I'm sure your face looks fine :-) 
and the abs seem to be coming along nicely

5 months in on E and T-block and my endocrinologist was absolutely amazed by my rapid growth. I'm a small A... 5'4" 140lbs .. I honestly think I'm borderline at whether or not I can go out with a shirt on or not.

I'm not saying this to brag, I'm just saying this as a way of saying be patient

Some girls have lots of facial changes, others have a lot of breast growth. Sometimes you have a lot of breast growth early on and then it stops. Sometimes it takes a while for the changes to add up.

There is always a lot of things happening though.

MyKa,
     Nice photo! Daily crunches and work on abs and lats is essential when you're on estrogen, otherwise the little fem tummy that comes from female hormones begins to become a problem. Ab and lat exercises creates a lot of nice definition below the breasts and accentuates them all the more. Most MtF's intrinsically have wider and thicker waist lines than their born counterparts, so anyone wanting to look good in their clothes needs to stay on top of it. I have worked hard at the gym for several years on this along with a low fat diet, and still the only resolution in sight to be totally rid of "love handles" is an eventual lipo job.

For every woman its different... we all react differently to the hormones.. even g-girls develop at different paces.

For me, I was lucky.. My chest reacted quickly to hormones pumping through my body.

14 months on HRT, and I have C cup breasts...

I love it when they giggle when I walk

I'm on day 80 of just spiro and estradiol, and I have a very significant amount of fat on my chest

However, no breast buds as of yet, although, feeling a sort of void behind the nipple, and strangely I lactated once (to my knowledge) very early on, like day 20-25.

A feeling of weight is very apparent, and has been for some time now, but I did posess some fairly large pectoral muscles that have defiantly been reduced, possibly contributing to the feeling/look of growth of my breasticles. If I put on a slightly small(bust) B padded bra I fill the padded cup almost perfectly, and with growth staying on the same track, will fill the cup entirely in about 2-3 weeks = ) , but my mother, 1 sister, and niece, closest genetic relatives, have gigantic breasts so I think I will come out a head...and before you curse me for good genetics, even the females in my family have dark body(arm and leg) hair.

With hormones you win some, you lose some, apparently...I'm 22, so I assume the younger you start the closer you get to what you would have had, the key factor to me "rushing" HRT(Rx by an endo w/ a letter).

After years and years of HRT I am at about a Tanner 3ish to 4ish on Sipro and E



Summer of 2011

I was going to start a new thread about this, but this one is labeled as "questions about breasts", so here goes.

Anyone get "phantom" breast/nipple/chest pain?

Like when you are reminded about chests either seeing a woman's chest or seeing a guys chest start feeling the ache of new growth in yours. I have a feeling some of it my head, but to what extent I don't know.

Don't get me wrong my chest aches "for real" randomly(middle of the night, driving ect) but I think that there is some constant discomfort that your brain only let's through when you think about it...thoughts/experience?


BTW

Cyndi, I love how genuinely feminine you look, even/especially with all the muscles! Would just figure you were a super buff chicka.

Nice tummy Cyndi, Got some of those abs too that's what I'm talking up here. It looks very healthy!

A few more months and I'll probably have some bigger boobage, where I might actually need to go out and get a bra.
three months already, and I have an appointment with Dr. Redenbach, I think that is an awesome name.

I thought I'd throw in my two cents with all this talk of how boobs grow.  Here's my boob story: I was taking spiro and a DHT inhibitor for about a year before I started on estradiol.  The spiro was a low dose, just to keep maleness in check.  During that time, my boobs got very tender to the touch - my daughter accidentally elbowed me in the nipple once and it about sent me through the roof!  I never really noticed growth during this period, however.  Then for about two months, I decreased the spiro a bit.  Didn't notice any changes in the boob department.  Then I started full HRT.  So far, I have not had any pain or tenderness like when on antiandrogens alone.  The girls are certainly blossoming - I can fill out a padded B fine.  I'm confident that I'll hit a full B or maybe even a small C when second puberty is over.  The moral of the story - your girls are gunna do what they want to do and they won't tell you what's on their minds until they've done it.

That's just soooooo true. It's easier to predict the stock market, than those cute little things.   

Enjoy   

Lotsa huggs

Thank You, crazy hard work.....

Mtf transsexuals need to have a daily physical workout to keep the man-gut belly from outing you and having good definition. I've been on HRT since 1996 but quit half way through transition for family reasons and self identify as androgynous. Still I am always good for supportive and positive input for transitioners . I posted a body shot of me in a tank top for the sake of this thread. It takes a lot of work like Cyndi said!

Breast growth is always weird. Myself... I have been on hormones for fourteen months and have seen less than half a padded A bra in development so far. I might as well not have any - my pre-HRT girlfriend has bigger breasts (just fat in the area), and I didn't even get any of the pain or pleasurable sensation.

At least implants exist for the cosmetic part of it... shame about the sensation part though.

I really like my boobs.

Jay loves them too.

That is all.
