I should know, as the boobs got larger I really get off on it. They are so cool to caress and the nipples are delightful to fondle, also. Sexual, hmmm, maybe, but definitely feels soooo good. I seem to be one of the few who hasn't had a painful growing pains type of thing going on with them. I do remember early on how the nipples were like a bud, like a small tumor behind each one, which softened up with time. I was really concerned about it when it first happened. I am so very happy that I can fill my sport bra with no problem at all! It was wrinkly at first, but no wrinkles anymore. I still go braless at work and going out, but just knowing that I can fill it makes me feel very feminine.

I definitely had a little bit of nipple sensation within a couple days, and it had progressed to visible growth with breast buds and undeniable pain by day 5. So it's possible.   The pain also seems to vary from woman to woman - I never had anything severe, as others have described. (But OMG, the itching.)

I havn't been itchy but I was sensitive and had pain only like 2-3 days in and now 4 weeks can see them budding I'm on progesterone and estrogen being on an AA I would think it would make it happen pretty fast but every body reacts different

Mine started budding and got very painful the first week. Now at 5 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days I'm filling an A cup. I still don't need to wear a bra yet though unless I want to as mine are very perky. Talk about bumping into things! Yeoooowwwch!!. Right now if I'm not careful with my arms I can make myself wince! They are fun to play with though, lol!! Booby's, YaY!!

Based on what I'm seeing here it sounds like a sports bra can be concealed fairly well. Is that right? I haven't started HRT yet, but I have no idea when I'm coming out at work. It would be nice to have some flexibility.

Sport bras seem to be a lot more comfortable to me than regular bras. They are softer and stretch well over the boobs. They seem to be concealed better than regular bras, true, plus the benefit of hiding the boobs a little bit better. And of course for athletic reasons like jogging, etc, so they won't bounce so badly. Now that can hurt without a bra, depending how big they are. I know mine would hurt!

I think a sports bra also helps with the shape. Ive worn one a couple times and each time my boobs come out rounder and a bit firm.

I've been told by many sources that sports bras aren't good for growing boobies.

I'm only an A cup at 6 months and my biological Mom was only a B cup, so I'm only expecting a B cup however, anything more is just gravy. Plus, I never knew my real father nor any of his family so who knows? I look a lot like my biological Mom though so I suspect I favor her side of my very small family.

Hi,

Started hrt 8 days ago and today is the first day I could feel any sensation of 'discomfort' in my nipples (could that explain why I joined today?). Trying not to have any expectations, just trying to be aware.

I'm probably going to be in a bad way, but not too soon (I hope).. I have to wear white uniform shirts for work, with a white tee under it, I think unless I get larger teeshirt sizes, the sports bra bands would be visible, specially in bright sunlight.  I'm not out yet, and the double pockets on the front helps hide these (B's), right now.. later.. not so much.  I had thot of getting some girls t-shirts, maybe with a shelf sewn in.. maybe athletic tees..  anyone see/use those?

Nude dosen't show as much under white and unless you stand around gasbagging and are not rushing around working people don't actually notice as much. Problem is you forgetting your wearing one for the first time
