Hi
I have to tell you all that I am just simply thrilled. As many of you know I have been on HRT now for about 5 months. I have been impatient at times waiting for things to happen and have been alternately disappointed and euphoric. I recently went to my gender specialist who, after looking at me said that I have progressed more in 4 months than some of her patients she has been seeing for a year. That was Euphoria #1. Next I found a bra calculator online. After measuring myself in the 6 different ways it was telling me: loosely under the breast, snugly under the breast, tightly under the breast and then the breasts at the widest part in three different positions, standing, leaning at a 90 degree angle and laying down. I input all the numbers from the tale of the tape and the calculator said I was a 40B. That was all I needed to see! I immediately went to Walmart because I know they don't guard the change room like some stores. I tried a 38B, 40B and 42B. Lo and behold the 40 was perfect. The breasts are not quite a "B" cup yet but are very close. They are definitely bigger than an "A". Euphoria #2. I'm also starting to get curves, which others have noticed. Looking at myself in the mirror everyday sometimes yields no results, but looking at pictures of myself comparing month 1 to month 4 there are definite changes. Euphoria #3. All this at the tender age of 66.
Sorry if this sounds like boasting. I am simply thrilled with changes that are happening and wanted to tell the world. I am sure there will be days when the dysphoria raises its ugly head again. Thanks for reading.

Congratulations, Jennifer.
My biggest thrill so far is the development of my breasts! Every time I was in the shower, I'd look down and it seemed I had another 'burst' of growth. Plus, I began buying bras that comfortably supported them. But with the most welcomed breast growth, I also gained too much weight, and also had to buy larger banded bras to fit properly. I still love my breast development.
I am retired now, but when I was working, I had considered buying chest binders to hide my protruding breasts. In the job I had I had to wear aprons, which helped to cover my breasts. I took an apron home to be able to come and go with it on.
