Thanks for that. Sensitivity is obviously not your forte?

I'm sorry if you took that personally in some way, but it was not directed towards you.

I know that but after many years on HRT I wish I had a noticable bust. It's not easy when things are not working and others seem to be having a ball..

QuoteThe best part about boobs...

... is the effect they have on the opposite sex

I rather like the effect they have on other lesbians.

I for one can highly recommend Silicone gel implants under the muscle.  They look good and feel very natural or so I've been told.  GRS helped with my internal self image.  but BA was the icing on the cake.  Best $6K I've spent.

Oh Beni I am so envious. You must feel so 'right' now.
One day in the future maybe, but until circumstances change, I'll have to keep pretending

dont fret too much, I'm gay, BUT I think that small boobs are very sexy on a woman, even if they are hardly noticeable, think of keira knightly she is smoking!

keira knightly is about half my age and in the pic she still looks like she's got far more cleverage than I've got.

There are a lot of women who don't have breasts, NB.  For a lot of reasons, some genetic, some the surgery, some through accident.  But that is why they make breast forms.  And while it doesn't seem fair, it is an option.

I really do feel how you feel.  I never thought I would have a bustline, but it did happen.  Granted I am not as big as I would like, there is always a BA.  And that will make up for the lack of genetics that you weren't blessed with.

No offense mean, I hope no taken.
Hugs Naturally Blonde.

Thanks for the compliment Virginia. I don't have that much confidence in my appearance.

Can you scrape together enough money somehow for BA? Sell/trade down a car, refinance the home, get a loan, max out a CC (not recommended these days, but...), cash in vacation time?

Hi Janet and Marie, thanks for the messages. I'm not a fan of breast forms and wouldn't ever wear them. I did nearly go for BA surgery a couple of years ago but then decided to work on what I had a little more first. I want to be as organic as I can be in that department.

Quote from: Naturally Blonde on January 03, 2010, 06:22:02 PM
I did at one point a couple of years ago and had a silicon BA operation lined up. I changed my mind at the last minute as my friend has had a BA and her boobs are hard and un-natural looking. I thought I could continue working on my boobs with different medication to see if I can get any more improvement naturally before I go for the operation.

I hear ya. But it might come down to BA being the lesser of evils?

Mine stopped growing after a year or so. I barely made it to an A. If you read around, it seems most people get whatever they're gonna get from HRT after a year or two. After that, if you're not content, BA - even with it's less than perfect results - is the only option.

Mine (saline BA) aren't perfect. Or well, actually they're TOO perfect to seem totally natural. But for me, it's 100x better than what I (didn't) have before. I didn't want to be "in transition" any longer than I had to, so I just took care of the problem so I could move on with my life.

If you're truly miserable, sometimes ya just gotta bite the bullet, so to speak, and address the problem head on. No more waiting for perfect solutions, but do what you can with the resources available to you.

NB,

I have heard of certain herbal regimens that are supposed to yield pretty good success with breast development beyond what nature, hormones and such have delivered. I'm not advocating, recommending, or promoting this and not sure specifically what combinations work better/worse than others as I've not personally tried them (I'm still waiting to start HRT the right way), I'm just saying that I've seen people report that they have gained a little to a lot with these herbs. (not too sure about how organic it may be, but I would think that herbs would be about as close as you could get to it)

Just a random thought,

Deanna

BTW, I love your hair - wish mine would get growing that long. 

QuoteThe best part about boobs...

Their shape.  Their size.  I don't think I'd be comfortable with very large breasts & whilst I agree that they make you feel feminine, personally I feel feminine no matter what I do, because there are things about being a girl that just having big boobs.

mine only grrew to A cup after four years on estrogen and spiro so I had the implants...under the muscle...the muscle make a different shape to the natural boobs that are juts growing in soft flesh...I have t keep mine soft and free by massage. 
They look pretty good and a get 38C bras.

I have tried herbals before and I'm fairly skeptical.

Thanks hon. The pic is about three years old. I've always had long hair throughout my life and never had short hair. It's also a bit longer than it is in the pic at the moment.

I used to be really obsessed with boobs and filling out a bra was a real lift for me. Holding them in the shower is pleasant now but also immensely frustrating. Being a married late transitioner with a spouse who finds sex with women nauseating, I'll never have the experience of someone else touching or fondling them. That gets next to me almost daily, so I try not to think about even having breasts, which is quite a turnaround from the many many years I craved to have them.

Maggie, it tends to almost be a truism that we only get what we really want once its too late to use it, or after we don't care anymore.
