Odd question but curious to know what it feels like to suddenly go from being flat chested to having breasts through taking hormones? I asked one girl and her response was 'they get in the way'  Thinking more about physical feeling rather than emotional impact.

Well, it's not sudden or dramatic. In my case over six months I've gone from "moobs" to a 34B,  not terribly large, but noticeable (barely) under tight clothing.

There's been soreness, and  I can't sleep on my stomach any more. I have to be much more careful picking up large objects. In spite of all that, it feels right. I feel correct somehow, like this is how I am supposed to be.

It feels right.

Hi Christine,
For me the nipples initially became very sore and sensitive. Then, as they started to grow and get softer they bounced when you walked fast, up and down stairs or ran. Now when stimulated they feel like they are directly connected with my genitals. It's strange when you are sleeping lying on your side and you wake up and see cleavage. They lose nearly all hair as well thank goodness.

I always dreamt about having breasts pre HRT and now that I have them I mostly don't even think about them until I run into something...lol

As Michelle said, it just feels right - like there was always something missing and I didn't know what

Hugs
Jessica

Sounds like my experience except the hairs are still there. But not that much as it used to be, after one year HRT.

Have you waxed or did they go away on their own?

I don't have a lot of breast growth, but what is there just feels 'right'.

Once on HRT -
Physically
11 days - nipples sensitive
3 weeks - definite lump
almost 2 months -
* I notice they bounce going down stairs. 
* I'm not wearing a bra yet, but that day is approaching. 
* The nipples are still sore.
* I see them without a shirt on.  On one else would with clothes on.

Mentally
A dream come true
I rarely (2-3 times per day) think about them, usually when I get a chill.
Calming and terrifying at the same time (mostly calming)
Did I mention - they are a dream come true?
While at the gym (lots to compare) I wonder what the final shape/size/... will be where for 50 years I would just cry inside about not having them.  That was the biggest trigger for my dysphoria and IT'S GONE!

P.S.
Every time I hear about an FtM having top surgery I weep inside.  I understand it, but I still weep a little.  (I know I'm not the only one on this!)

Guuurl if it were possible I would give you my breast tissue fat in a heartbeat


Ditto on the bottom for you, hahaha :v

to Wolf Night; a tissue exchange bank seems so logical eh?

For someone who felt i really was a girl all my life it is simply a sensuous dream come true.  I didn't believe it could happen for me but the lovely proof is revealed by glancing down, my vision in a mirror or squeezing myself good morning.  Size matters little to me but being real is yuuge

I purchased breast forms long ago but found that only worsened my feeling of being fake even if it helped to fill out a blouse.

I have always had breasts and they have always been an erogenous zone and symbol for me even if somewhat underdeveloped.  I dreamed of being a mom and nursing my babies.  I had a minor degree of gynecomastia as a young adult and loved it when people noticed my little tits.  They are an essential part of my transition and learning curve as they actually affect balance, posture, clothing and so much more.  American culture equates breasts with sexuality and that conflation also comes with occasionally unwanted attention or worse.

I am happy to be pushing a b cup and find this size allows me greater freedom to go braless without exaggeration.  Having breasts is exquisite in my intimate world and a wonderful sensation every single day.  Love the bounce and i love the handfuls of joy that help my body to finally feel right and normal.

...to suddenly go from being flat chested to having breasts through taking hormones...

It usually takes between 18-24 months to fully develop breasts using HRT so you have plenty of time to get used to them...just like with teen cis girls going through puberty. So it isn't all that sudden, there's a lot of change that goes on and they will be very sensitive/painful for the first 6-12 months as they bud and start to grow (beware of random bear hugs, doorways and leaping kittens/puppies).

As others note, they feel right. Most of the time I'm not even aware of them.

I still notice mine and its been quite a long time. They make me happy, and I'm pretty sure I smile every time.

Its a very very different experience to being male.

If I grew a size each time I prayed for breasts they would be size HHH. Breasts are a visible indication of how far we are willing to go, to achieve our real identities. Breasts just announce it to the world. They weigh about a pound and a half YMMV. Bounce a little when we walk. The breasts themselves have little sensation. But the nipples, oh my God the nipples. And when I take off my sweatshirt because I am not ready to go public yet. I want electrolysis done. I get a sense of accomplishment and joy that nothing compares too except the birth of my children. I know comparing boobs to children, go figure. But really, my children were the result of dealing with the cards (genitals) I was dealt. Breasts on the other hand are a celebration of the person I was destined to be as my brain developed on female hormones.

It feels really really good, as others have said, my boobs now feel directly wired to my vagina and where I tried for years to enjoy breast stimulation before HRT, in my case there was never anything special there before estrogen.

Uhh... so much to look forward too... Can't wait... For me breast forms actually help. They bounce so nicely...

If I would take the entire 2 year supply of Estradiol in 2 weeks, would I have a C-Cup by the end of January?

Hi Thessa,

Most of the hairs went away on their own, especially when I started Progesterone in the 2nd year of HRT! I think because it lowers T even more and has a strong effect on the breasts!
I was always less hairy, compared with other AMAB's anyway, but I used to use herbal products to reduce T and improve E which helped with my disphoria years ago before it was understood and medical HRT was generally prescribed.

Hi Sarah,

I so know what you mean! I would have done anything to get them straight away, besides surgery. The best way I found to think of it was to remember that saying, "a long journey starts with the first step", so we need to remember we will get there if we look after ourselves health wise and make sure we do all that we have been instructed by our Endocrinologists. My endo and I have found that keeping Testosterone low and adding Progesterone helped my breasts grow, as well as Estrogen.

I have also found as we age, supporting the HGH (Human Growth Hormone) and IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) in our system helps our breasts grow even more when on HRT, as these are both very high in teenage girls (even higher than teenage boys) when they are developing their breasts. We can never get to these teenage levels, but we can help and support our system through exercise (especially HIIT - High Intensity Impact Training, which is not easy but any exercise is good), eating well and supplements that are available from any vitamin/exercise supplement store or similar website store.

Good luck with you journey!   

I would like to have size "C" breasts.

I have c-cup breasts, without implant surgery. The only time I really think of them is when putting my bra on, taking it off, or when my husband is holding them while in bed. It just feels like I should have always had them.

Hopefully it's not exactly like I would imagine, because I feel like I would just want to hold on to them literally all the time, like I'm afraid they'll go away or something.  And as comforting as that could be, it would be very unproductive!  lol

Hi Amanda,

Too funny.....! You reminded me of when I walk around the house late at night naked (not like I do this all the time just toilet visit or to get a glass of water) and hold my breasts to stop them bouncing. Sometimes I don't want to let them go, very comforting! LOL
