I wear a bra full-time now because I like the feel and because I have a very understanding and supportive wife . I'm a natural 46A/B but would like to be a full B or a small C. I have a couple sets of forms which I wear but I'm getting tired of having to maintain a clean-shaven chest all the time to get good adhesion of the forms to my body. I like the feel of gently swaying breasts but not what all I have to do to get that feeling.
I've been having serious thoughts lately about getting implants. My wife isn't in favor of my doing this because of my age (she says, although I'm as healthy as a horse) but she won't stand in my way if I feel so strongly about having this surgery. She knows about this forum and has suggested that I ask the members here what they've done.
So here's my question. How many girls here have breasts that are natural as a result of physical development due, for example, to gynocomastia or hormone therapy? How many of you have implants? And finally, who are using breast forms or stuffing their bras with some other kind of filler? As an extension to the question, what size bra do you wear?
There's nothing urgent about this but I would really appreciate everyone's input.
I may be a candidate for BA surgery, but I'm not sure anymore because of they testosterone blockers I've taken have caused very mild gynecomastia and so I can of have an A cup now.
When I would wear forms I had C's, but now when I put them on I don't like the feeling because they don't feel like a part of me anymore. This is even starting to happen with hair, but I'm ok with that right now. I will tell you that wasn't always the case (with forms). Because when I did wear them though they felt like mine. I would come home from work, for weeks, and wear them all the time. So I understand why people love them, but if I was intimate with my wife or even if she was playful and would touch me there was no sensation there and I started disliking it more and more. Any feelings of pressure or sensation were false, I'd have to imagine the feeling and well I didn't like them anymore. Darn it!!!
So I also talked to my wife about BA surgery and like your wife she was like, "ummm .. no" So I told her I'd wait 2 years to see if I felt the same way then and we'd re-evaluate the idea. She liked that idea and it also helped her understand I wasn't trying to have anything that would make me look like Halle Berry or Pam Anderson. I wanted a size that I could still wear male clothing and it not be noticeable. I know it would mean a life of sports bras, but I'd be ok with this.
I hope this was the kind of answer you were looking for Lauren.
Virginia does not take any horomones. She (me) does not wear a bra unless she is dressing and she has no intention of having any type of surgery. With my forms I usually wear a "C" cup. You realize this is just Virginia and I do not speak for any of my sisters!

First star to the right, then straight on 'till mornin!
I wear and fill a B cup. No gynocomastia, BA, nor hormones. Just me and a little too much fat
The bra size depends on the bra. I have a 44.5" chest below the breasts and across the breasts measures 49". So in reality I should wear a 44B but mostly wear 38B.
I have quite an assortment of bras, including a gel bra, a pair of enhancers and a pair of foam forms I made.
Most of my bras are C-cups but I also have A-,B-D-,E-and F-size bras, at the moment about 70-80 of them. I´m quite slim so I have to wear some kind of forms whenever I´m wearing a bra. There simply isn´t any breast tissue at all. That´s why I´ve also bought A-,C-,and E-size silicone breast forms and 2 pairs of self-adhesives meant for GGs who want/need a fuller bust. I use them to fine-tune my cup size
I love bras and breast forms! My life would be so boring without them.
I've been on an Estrogen/Aldactone program for 4 years now and I'm a 34/36C. I thought about it for years and did a lot of research before I entered the program (under specialist medical supervision). I suppose that for those of us whose needs go deeper than the clothes, then bodily changes may become the necessity in our struggles with ourself regarding our gender conflicts.
Going down this path is always full of uncertainty because however we feel, or think we should or should not do certain things, we are entering an unknown world which no one can say with any degree of certainty as to what the emotional or physical future holds for us personally.
My wife has and still does have reservations about the physical changing side of it all ( as to health risks), but I do attribute some degree of how she feels to the fact that physical changes takes me and my family closer to the ultimate change, thereby presenting a huge life changing challenge to everyone and it's the possible repercussins I've foreseen from all this which to date have prevented me from taking that final step. For quite some time now I've been content and comfortable with everything and the need to go that final step has not been any great issue and it gets easier every day.
What I would also like to add is this. We may say at a given point in time for example, that our deepest desire is to just go to the point where we obtain our own breasts and that will be it, we won't go any further. I can say however that it's not that easy as we take each step along the journey. Much will want more as the saying goes and with something as deeply emotional as this it can gather speed to the point where controlling the urge and need to go further can be an emotional volcano. So I would urge anyone who is considering effecting any physical changes, either by surgery or hormonally, to give it long and careful consideration and discuss it thoroughly with those around you who love and need you. Naturally surgical changes can usually be rectified but the costs can get quite horrific. Changes made by hormones can sometimes stay with us forever, unless they too are surgically rectified.
What we have to take into consideration with hormones is that if we are using them to target one particular gain, such as breast growth, then we also have to be prepared to accept all those other physical and emotional changes which come with them too. Some physical changes are wonderful, others one could do without, but they all come as part of the package as I've found out.
I would just like to add that in four years I haven't experienced anything physically detrimental or health threatening as a result of the hormones, most of it has been a 'life saver', but if you're considering Estrogen, which is the hormone you need for female breast growth, you also have to consider something such as Aldactone to supress your testosterone supply to be able to obtain best results and then you have to accept that you will become sterile after about 12 months and also after a few months your abilty to have and hold an erection will suffer from 50/100%, this is something which both parties in a relationship have to take into consideration and discuss thoroughly. It's a case of weighing up the gains against what you may both lose.
If there's anything else you feel I may be able to assist you with or you'd like to know about on the hormone side of things then don't hesitate to ask, either here or by IM. I wish you well with it all.
Kind Regards.
Sally.
Watch nature, because it’s our greatest teacher, it moves and flows and moves on again. We can never be free until we disengage, so allow life to flow as you find it. The way it is, is the way it is.
Sally, as always what a great post! For Virginia at my age, I am going to have to stick with my genetics and heredity. I am still considering the "light show" for my facial hair, but nothing beyond that, well maybe work on teeth whiting.
You give great advice.
Virginia

How many girls here have breasts that are natural as a result of physical development due, for example, to gynocomastia or hormone therapy?...How many of you have implants?
I have natural A/B development as a result of gynecomastia and exercises. I sometimes consider herbal supplements, which I've used in the past and my body seems to respond well to. I have never seriously considered implants and doubt I ever will. For me sensitivity is more important than size.
My natural breast development persuades me that my body knows what it's doing, and I'm fairly content to let it stay that way
So here's my question. How many girls here have breasts that are natural as a result of physical development due, for example, to gynocomastia or hormone therapy? How many of you have implants? And finally, who are using breast forms or stuffing their bras with some other kind of filler? As an extension to the question, what size bra do you wear?
Another "sufferer" of gynecomastia here. Or maybe I should remove the quotation marks? It sure can make your life difficult, specially as a teenager. Sure, really convenient when enfemme. But not exactly convenient all the rest of the time. I can't imagine somebody who is not planning to transition wanting to have large breasts.
Bra size? 38B. Usually I will add a pair of those silicon breast enhancers, thoug. Now, in the pic in this link: http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Gro ... 21002a.jpg you may notice that I was going bra-less that day. (no, not being naughty, just the facts, I hate those who wear tops with spaghetti straps and the bra straps showing)
Firstly, I value my relationship with my wife higher than my personal enjoyment of cross-dressing.
I have considered all forms of treatment in my past, hormones and surgery, but when I have observed the hurt it causes for my wife I have backed off.
Breast Prosthetics come in various grades, my most recent pair bought from a Mid USA supplier in eBay last year are like the rocky mountains, big and hard, I wouldn't recommend them. They fill a 40F Bra.
I also have a pair of medical grade prosthetics bought in Manchester, they are almost worn out now, at seven years, but they were 6x the price but feel much more natural in their movement. I wear them in a special 38B bra, my chest hair is kept trimmed for appearances only.
If I was considering transition, I would follow Sally's good advice.
I wouldn't under any circumstances consider an implant.
Hi Lauren,
Im a natural B cup myself,(some fat and gyno) and with the help of a good push-up bra and some makeup I see no need for more.
I did try using a homemade breast pump but the results were realy temporary,
Implants would be much safer than herbs or drugs . but kinda hard to hide if they are any size, not to mention pain and cost involved.
Here is a recent photo that shows the illusion you can get if there is a little up top to work with. I have never gone out flashing the (twins) ,,that seems like asking for the wrong kind of attention and me being the shy one to say the least :-)
Good luck !
