Can you link it, japple?

I was just there, although I've seen this page before. Very informative.

Very interesting website.

Thanks for that link.

Very informative. OK I'll go and see a plastic, but have any lady's had implants after 'little' growth. And how big can they big. I'd like to be a B-C. I have a 36" chest so I think I could carry  either B or C's might be too much?


Cindy

For myself, I think B's would be more than adequate. I had forms that gave me B's and I was more than happy. I have a 36" chest too, and C's are ample enough that I felt a little too conspicuous, if you know what I mean. That was my personal feeling though.

Thanks April, my current forms are I think a B.

I like attention but I don't want too look like a hooker (please before anyone blasts me, think). I'm sort of lost though between what looks good and what feels good. I suppose like lots of girls I would really like my boyfriend to go nuts.
And I know they like biggies. I feel like a trollop saying that. And  I'm not too sure why . I just want some attention. 

Cindy

"I just want some attention. "   Sounds like a fair thing to me!

In real measurements, not kilowhatsits, I am 6'3" and have a 42" chest, so they will have to be big enough to be in proportion. 
I will have to balance that against the need to avoid aggravating my back injury by having them too big though.
There seems to be some growth happening, so I will wait to see how big they get of their own accord.
Karen.

You are such a friend
I'm about 5' 8' weigh and  61 kilos ( notice the 1 ). I'm a little frightened of looking like an advert for a she male site ? I again do not mean that rudely. I just want to blend in. Oh well
I've got this far. Some days you cry. Damn hormones yet again.

Cindy

To tell the truth Cindy, my back would be a lot better if I was 5" shorter.
It's all a matter of leverage, long back with a large boob hanging off it is a lot of force on a little disc. Give me a long enough lever and I can stuff the world!

Oh Not another Newton?

I thank the powers that be for this!  Thing is Cindy, YOU are all the power you need. Other people can only add the toppings.


I'm a champ at mixed metaphors.

I think our mileage may vary, as always.

First, Tanner stages are -not- a set in stone thing. It means breast development, instead of size. In the link provided before there were a few pics of breasts I would consider tanner V but they were
classified in less developed stages because of their size, which is wrong.

All in all, I think we should not worry too much about this. Let's just live life as it is without overanalyzing.

My doc doesn't prescribe any progesterone but has me on depo provera (a synthetic) as an anti-androgen because spiro didn't work for me at all

Depo-Provera is medroxyprogesterone acetate, a progestogen. See Wikipedia.
Some here take oral medroxyprogesterone acetate as a "progesterone".

How do I know what size to put for the cup? My chest (not counting boobs) is 28" (Is that large?), but I seem to fit into 34A bras? How does the "34" make sense?

I did a little searching and found the answer.

Quote(#2)The first measurement to take is around your ribcage, just below your breasts. Now add 5 to this number to get your band size. If the resulting band size was an odd number, you will need to round up to the next even number since bra bands only come in even numbers.

Quote(#3)The second measurement should be taken around the fullest part of your bosom with your favorite bra on. This measurement is your cup size. Next subtract your band size from your cup size to calculate the right cup size.

Quote<1/2" larger than measurement #2--------------------AA
1" larger than measurement #2------------------------A
2" larger than measurement #2------------------------B
3" larger than measurement #2------------------------C
4" larger than measurement #2------------------------D
5" larger than measurement #2------------------------DD or E
6" larger than measurement #2------------------------DDD or F
7" larger than measurement #2------------------------G
8" larger than measurement #2------------------------H
9" larger than measurement #2------------------------I
10" larger than measurement #2-----------------------J

So let's say I measure myself. I can't because I have no tape, but let's imagine numbers. Let's say I measure my rib cage and I get 30". Then I add 5. 35. But since they
don't have odd numbers, let's add 1. 36. Then I measure my imaginary breasts. Let's say I get 37" on the tape. 37 - 36 = 1. A one-inch difference would give me
an A cup. -> The bra I would need to buy would be a 36A.

...Unless I'm mistaken and the "band size" that should be used is the direct measurement done in the first step, without the +5, +1? Well, this would make a huge
difference in calculations and you should know. (In my example, if I use the basic measurement, it gives a F-sized cup, which is... NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT.)

This is the way I learned how to do it. I don't understand adding 5 to the band size, unless that's a measuring formula for overseas sizing.

STEP 1: BAND SIZE

Measure under your arms, high on your back, across the top of your chest. If this measurement is an even number, this is your band size. If an odd number, add 1" to determine your band size.


STEP 2: CUP SIZE

Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Next, subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement; each inch represents a cup size. For example: if your band measurement is 34" and your bust measurement is 36", the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you'd wear a B-cup.

Less than 1"   AA
                1"    A
                2"    B
                3"    C
                4"    D
                5"   DD

I understand now, thanks

@ April... That's the method I generally use also    Another method that a GG showed me to figure cup size after you've measured your band size is to take a common ruler or measuring tape and place the end at the fold under your breast and see how many inches your nipple centers up at... It actually works out the same 

Are you sure, April? The site I linked to seems to be pretty formal about the +5 thing.

...Or perhaps it's only natural that the underarm measurement is typically 5 inches greater than the under-breast one.

I was just reading a post by A in a different topic in which she mentions "classic transsexual breasts" as being elongated and pointed sideways. Mine aren't particularly elongated (at least I don't think so), but are pointed sideways. During my transition (many years ago) I was only on E. I have never been prescribed progesterone.

I gather the lack of progesterone is was causes that breast shape? Can anyone expand on this (no pun intended)? I assume that after all this time (about 17 years post-SRS) it is too late to rectify (right?).

Yea, mine look totally wrong in shape and size and look pretty weird and not like female breasts.
