I've seen other places online that people mention that they find that their breasts (for MTF) tend to grow more after the 2nd year, up to 10 years (similar to CIS women's breast groth), but the studies that have been done by the medical professionals tend to cut off at the 24 month mark, and don't measure anything past. So this might be my first of a few pro measurements over the next few years.
I've like to get a push-up bra as well, however, my band size seems to be in the 48-54 range, and from what I've seen online, push up bra's in those sizes are hard to get.
In my experience, the breast growth timeline makes assumptions that are rarely true.
They say breast growth starts at about six months into HRT and then maximum growth is achieved around 24 months. This assumes that your hormone levels are where they need to be for your body that entire time.
Yes, I did start some breast growth at six months. It was minuscule. I had numerous issues getting my hormones into the female range, so growth was very slow. After four years of trying various dose increases, different brands, and switching from oral to patches to injections, I finally got my estradiol AND progesterone to the correct levels. Many providers do not prescribe progesterone, or only prescribe it for once a day. This is wrong.
But now, at five years on HRT with the correct hormone levels, they have started growing again. So now I am hopeful that my transition can finally begin now that they are done playing games.
