You are pretty lucky so far.
I am still sat here with Missery beans :/
I'm too worried, patience and all that.
Filling an A and I would be happy. Or if I manage a B that would be more than enough :3
I hoooopppee

Thank yo for your praise Devlyn, but I'm not a veteran. I was in the army when I was younger but never fought in any wars (luckily). I was just a naive teenager and didn't know what to do with myself after high school. I was still trying to fit the "manly mold" and thought it a good way to prove my manhood. I don't regret the experience, but the military was clearly not for me, nor being a man, as it turns out.

  Lexi,
   I beg to differ. If you entered the service for your country and served your time, then you are in fact a veteran. Though you did not service in any actions, you did your time and serviced your country. Because of that you are a veteran. As such I also thank you for your service.

  I too am a veteran, I enlisted in the US Navy and served six years as a data systems technician. I was in "A" school when we started to bring out troops home from Vietnam. Because of that I am a Vietnam Era Veteran though I was never there. I am not a Vietnam Vet, That distinction is reserved for those that actually were there.
  I enlisted to obtain the computer training and was lucky enough to get it. I discovered during my enlistment that the Navy was not my cup of tea and chose not to reenlist.  I am proud of my service and more proud of my dad's 30 years service to our country.

  So Lexi as one veteran to another I salute you.

  Hugs,
   Jeanette

If only we could barter I'd give up a significant amount of my breast size for your very lovely face.

Haha thanks Robyn, it's mostly makeup good lighting and nice hair :')
But yes if there was a way to swap bodies with the FTMs, like we transfer our brains into ther body and ther into ours. Then we would be happy no hassle :')

Thank you Jeanatte. You are very kind. I guess I just never have felt like a vet.

You look gorgeous in your picture!
(I'd put a picture on my account but I don't see an option for it anywhere)

Don't sweat the small booby stuff yet. You're only 7 months into HRT.
I too am 7 months into my HRT, but I jumped started my breasts before HRT, with the herb *forbidden topic on this board*.   

I have a good friend that is about 7 months on hers as well, and she's just starting to get hers. Everyone's genes are different, but I think you're right about where you should be.

You are a veteran.  Go to the VA and sign up for care, it really helps.  That is where I am getting my transitioning care.  I'm trying to save for the hair removal as that is something not covered.

If you were honorably discharged with at least 90 days of active duty you would qualify for VA care. War time service is not required and care is not limited to service connected issues either.

Male bodies tend to have larger Latissimus Dorsi muscles, so if one has gone past the age of 25 before starting HRT chances are that the bust measurement vs. the under-bust will be 1 to 2 inches or more larger. So when using these calculators one needs to adjust the cup size down by one or two sizes as the muscles are accounting for the size difference more than the actual breast over cisgender women. So if the calculator says a size 38c for a snug fit or a 40b for a less snug fit, one should try going down a cup size respectively (38b - 40a). This may be even more pronounced for those who are overweight or have done extensive muscle building in the past.

This is great!
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
It makes much more sense now.
