I am careful about not hurting my breasts and examining them every two weeks,

Once a month is often enough.  I am not psyched up about getting a mammogram done next February.  *sigh*  It comes with the territory.

Just an interesting observation here..for me anyway....

When my wife gets up in the morning and heads to the bathroom, she stops at the mirror and looks at her hair.

I stop and look at my boobs...strange!

wish I had something to look at...

mine are still pointy little buds. i feel that women have certainly noticed them, and that men have certainly not noticed them.

I wish you did, too.  Have you talked to your doctor about this?  And what did (s)he say?

What is he / she going to say? not much they can do about it as I've tried just about every hormone and anti - androgen in existance....

I have a boob job lined up but I am dissapointed in the poor results gained from hormones in 7 years and I was nieve in thinking they might produce good results. It's now all down to seeking various surgery in order to create some kind of female shape. I need liposuction to the waist but I still don't know how to gain fat in my lower part of my body (butt). So far I have only male type fat distribution.

Have your hormone levels been checked?  And what were the results?  Have you been checked for estrogen insensitivity syndrome or congenital estrogen deficiency?

Yes,Lisbeth is right, I would checkout all options before going for surgery. There could be a problem that you're not responding to the hormones very well.

I know we can't discuss dosages here, but I would find someone else to compare dosages with, just to see if you are in the same ballpark. I have heard of a few doctors that only prescribe really tiny dosages, almost as if they don't want anything to happen...

It's nothing to do with doses.....some people DO NOT DEVELOP female fat distribution no matter what the dosage is. I've been on  high doses, so high my prolatin went through the roof... and tried low doses and most hormones and anti -androgens...

i know, i've said this before, (why do i always have to say the same things over and over?)...but i have been trying to augment my HRT by adding correct dosages of amino acids and specific vitamins to help stimulate a normal amount of Human Growth Hormone production within the pituitary. word is, that as people continue on past their 20's, it's "normal" for HGH production to slow down substantially, and nearly stop around the mid 40's.

Vitamin guru Earl Mindell (of The Vitamin Bible fame) says that proper dosages of the correct vitamins and amino acids can allow a person in their 50's the ability to get HGH levels at about the same rate as a person in their 20's. i know it sounds crazy, but i don't write this stuff, i'm just passing along what i've come across in my reading.

Your kind of in the right area Ell and I know what you are talking about.....it's worth trying...

You see Berliegh! Like Elle said! I think I mentioned that once before too.
I also have that book by Earl Mindel, plus it's mentioned in many other books. It's also mentioned many times on the net. Just google : " growth hormone releasers" and more info. will pop up than you'd want to read.

I have nice little B boobs.  I wanted bigger but I am pleased for small favors.

I only present male and sometimes guys stare at my chest.

September 17th was the first time I wore a sports bra in public.  Now I even wear a sports bra to bed.  This is the first time in two years my boobs do not hurt and all the bruises can heal!  I can even sleep on my stomach with a sports bra!  I needed a sports bra for over one year.

When my boobs first started growing I examined them every 10 minutes.  Now I examine them every evening when I take a shower.  I do wonder if I lose weight if they will get smaller.  My chest has shrunk two inches so that my boobs seem bigger even though they are about the same size.

Yes, a friend and I heard about this sometime ago and growth hormones could be the answer in triggering the receptors to work again. Usually after puberty
the stage is set so to speak and if you think of it in terms of a tormato, once it's grown you can't change it....growth hormones may have some properties that could do the job..

If you lose weight, your breast will also decrease.
I've been stalled at a small 36C for 6 months because I lost a LOT of weight (25 pounds, I'm 160 pounds and 6 feet) and also some of my pectoral muscle at the same time they were stimulated to grow.

If I had those extra 25 pounds I'd surely be at 36D by now!!

Many TS who report quick breast growth are slightly deluding themselves because they are almost always sporting quite a few extra pounds. My best male friend by that token would be a B or C cup already just because he's overweight!!

As much as you complain Berliegh, judging by your pictures you seem to have breasts (it seems like at least a B cup) and look female.  Strike me a little confused    If you were expecting huge breasts, you were destined to be disappointed.

I went from flat to an A cup in a couple of months.  I weighed 149 lbs at 5'9", and I have not gained much weight since I started.  Its been a little over 3 1/2 months and I am a full A.
People did not believe me at first.  But that kind of changed when they saw me.  They are still growing.  It is pretty painful off and on.

I got to a near-A within a few months or so I guess, but then everything kinda just STOPPED there. I've made some progress since then, but it's nothing like that first burst of development.

Have any of you stopped growing... then spontaneously started again later on?

~Kate~

A cup in a few months is frequent.
The thing is an A cup is like 6-10 time less volume than a B cup,
so getting to A is much easier than getting to B, and C and so on.
Its a half sphere, the longer the projection, the bigger the volume to fill.
That's why people think they've stalled when in fact they're still growing, its just not as spectacular than 0 to something, its something to something more.

I've been on the "pill" for 7 months, I don't think they are growing that much. I am kind of disappointed. I don't even think i can fill an A cup.
