    tbh I was immediately satisfied when my skin turned soft and creamy - the puppies were a bonus that came later

      I was the other way around. My breasts started at about 3 months, but I’m still not convinced that my skin is there after 15 months. My face is softer, but I’m not so certain about the rest of me.

        Wtf 3 months?? I’m at 14 months and while I have some boob it’s barely any. Like I have to wear a bra but only because if I don’t you’d see my nipples otherwise.

          I’m not gonna lie, it’s entirely genetics. Every single woman, both sides of my family, has large breasts. I don’t have an ass to save my life though.

              I’ve got really wide hips and a massive butt.

              Oddly enough, my wife (14 months HRT) and girlfriend (25 months HRT) are the exact same as you. Not a ton of breast growth, but they have grown themselves nice hips and butts. If only I could have the same cause I am oft misgendered from behind. So I am jealous to say the least, lol

    They do take a while. However, I found that, while I still want mine to be bigger, I did get to a point where my lack of them just stopped giving me dysphoria. Like, I want more, but I’m above the minimum I need for it to stop actually being a Problem, and that didn’t take a huge amount of time.

    Everyone’s different and everything’s relative, of course.

    I am three years in and just got another growth spurt last week. Tit growth works in mysterious ways. I have heard of older trans women who randomly go up a cup size like after 15 years on hrt.

    Tbh mine are growing hard so I’m kinda thankful that it’s not faster

    I already have ridiculous bruising and pain

    Maybe injections are the thing?

      I’m on pills, I should switch to injections thought, I’ve heard it’s better for your health plus it works faster/better. Next endo appointment I’ll try and make that swap.

      The bruising is something I didn’t expect. Now that my skin is more sensitive I just get like random-ass bruises all over my body and I don’t even know where they come from. I’m like a pear or something lmao.

        Injections are better for it (as is progesterone- but be careful, prog also really fucked with my mood). But even with pills, you can have success. The important thing is to take them sublingually, not orally.

            It’s not like dangerous or anything, but swallowing it means that more gets filtered out by your liver, so you get less effect.

            Yeah, sublingually means dissolving it under your tongue. Been a while since I did it because I switched to injections, and also there are different pills that react differently, but for me it took about a half hour. I think you can technically dissolve it in your cheek as well and it’ll work the same, but I don’t recommend it because it tastes awful and you’ll probably end up swallowing more of it

        I totally get the bruising, that shit is crazy

        From personal experience, injections super-charge your transition. I did sublingual like Orannis said, so even if you’re doing everything right it might still help to switch.

        Best of luck, sister!
