I have been on HRT for about three months and start anti-androgens next week. in the three months i have gone from a 36AA to between a 36 A/B.

I was really pleased at a comment the other day. I had an appointment to see about facial hair removal and the person thought I had had implants, well i don't know if that was a compliment but I said proudly, "nope all my own." How cool was that. I am near 50 than 40 so each person is different as as been said before in this thread.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but often in the first few months, your breast get big fast but in fact, most of it is the muscle (with the nipple on top). I know this from experience, by month 6 I was 36C but now 1.5 year later I'm 32C which is 4 times smaller in size, why, because the muscle behind the breasts deflated completely. Also, the breast shape makes a big difference, a 36C after 4 months is unlikely to be a half sphere, its certainly conical, which means that a full cup bra will fit very badly. Better a triangle bra, a stretcheable bar, or a balcony bra.

So, in short, until we've lost our muscles, and the breasts are mature (which takes years even for teen girls), cup size doesn't really tell the real final picture.

HAHAH!!! I am muscleless anyway!
I'm a skinny weakling! Some of it could be fat, in which case, win.

No win there, fat goes away as you get closer to the right weight for your body type.

I'm slightly confused...

Cause all this has done is make me gain fat. I've never had fat. Not even any. I dont have MUCH, but its better than nothing now. I severely doubt it will go back to nothing once things even out. I eat TONS now. I mean... My doctor at my last physical said I looked anorexic...


Caffeine is... Well... Hahahah...

I look and feel healthier, aside from the damn spiro crash. I'll be fine in a few days though. Its work I'm mostly worried about and its hazards. I count not being able to sleep on your front a success considering it hasn't been that long really. Its better than nothing. : )

Lets see if I understand this....

Prior to my HRT start (which was 8 months ago...yay me...you go girl) I had no visible fat
you could see my six pack abs. now I have small love handles and no more six pack my
stomach has a put on a little but not the male shape rounded like a beer belly, the only thing
I can compare it to is my 14 y/o who has the same shape.... only her hips put mine to shame.

so is my body building up to what it should be as female and then level out and distribute the fat
accordingly i.e. hips, butt, breasts, etc.... or should I do something to try to reduce the fat now?

Sorry...I don,t mean to be like....Hey what about me!
it is just the advice of all you lovely people have gotten me this far
I would still be struggling with how to begin this journey so...Thank you all for being here and caring.
I am very pleased so far with my results because of the expieriences of the people here that I have
followed advice on, so I put alot of faith into all your kind words.

If you're unsure of your boobs, let photobucket be the judge.
I can speak from first hand experiance on this.

1.  Post a picture of a man's bare chest on photobucket. --->

2.  Post a picture of YOUR bare chest on photobucket.

Sit back and wait about 1 day and see which one if any gets deleted by photobucket for a TOS violation.
If #2 gets deleted and replaced with one of their little violation pics like this,

Then you've got boobs.  If not, then you've got a ways to go yet. 

haha
that made me giggle

I started out a 32AAA.  After a year I was 32A.  After going on an off for a long time, I am now going to stay on HRT.  I never lost my breasts when not taking hormones.  It has been one month so I now will see how I end up.  I would love to be 32C.

That's a great question.  I think that it totally depends on the individual.  For me HRT was enough, I went from a 34 A to a 36 B in about six months, which is my desired size.  I would say however that if I wanted to go to a C cup, I'd more than likely have to get implants.

In reply to your question I have tried the herbal with some promissing results especially in the decreased hair growth and growth in my breasts. I have since switched to the overseas hormones for the last 6 months and I do see some improvement. In total I have been trying to increase my breast size for about 1 year and 3 months. I do understand that patience is the word of the day even as I fit into the catagory as being on th older side 57 and the wait is worth it. I am almost able to fill a 42 B size and will be one happy person when I completely fill it out.
