Don’t feel bad. I got the same diagnosis after a brain scan…

I can only hope that mine turns out the same. Actually, I hope I don't need one at all, but that's wishful thinking...my prolactin is high, it could be a prolactinoma.
Cypro is a piece of shit, honestly πŸ˜†

Any remarks a doctor might make about your breasts probably aren't good, though.

That's not covered by your health insurance, gotta pay that yourself.

You don't know anything about my health insurance πŸ˜‚

I'm actually extremely privileged to have such good health insurance. I get all of my medications for dirt cheap. Not everyone is that lucky, not to mention, not everyone even gets the proper meds they need in the first place...
I kinda suck πŸ˜”

That sounds like an opening for a sexual harassment case, though. You can't say shit like that to your patients in a professional setting, no matter how nice your tits may be.

I have had a doctor complement my vagina before. Mind you she's the one who made it, so it was kinda bragging about her skill. So yeah, I imagine mammoplastic surgeons can get away with complementing their patients' tits

Yeah...but just imagine your doctor complimenting your tits πŸ‘€
That would be like a next-level ego boost for me, no matter how creepy it is...

Unremarkable for the US. It's specifies US breasts.

I want to know how they compare with European breasts.

Hmmm, I have literal tons of pics of "European breasts" on my profile...not to mention my gallery πŸ˜‚

I guess...I guess yeah, they are European breasts, aren't they? Connected to a European me πŸ˜†

You need to balance your breasts, otherwise you end up walking in circles.

Is this when they spin the breast very fast and then glue on some counterweights?

You're still a bit early into hrt, right? My advice is to make sure your E levels are good (look up what cis levels are, some doctors underdose), make sure your E administration route is good (oral is worst, patches, implant, gel, or injection are best, sublingual should be equivalent to the better options, but is less reliable, I recommend injections), make sure you eat enough (boobs are mostly fat and growing them takes a fair amount of calories), and take progesterone rectally

And yeah that's what I did. There are other tricks and tips that I've seen people talk about, including supplements, but that's all less evidence based that what I said. I wish there was a magical cup size pill or something, but until they develop something of the sort, it's all gonna be ymmv and stuff like this. Oh also it'll take time.

And yeah, don't let insecurity keep you from what you want to do

I'm getting to 8 months, which seems not as early anymore...
My levels are good, if a bit high (around 400pg/ml trough), I'm on injections, I boof my prog...I'll admit I do NOT eat enough tho...
It's just a bit strange. I don't have flatness genes and every single trans woman I meet seems to be growing boobs bigger and faster than I am. I'm at a healthy weight, but it could totally be the lack of calories...

Thanks. I'll keep trying. Not ready to give up hope just yet ❀️

8 months is earlyish. You should have some growth by now, but it could be pretty small. They often grow a lot between 6-24 months. They'll continue with mild growth throughout adulthood. Also some people experience puberty faster or slower than others.

I'll admit, recent transitioners these days seem to be getting way more tit than was normal back in my day. I was downright stacked for a trans woman 9 years ago, but I'm still nowhere near some of my family (but also bustier than some).

So yeah, make a point to eat when you're hungry, and if you notice you're really hungry lately compared to usual that's a sign to eat your fill because your chest is going to be sore soon.

And yeah, unfortunately it's like gardening, you can't force them to grow, but you can give them every opportunity to grow as much as they will. After about 2 or so years of hormones if you're still unsatisfied you can look into if surgical options are right for you (I personally lean away from them and recommend reevaluating your relationship with your body and trying to love it as it is over a boob job, but I still consider one every once in a while)

Small boobs are so severely underrated, please don't be so hard on yourself girl πŸ™ Tits really are tits πŸ₯΅

You're underestimating the straight man's love of boobs. All sizes are wonderful.
