I'm not gonna get into the big story about how I was on hrt for 9 months, getting great results, stopped for 8 months, lost weight and all my progress and all that jazz... at least not in too much detail.  Anyway I'm back on and worried I stunted my results.  I'm at 9 months again.  I got breast buds at about 6-7 weeks on HRT, same as last time; then over 5-6 months they of course dissipated and I started getting a bit - a very small bit - of breast tissue, same as last time.  I basically have nothing.  Anyway the thing that sort of concerns me is that they aren't sore at all and haven't been for maybe a couple months now, while not really progressing in any visible way.  So I guess I'm asking, is your chest suppose to be sore throughout the entire growth process, or can you go a couple weeks or months with out any tenderness?  I'm pretty sure my chest was still sore at 9 months during my first run.  Is the fact that I don't really seem to be sore at all indicative of the fact that I may have now maxed out?  I hope my body hasn't said "no, this is you're end result, we have you at 18 months, not 9... remember before?"  I was hoping it would be like starting over.  Originally I started at about 150lbs and got to about 170lbs by month 9, when I lost weight after stopping I dropped down to the same weight and have gotten myself back up to 160lbs this time in the same duration.  Hopefully I just need to start eating more.  I am trying to get back up to that weight.  Maybe I shouldn't be asking...

Anyway, thanks in advance.  Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Soreness is personal. Some feel little or none, some go though great effort to avoid bumping the girls and others like me know they are going but only feel a little sensitivity. Growth can occur in cycles where the breast go to sleep for a while and then wake up again. In other words, it sounds like you are having a normal response.

Most people agree that 3 years of HRT is required to get you where you will be in the lingerie department. Breast tenderness comes and goes. That is not much of an indication of breast growth.

Be patient 3 years is a long time.

However, some girls seem to develop overnight. Remember, back in grade school, say 8th or 9th grade, when some girls returned in the fall with a much larger chest?  Not all of it was foam rubber.     

Itching is usually at least for me a better indicator.  Mine arent that big but geez louise they itch like crazy sometimes.  And God forbid I made the mistake of wearing a compression tank top yesterday.  Never again that was misery inducing.

I believe growth can extend over 3 years and that changes in dosages can sometimes spur a growth phase and finally growth is not linear. My soreness comes and goes and at 2 yrs plus, i am still growing.

I don't think they are ever done growing. Well changing anyway. Mine fluctuate depending on changes in my weight. If I get to intense with my dieting I loose some. My bf can always tell from how they feel if I have been dieting too much. And then if I gain a bit of weight they increase a bit.

I had only slight soreness from time to time, and I ended up at 38DDD (after around six years of growth). So you probably have time yet.

I'm a little odd in that I have been on spiro for 25 years and in those years I developed man boobs. Since starting with estrogen and after 9 months my breast has grown to "C" I still get occasional soreness. They have gotten rounder and more female than male. I have to be careful when walking down the stairs to not stare at them bouncing.

Mine are a C. I thought about implants but I don't really want them bigger. I would also be concerned with loss of sensation. Add to that that my bf likes the feel of natural boobs over implants and I am happy to stay with what I have.

Ironically I experienced an increase of sensation after getting implants! Before Breast Augmentation I always wondered how was possible that most of the girls were reporting so much sensitivity in breasts when mine's weren't that sensitive, but paradoxically, they got rather sensitive after BA.

I never got complaints about the implants feel, but I have to point that the touch feel is rather different from natural breasts.
