Thank you so much! And don’t get discouraged, everyone progresses differently and waiting is certainly the most difficult part of this whole process. Currently I wish my breasts would develop a little faster but alas I can’t do anything about it but wait.
so true, the waiting is half torture and half bliss! the body goes into the right way now, but also guhh, if i could press a button to instantly very painfully change me, i'd do it in an heartbeat.
the boobs will indeed come, it takes time... Iirc they take the longest, even with cis women. 5 to 10 years can be a thing. that said, yeah, it varies. this timeline can be a helpful pointer, but still, YMMY.
i went from starting at 75B to 80C (EU sizing), calculated it through here, growth still ongoing!
if going by UK sizing i'm looking at going from 34A/B to 36B/C.
it's slow progress but what kinda helped for me was to take body pictures every month and see, that way i do notice the progress a bit better.
i'm using 3 spray pumps a day myself, so no patches.
Yeah I know that it takes time and also that the growth comes in spurts sometimes.
