What size did you end up after hrt and how long did they keep growing for??

No growth for about two years on HRT, then a year of growth. Ended up size AA. No real growth since then.
For me age was probably a factor. You are young and still quite early on in HRT so I wouldn't give up on more growth to come.

I know there's no clear cut answer but estimates and anecdotal experiences was what I was looking for

This might help a little but, take everything you read with a BIG pinch of salt... Nobody can answer this question. Just see what happens, be patient. Don't be unrealistic. don't be pessimistic, don't be optimistic... Be like water.... I'm so zen lol.

Hi Annabolton;
I have been on HRT (low dosage) for 2 years and I have 44B in Breast size. It took about 14 months to reach 44A Cup and most growth has been in the last 6-8 months. They are still growing. They also don't grow at the same time. Today my right breast is particularly painful and itching. Last week it was my left breast. Another thing was I looked seriously into getting Breast Augmentation in November last year. I have been looking at Dr Kim in Los Angeles
see (http://psaoc.com/photo-gallery/case-45010/). I just love his work or a local surgeon in Australia - Andrew Ives, but after advice from Cis girlfriends and close female relatives they all advised men to wait for at least 4 years to go past before really considering it. I am glad I did s I have already added a full Cup size. My mother by the way was DDD sixze. I also have two cousins on my mothers side of the family with EE size breasts and my grandmother was apparently DD too. But various TG girlfriends and CIS girlfriends all advised me to be patient and wait longer. I did and I am a B Cup and still growing!

Ideally I would like C or D Cup, but well rounded.

So my advice is be patient. One smart move I did though was to invest in a pair of really good AMOENA silicon breast forms (normally supplied to cancer mastectomy patients. They are a bit pricey, but look very real with natural feel and shape and bounce). Mind you now that I am a B Cup I have had to get bigger size in Bras - I am generally now wearing Padded B Cup bras without the AMOENA Inserts or C Cup bras with them.
The important ting about using the Amoena  breast forms is that they move just as real breasts would and really help at making one pass (especially if you are wearing a well fitting bra (I like Mark & Spencer Underwire cotton bras).

There are growth periods where this isn't any pain at all and sometimes there is, it's not always going to be constant. Just because they don't hurt doesn't mean they aren't maturing. There isn't really any after hrt since we're on it for the rest of lives. From everything I've read changes can still happen at 5+ years. No one can tell you what your final size will be.

I wouldn't worry so much about cup sizes either since they're are super relative for example I'm a 32b but that's the equivalent of a 34a in cup volume. What I worried about the most when I first started hrt was my breast maturity. I felt really odd having pubescent boobs and was so ready for them to get past those early stages asap. I knew I wasn't going to have huge boobs either since the women in my family have small busts.

I'm like a week away from my 3 year mark and they're pretty full/matured. I notice when I gain weight they become a bit fuller. So yeah Idk what my cup size might be in two years from now if I continue to gain weight. I know mine aren't done growing at all yet either cause they're still pushing through into the final stage of growth. I think once that's over, my growth will level off. I've been documenting my progress with the tanner stages. My doctor said I was at stage 4 and I don't think I'll reach the last stage until I get grs.

Mine have grown to a 36b in about a year of estrogen, I went onto an anti androgen at the end of last month and that has made a slight difference but nothing huge. They still feel tender to the touch and it wakes me up if I roll over onto them in the night.

Hrt only gave me mild changes up until recently, entering my second year, when I've started getting more fat redistribution. I know a woman who says she got virtually no breast growth for years until after Srs when they finally started to grow. So it really is different for everyone.

The good news is that you have a lot going for you besides boobs. And if they don't grow, well you never know where you'll be financially in five years. 

As quite a few people have mentioned genetics play a major part as to how much you will receive, certainly for gland development. Diet can also play a part too as breasts are also composed of fat.

Breasts don't grow linear during your time on HRT. I had an initial burst of growth in the first few months to a 36A cup and then a very slow fill out to a 36B in the following six months after. After losing muscle I went down to a 34 band and the corresponding sister size of 34C. The breasts have once again been growing and are now both a small 34D in the last couple of months. I'm currently almost 17 months on HRT.

I have to mention I've also stopped dieting since January and have just been pigging out on all sorts of junk putting back on 4kg or about 9lb. Some of it has gone to my hips and some to my boobs.

Female puberty can be a long and gradual process; and even for cis women can take up to 10 years for any significant breast growth.

that is almost unbelievably fast growth. Are you getting stretch marks?

Sadly, yes.

But I had a little bit of moobs before so that helps.

I have mixed feelings about BA. I don't like foreign objects or substances in my body...

So do I. But I also have mixed feelings about having very small breast...





The fact is very few trans women have the luck to develop nicely shaped C-cups (for example) while having healthy body fat percentage.

I dont think you need a c cup to feel feminine, I see it a lot as a standard writing here by trans women, I am probably not getting a c cup, my mom as a d cup but she had children, and your boobs grow when you are pregnant, and my sister who is 2 years older than be has a 32b i think, so I will probably get there, on ther other hand all the girls in my family have wide hips, so maybe I will get luckier there.

Usually it's just genetics but it also takes a long time!
And for people that don't want foreign object or substance in their body like me, I heard some people get their own fat injected in the boobs too, so maybe that's an option for someone to look at. I am not sure how it works or about the results tho...

There is stem cell treatment for BA now. Maybe that is an option.

As for cup size don't get hung up on it. Proportion is the key. I know very sexy cis women even with A cups and not so attractive ones with D cups. I really don't like the look of overly big fake boobs. Nicely proportioned ones to match your shape and size definitely.

There's a site by Andrea Lynn with photos and a timeline as well as her hormone regime. Google it. This is the best I have come up with and I ran across this a few years ago.

Every woman's breasts develop differently, it doesn't really matter whether cis or trans, just as some folks are taller or shorter some are going to be larger or smaller,
I happened to end up with a 38C

if you're talking to me,  no. Basically i had a severe case of gynecomastia, but the good side is that while im loosing a lot of weight, my breast are getting  a lot more perkier, firm and round. 

It's funny to realized that when i was a boy a was super ashamed of having boob, now I m like super grateful with god for my genetics.

Thumbs up for us gynecomastia girls! I remember the shame well. Actually, for me it was fear. My chest hurt and I didn't know why! Glad now of course. So many things about my body I was disturbed by,but they all fit in now. 

Getting decent growth and I'm in no hurry, plus, I saw a woman on Jeopardy last night who had the same breast positioning I do. If I look half that good I'll be pleased.

In keeping with the thread, six months, large B or small C. Not rounded yet. Sounds large, but on a 42" chest? Pfft!

its all about genetics as mentioned before..


I was a 36D after 24 months of HRT... After month 1 I was an A cup.. a B cup came I think about 3 to 4 month.. then C by 12 months.. then almost no growth... and I lost a band size during as well during my trip. I am happy with my size... 36D... Maybe when I am older and things start sagging I will go and have things perked up and then go up to DD. 

the rule saying expect 1 to 2 cups smaller than the woman in your family.. well me it did not apply.. I technically bigger than my mom.. she wears 34D bra.. My mother says her grandmother had huge breasts... she thinks a DDD.. so maybe I inherited those.. as I did get must of my features from my mother.. I saw a picture of my mother the other day when she was around my age.. and we look a like twins lol... we have the exact same body type.

I've been on estrogen for just under a year... eleven and a half months to be exact... I've been on e with anti androgens for eight months and ive been on e and AA's and micronized progesterone all at much higher dosages than before for about three months... I have an a cup at the most and it would be considered a small underdeveloped a cup im sure... my question is how long do breasts take to grow for trans women? do I still have a chance at ending up at least a small b? I haven't noticed any noticeable growth in the past couple months and im getting worried... theres no way I can afford a breast augmentation anytime soon... maybe six months from now ill have a job and that will be different. im nineteen and started at eighteen if that helps and my mom is a large C... also I don't know if this is allowed but is there any site which shows a lot of trans womans breast growth so I can see what to expect? What size did you end up after hrt and how long did they keep growing for??

I think your question has been answered consistently throughout the thread.

Everyone is different, but generally it takes several years (think 3-5 years) of HRT to develop whatever genetics and luck will provide.  (In my case after 3+ years HRT I fill out a "B" cup nicely. I do have a 48" band size; physically the Girls are about the size of a baseball, and very arousing to the touch.)

Are you not happy with hearing this?
