Quote from: Stottie Girl on August 02, 2026, 06:37:15 AMWell I can understand it Charlotte and I do have sympathy with the dillema. Whilst my growth has been fairly consistant I think it is far more common for it to be in growth spurts with large gaps inbetween. This is totally normal for CIS girls too. Sometimes they start growing in their teens or preteens and don't mature until their twenties. That's often linked to hormone cycles I think. If your hormone range is up and down a bit because of chopping and changing meds it might cause this too but I think it is still normal for it to happen anyway.

It is hard to make the decision as it is entirely possible that you get to the 3 year mark and you have not had the growth you wanted, you would then be looking back and saying damn you Sarah! But if you do get the growth you will have saved thousands of pounds and gotten a much more natural look.

Regarding the breast root gap. A wide set is quite normal for CIS girls as well as trans girls. My root gap is just under an inch, apparently that is into close set territory but at times it doesn't feel like it to me because of my current band size. I do not have any issues getting cleavage though, I can see why that would upset you. I'm not entirely sure a boob job fixes root gap mind.

A 38" chest is not a broad chest for year 1 Charlotte. How heavy are you? I know you should never ask a lady that! If you factor in muscle loss and weight loss you could easily end up at 34 or maybe 32 you know. The smaller the band the more prominant the boobs will look. Atrophy does take years though.

I forgot to ask the other day - you mention root gap - is that the gap between them and where measured from and to? Oh and my weight is 84Kg as managed to put on 0.5Kg!

I'm curious too. I've never heard
of root gap. But I've been here long
enough to understand that trans
people will measure absolutely
anything (get your minds out of
the gutter! 😂 ) and obsess over it.

Root gap is where your upper breast attaches to the chest wall. In simple terms a two finger gap and below is close set, 3 fingers and above is wide set. Wide set boobs are maybe more common on trans women due to them often having a broader chest. You tend to get east west pointing boobs too though not always. A wider root gap often means it's harder to get cleavage (assuming good growth) and it can affect what sort of bra styles are best for your shape or what sort of bras are best to get the cleavage effect (ie pushup).

Plenty of CIS women are wide set also, It doesn't mean anything other than it affecting clothing choices really. I don't think there is anything you can do anything about it, it's just how your body is or isn't. You often see this affect with boob implants where the large spherical implants are spaced further apart.

Dev, I don't appreciate being mocked about this sort of stuff, this is twice you have done it to me now. You might think it futile and pointless to measure your body but that is your opinion, an opinion I do not share. I have found body measurements very useful to help guide my bra and other fashion choices as well as track weight loss and body changes, others may be interested for their own reasons. If you think the whole thing is silly maybe don't comment and just s->-bleeped-<- in private.

Ahhh okies thanks so that means its messured at upper breast then? If its the gap inbetween the base of each breast thats over 4 fingers wide.  I can nearly get my hand in the gap. Measured higher then its even wider! Could be tough!

Yes but yours are nowhere near fully developed yet Charlotte. I am talking about fully developed boobs. I had a wide gap when I started out, everyone does I think.

Okies so hopefully the base might get wider and close the gap. Hope so as would help a lot!

I apologize that you think I'm mocking you. I assure you that I wasn't.

We had a great time in the Humor subforum several years ago with this thread. A couple of people felt it was inappropriate, but as you can see, they were vastly outnumbered. Laughing at ourselves is great for stress relief. 🙂

Fair enough Dev, no harm done, just bothered me a bit. We're all friends still!😄

I'm going to try and be more positive about myself, and not ashamed to asert some self love. I felt cute in today's outfit at work. I love that top and little shorts covered in little gems

Running club cancelled because its too hot, but didn't stop me doing 5k in 33 minutes despite the heat. Now I'm totally damp! Today has been good despite starting the day in tears.

Dear Charlotte:
I loved your positive posting ... and you wearing
your Running Outfit is undeniably feminine.

Oh yeah, when it is that hot running or jogging is
certainly a test in your determination.
11 minute miles is good even in cooler temps.

Go back home, keep hydrated, and get a nice cool shower.

Thank you sharing.

HUGS, Danielle

I love that top! The one in your profile pic. The running outfit is cute too.

Be careful running in the heat. It can be deadly.

Bummer Charlotte. I hope it eases as the day goes on. I have awoken with a headache too though mine was self inflicted!

Did you hydrate after that big run?

That was my thought, you need lots of fluid after.

I always hydrate. More than ever.  I think its sinus related again as blood blowing my nose. Age old problem for me.

Well I've been contacted regards getting the DBT treatment I need which is good. The bad news is it'll likely be end of this year start of next before I can start. So I've got to continue as I am until then.

I think I'm going to need to privately appoint my therapist when the Birmingham LGBT funded ones run out in 8 weeks.

Also working to get an ADHD diagnosis and find my area caps the right to choose funding so that will also take months. So I pay £1400+ tax plus I think about £400 National insurance to be thrown on waiting lists for my gender care and mental health care. Honestly feel totally screwed by this system. I'm just a cash cow to the government.

You are not alone I pay out of pocket for my therapist too. I also have to pay for FOLX and the Clinician since my health insurance doesn't cover it. And I plan to start electrolysis soon too so that is even more money I have to pay.

I don't mind paying a normal therapist, but DBT is specialised so costs around £130 a session.  So more than £500 a month. That's when im already paying higher tax than nearly 90% of the UK and we have a supposed free health system.
