Like just about everyone else when they first get started on Hormones I have been keeping track of my development. Almost obsessively, but not quite in my case as I have seen and read the wise words of others about breast growth and keep my expectations realist.
My therapist has complimented me on how realistic I have kept my expectations.
Any way, I made an interesting observation about breast growth.
I'm not sure how many this observation applies to, but it does at least in my case.
I have only been on hormones since the end of last August.
About six weeks into my HRT, I noticed some development with my breasts.
I noticed some discomfort that has not gone away behind my nipples, and my breasts have noticeably filled out from the man boobs that they were. No noticeable enlargement of my nipples as of yet and my bust has not yet increased. I am a solid perky B cup at this moment.
As I took note of this, the words of others on the forums came to mind about when the normal time frame for breasts begin to enlarge and grow bigger.
I have been careful to take my bust measurement to keep track and I have not increased around my bust, but I have had growth in my breasts.
I can't help wondering if some of those that are new to HRT are simply confusing early development with their bust growing larger.
I can see how filling out could be mistaken for growth. But filling out is growth at the same time.
I tend to think of growth as a change in ones body. Not necessarily something getting bigger, but that also does apply to what growth is.
Just something I thought I would share and hopefully make some more sense of this crazy roller coaster we hop onto.
