Breast size

[Stottie Girl]

I had a bit of gynecomastia to start with, possibly as a result of mild androgen insensitivity.  (I've not been geneticaly tested, but per my GP, I fit the clinical criteria.)  If that's the case, I had a prediposition and didn't even know it until I started.

That's my working theory too. That or there was a dip in testosterone at key stages in the womb. I have skeletal differences like wide hips and sit bones and a resulting high Q angle, female elbow carry angle (linked to hip width). The index finger longer than the ring finger is also a sign apparently, close set breasts, likely higher than average estrogen receptors in the chest (like you) etc.

You can tell I've been trying too hard to find a reason ha ha

Truth is doing an expensive genetic test wouldn't actually change anything, it doesn't really matter so I would put the test money to better use frankly.

I would prefer mine grow a bit more but I am grateful for what I have.

I've said it many times before Chrissy, smaller boobs have the advantage in many ways. I have to buy bras in specialist shops. You can walk into high street chains. I have to avoid certain types of clothing (no button up tops or blouses for me!) whereas you can pretty much wear anything you like.

I'm 5' 10 1/2", 170 pounds and was completely and utterly flat when I started HRT in the second half of my 50s. Lots of people say that people who start late don't get good development.

Edit: I'm a 36D

They don't half look bigger than a D cup Courtney I must say. I know you went for a fitting at Victoria's secret but high street shops are notorious for not being able to cater to larger sizes. Do you have shops like Bravissimo over there? They specialise in "larger" ladies. A fitting with them might surprise you.

Oh my, it's been awhile since we've seen the finger ratio come up. It's fun... I guess, if you find precision measurements of body parts engaging. But there's a ton of overlap and it doesn't amount to a very big hill of beans at the end of the day.

True, on it's own it doesn't mean much but taken as an accumulation of other factors it could become relevant. Like I say, I was searching for reasons why I am what I am as many of us do. Naturally these things do come up but in the grand sceme of things it doesn't make any difference. It is mere curiosity, it has no real bearing on anything.

In truth, it is just as likely that genetic randomness is at work rather than underlying conditions. It would have been nice to have an answer but it's not worth expending a lot of funds to find out, there are so many other things worth spending your money on.

It does seem that I'm on my way a DD or perhaps there already, as I've grown a bit since that sizing at Victoria's Secret. But it depends on the bra. Bravissimo doesn't have a physical presence here but it looks like I can request a virtual fitting and still order online. I'd considered a smaller specialty bra shop here but was concerned about encountering a transphobe.

I am jealous 48 a here and no nipple growth at all.

That is me so far. With my chest consisting of skin over bone at age 64, I'm not expecting much. That  is why God created breast forms

I'm not sure age is quite as important as we are led to believe in all honesty. On paper starting mid to late 40s should mean I had minimal growth but it's not been the case. I do think that having weight does help them while they are growing though but I wouldn't recommend being larger if you can help it!

I'm not sure there is any way to tell where you will end up. You just take the pills and wait for the results! Might be big, might be small but they will all be beautiful.

There is certainly no reason to be disapointed with smaller boobs, there are a fair few negatives to having larger boobs and not many negatives for more modest boobs as far as I can see.

Seriously-- be careful what you wish for. There are few things worse than boob sweat (or trying to get that gosh darn sports bra off after 40 miles on a bike in the heat).

While I decline to offer my exact size, I will share my instructions to the surgeon who did my breast augmentation-- "I want to be proportional, not need a new zip code". Zip code is a postal code for non-US readers. He nailed it. For bonus points I will share that I paid off the balance of my BA with a capital one credit card. They really do mean cash back on anything.

Very nice development!

Internet says: For the first time ever, breast reduction surgeries outpace augmentation procedures.

[ChrissyRyan]

I am not going to signup for breast reduction at this time.

I would never opt for reduction personally but I can totally understand why someone would.

Up next: trout pout and tarantula lashes reductions. I hope. 🤣

Why are we talking about fish and spiders?  Ha

Remember the old commercial?

"Burgers and fries, fish and fries"

Same idea, just modernized ingredients.

I've had my share of boob sweat - a lot of it. I've had times when my bra was soaked with sweat and I was tied up for a few minutes because I couldn't get it off. I've already experienced some neck and back ache from the new weight I carry around. I've bumped them into doorways, shower doors, and even the underside of a car.

I adore them and wouldn't change a thing, except maybe to have them slightly bigger.

I have bumped mine into some things.  Mine are small though.

I was beating some eggs this morning and the whole bra-encased assembly started rocking back and forth, distracting me, and I thought "This is right. This is what I dreamed about."

I sometimes find it so odd that many trans men, non-binary people and cis women would want to have their breasts removed. Then I think about it and realize "Oh, they're exactly like me! They're just trying to find their way to the type of body that makes sense to their brain; it just happens to be the opposite of the configuration that I want."
