(Not taking Hormones yet actually, I want to but I also donā€™t want to grow boobs)

    By opposite I meant feminization but more boobs, but I realize thatā€™s not the ā€œexactā€ opposite. Iā€™ve been on HRT for nearly two years now, but boobage is small :(

      Unfortunately thereā€™s no magic pill that can cause bigger boob growth. Everyone has a certain genetic potential for boob growth, and that gets activated to the fullest extent possible after a prolonged period of estrogen and perhaps progesterone. If there was some pill that could drastically increase the breast size of people that already have estrogen-dominated biologies, then the breast implant industry would not exist. If you could just take a pill to make your boobs as big as you want, who would want to go through the pain, expense, risk, and artificiality of implants? Implants would be used for breast reconstruction after breast-cancer treating mastectomies, but thatā€™s about it.

        Yeah I know. Realistically thereā€™s nothing that can be done. Iā€™d get a BA but I have other surgeries that have higher priority. Or hopefully in another few years, theyā€™ll grow more.

      Oh sorry I assumed wrong. In that case progesterone could help, as someone else has already mentioned. Iā€™m on prog and I think itā€™s helped somewhat. It makes me eepy though so I primarily use it as a sleeping pill now lol

        Iā€™ve been on progesterone for almost a year, I should have mentioned. It didnā€™t help at all with the size but maybe a bit the shape. Anyways I switched to cycling it since itā€™s a PITA to take (literally) and it doesnā€™t benefit me much.

        FWIW itā€™s probably genetic because nobody in my family has big knockers and mine are probably a B cup at best. I just wish for bigger ones šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

          Same here, nearly 1 year on prog. I think it helped more with shape and didnā€™t do much with size as well. There is oral progesterone available though, if you donā€™t want to take the suppository ones.

          And as cool as gargantuan genuines are, smaller breasts are still beautiful too, and they donā€™t cause back pain either, so thatā€™s nice at least.

            Yeah Iā€™m awareā€¦ From my understanding, taking it via suppository is better for absorption. And itā€™s fine, itā€™s just if Iā€™m not getting much of a benefit from it (which I feel I would have seen after 9 months of taking it), I donā€™t see a reason to continue taking it every day. So I take it for 10 days at the start of every month. Doing it that way still helps with my libido and stuff but I donā€™t have to take it every day.

            But I agree, there are pros and cons to both. I just want them to be a liiiiittle bigger, yknow? :) Maybe thatā€™ll happen in time though, 2 years is still early.
