A cup, still not on hormones.. my mom looks at me funny quite a lot. They're just poking out, So I really don't notice them  However, others seem to.. mainly when my shirt gets pried off me.

Hey, i've been on HRT almost a year and i can barely fill an AA-cup! So unfair with people starting off with A or B cups!

ah ha ha! what? why would it get pried off?

Michelle, if you wish to formally introduce yourself, please go to Introductions and spill the beans. there is a kind fairy over there that might give you some free karma.

Clothing is deceiving.......in my pic it looks like I've got a fair bit of breast tissue but I'm fairly flat chested. The top is quite flattering and makes it lok like I have more than I actually have..

What are you a full A or B?
Honestly that is the most development many TS (and honestly GG too) get Berleigh.  If you were expecting something in the C to D range you were honestly setting yourself up for disappointment.  I know alot of transwomen who think they are flat chested at a B and it really makes me wonder what they are complaining about.  Its a dangerous self perception.

Honestly I have seen many photos of you, and I am trying to grasp your complaints, the reality is you are one of the best looking woman I have seen.  If anything your expectations for HRT may have been set too high.

Just about an A cup. I don't wear a bra as it's hard to find one small enough and If I do wear one it seems to look worse..

Thanks for the compliment Amy. I looked exactely the same before I started on HRT (I'll post some pre-HRT pics) and although I looked feminine facially long before HRT I still haven't been able to get any female fat distribution. You can hide a lot of it with clothes but I don't really have the right shape. My non T friends keep suggesting I go on HRT as I don't look any different to how I looked before to them..

Marks & Spencers is your friend if you're small.  They do a good range of AA cup bras (padded and unpadded) up to 36AA (though you'd probably have more luck using their website than in store).

figleaves also has a lot of AA-cups (up to 38AA).

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.

Of course that's assuming that they are perfect hemispheres--seldom the case--but if V = ⅔∙π∙r³ each breast would be:

A: 2 cubic inches, weighing 1 oz
B: 16.75 cubic inches, weighing 8.7 oz
C: 56.5 cubic inches, weighing 1.8 lbs
D: 134 cubic inches, weighing 4.35 lbs
DD: 261.67 cubic inches, weighing 8.5 lbs

Go to your local sporting goods store and pick up some hand weights.  It's no wonder DDs cause back problems.

I've already introduced myself, though I'm still fairly new around here. It would always get pried off during parties and that sort when the other "guys" would try to throw me into the pool.. I'm still not living as I wish to, but I strongly identify as a girl, even though socially I am still looked at as a man.

Are you from the U.K?

I can feel my boobs when i am trying to sleep on my tummy because now i can't do that much anymore since it hurts to press against my breasts. I love my breasts =0 I've been on hormones for 8 months now..

When I transition 20years ago I never was happy with my small boobs, after my SRS I found they didn't improve so I had saline implants which never felt right, 5years ago I went to South Africa and had them replaced by silicone which I found are firmer and more natural, Im now a 36D and I'v never looked back, its amazing what bigger boobs do for your posture and confidence, before I never felt confident wearing low necklines, nowdays I can wear tops in the past I could only dream about, when I go out with friends I love a low neckline to show off my cleavage, why hid your assets, men in particular do chat to my boobs lol, Im happy I went bigger, Im going to a friends 40th Birthday next week and bought a new outfit for it last Saturday, a below the knee black dress with shoulder bow straps with a very low neckline, it just about covers my nipples but my cleavage will be on display, its part of my femininity, my boobs are now part of me, they where expensive and worth all the effort, thats why I love showing them off, am I vain, I don't care, call it vanity, its made a big difference to me as a woman

Strangely enough, before HRT, I thought 36C would be big, but now, it doesn't really feel that big. Though when I look it the mirror they really stick out. Strange how a change of perspective changes things.

I wish.....after 7 years on hormones I'm almost reaching an A cup...
