Twin,
All I can say is it's one of those YMWV type of deals. It usually takes a long time to develope breasts. Each of us reacts differently to any given medication. How much estrogen are you taking?
Sore boobies are a sure sign things are growing.

This is another of those YMWV thingies. In my case, I had very little breast growth the first 13 months after my castration. Then I started taking Premarin to suppress the hot flushing, and in two years got up to a B-cup. I am now off the Premarin and the breasts have remained at B-cup size.

Just as an anecdotal tidbit or two, I remember when my breasts were just in that "bud" stage- still cone-shaped. One day, we were grocery shopping and I accidentally ran into a shelf or something on the shelf "just there"- OUCH!!
Along the same lines, in early pregnancy, my breasts grew as well and they were VERY sore- heavy, achey, painful- couldn't do much without having to hold them up before I got a bra on. This was even before a test was positive.

Well Hi Twin! Welcome to the Club.Whether or not you want them. You are getting them. Size will depend on your genetic make-up. Those sweeties being sore is the big sign. I love mine and just had them checked out. They are fine say's the lady doctor.
She also told me that Kaiser Foundation Hospital's has completely dropped Premarin.
This is what everyone has been saying for a long time. I do Love my little breast's.
Hugs,Leona

Hi Twin,
Yep boobs, mine are also growing, it goes with the lack of testosterone. Like Christina and Andrew said YMMV. I see my doctor tomorrow and I am going to talk to him about it, as my right tit hurts like hell so I know what you mean. I just hope he does not say to wair a bra.

You just may want to, wair one of those sports support bra. The sports support bra will make them almost flat, if there small and keep them from boucing around, and less boob bouce less hurting.
