..should’ve eaten more..
I'm not underweight and I am and have been eating okay
what’s your bmi?
i’m bmi 25 and have ok growth for 4 months.
someone told miii for good breast growth 23 bmi to 25~ is best
I mean it shouldn't really matter what my bmi is as long as I actually eat enough + healthy, which I do
.idk.
if your breast growth is minimal that means uuu have to change something right?
..i’m not so sure if eating healthy should be your priority..
..i eat pretty poorly tbh.
>that means uuu have to change something right?
idk what to change, my levels are more or less okay, my bmi was higher before and my breast growth was just as slow and minimal so I wouldn't think gaining weight again would change much
i still honestly think it might be a bmi issue but i also nvr do trans research.
..just think what you think would be he simplest soulution ig..
it does from a fat perspective
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5488158/
>TEBs are bulb-shaped structures unique to the mammary gland that direct the growth of the ducts throughout the rest of the fat pad
>Once the TEB reaches the edges of the fat pad, the TEBs regress completely [22], leaving behind blunt-ended ductal termini or sometimes smaller rounded buds which are frequently mistaken for TEBs but do not exhibit the histological structure or high levels of proliferation indicative of active TEBs
need fat pad to grow into, and from the perspective of density
https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674%2817%2930951-0.pdf
>inspection of whole gland reconstructions revealed a strikingly low frequency of ductal crossovers (Figures 1A, 1C, 1D, and S1) with terminated tips often residing close to an existing duct or the fat pad boundary (Silberstein, 2001). This observation suggests that ductal elongation and branching may proceed as a ‘‘default state,’’ with tip termination occurring only when tips come into proximity with existing ducts. Such behavior is consistent with in vitro measurements (Nelson et al., 2006), which show that ductal branching only occurs when remote from the other ducts, with tips close to neighbors remaining inactive
more space to proliferate = less density & crossover of ducting = more potential for breast tissue
not a guarantee for larger breasts, as there's multiple factors involved, but adequate weight is important to a degree
>but adequate weight is important to a degree
i guess ill think about maybe gaining a bit but my bmi is already okay so...
np, stick with whatever you're comfortable with at your own pace, your mental wellbeing is important too
I gained to 22.5~ and am staying here for now cause I've got a history of eating disorders (and this is the first time I've been able to 'eat intuitively'), but I'd like to try going up to 25 to see what happens
>1.5 years
switch up your meds, i was on plasters for 2 years with no changes, then i switched to pills and grew b cups within a couple months
bodies are weird and respond to medication differently
you're gonna make it
>i was on plasters for 2 years with no changes
did you do blood tests? I'm asking because maybe it had more to do with your levels being bad
what if gender dysphoria isn't the core of your problems and it can be cured in other ways?
no! Going to war with your body is the only way!
Okay so you're saying... If someone grows small breasts they can't really be dysphoric? Did I get that right? Breast size isn't even the dumbest test for trutrans I've seen
people need to stop talking about HRT like it's some magic thing that literally just converts you into a passoid, it just sets people up for disappointment
it cannot undo any male development that has already happened, and any changes it can cause are dramatically weaker with every year older you get
the unfortunate reality is that for most people over 18, HRT won't do very much for them. there are rare exceptions, but they're just that, exceptions.
I guess I should just kill myself then
I mean it's worth giving HRT a proper shot. make sure your levels are right, try putting on weight, adding progesterone, the 2mg oral meme, injections, there's a bunch of different things to at least try
You told me you were going to kill your self years ago because you don’t pass. This was after FFS so unless you had more surgery it sounds like HRT is magic.
I'm not stealth but I think I pass the majority of the time
it's not perfect but it is what it is
You told me stealth and die
yeah and I'll probably end up having another breakdown and killing myself eventually. but until then, I'm alive
This was years ago so stop lying, HRT is magic.
the only significant thing HRT did for me is give me good ass & hip growth
it didn't really do a lot for my face or boobs
I mean I guess it did do stuff like skin changes and other minor things, but if you talk about the "big 3" from HRT its face, boobs, ass, and I only got ass
Hip growth ? I thought you started after 18
I did, but I got pretty decent hip growth from HRT which I was very surprised by
my hips literally ached on and off for months at a time over the first 2-3 years, and I ended up with actual decent hips
That means HRT is magic
nope it just means I got lucky in that specific area, like I said it didn't do much for me outside of my hips & butt
Having hips as wide or wider than shoulders is what determines if you pass or not so it’s very important
definitely not, your face is ultimately what determines if you pass
there are 6'4 basketball players with inverted triangle body shape women that are unquestionably cis, and there are 5'4 pear body shape women who look like mtfs
Those are blacks, white women don’t have those features
