Perhaps you misread my post. We're in agreement.

Some to express femininity, some for some other aim (each equally valid).

Have to be careful with the use of "we" when it comes to the variety of aims of others.

My therapist asked me how I define my transition, I'll skip explaining my response because it's listed in this thread. However, if we ask ourselves a similar question of how we define our reason(s) for breast growth (here at BN), we might be surprised what we'll learn...someone (anyone) should make a new thread on the topic.

Super interested in your updated nbe plan and what it looks like nowadays, I've followed along for a while and know you've moved with your research so some of the stuff in your old list (above) is no more or changed. Thanks Bonny

1. Breast Hemicircumference
   
2. Breast units
   

Now the hemicircumference is measured across (3 to 6 o'clock) your breasts...this gives you cup size.

The second is measured (in centimeters) from 3 to 6 o'clock and from 12 to 6 o'clock. This tool can tell you if your breasts are growing, and not just on width but horizontal too. And these two numbers are multiplied. To bad the graph doesn't show adult boobage numbers, I haven't been able to find such chart. Maybe we can make our own here?.

These are my numbers as of last week:
R 33x23=759
L 31x23=713...a difference of 46.

This measuring tool will tell you if you have asymmetry (one breast is larger or smaller than the other).

Perhaps someone would like to create a new thread for folks to share their data. And if one of their breasts are asymmetric we hopefully help overcome this with different techniques.

Don't click on the breast unit links...spam ad pops up.

diometres, thanks for the feedback, I'll catch you tomorrow.

Abstract
The histologic changes induced in the mammary gland of male-to-female transsexuals have not yet been reported in the literature. We studied the histologic changes induced by chemical and surgical castration and estrogen therapy in the breasts of 14 such patients, with particular reference to acinar and lobular formation. To objectify the influence of cross-sex treatment, the histologic findings were compared with those in two men treated hormonally for prostate cancer. The slight increase in the plasma estrogen-to-androgen ratio seen in idiopathic gynecomastia usually does not induce acinar and lobular formation in the male breast. In men treated with nonprogestative antiandrogens for prostate cancer, only moderate acinar and lobular formation occurs. Only in male-to-female transsexuals in whom progestative chemical castration is combined with feminizing estrogen therapy will full acinar and lobular formation occur with hormonally stimulated nuclei and pseudolactational changes. Hence, combined progestative antiandrogens and estrogens are necessary for genetically male breast tissue to mimic the natural histology of the female breast. Orchidectomy does not contribute to this. Apocrine metaplasia may occur in breasts of male-to-female transsexuals, but so far, only four cases of breast cancer in male-to-female transsexuals have been documented.
