Well, I'm planning on starting Noogling in the next few days, so here are the official "before-everything" photos:
As far as I can tell, I got lucky and am not flat as I begin trying to grow. I don't know how to tell if I have actual breast tissue or my body likes to store some extra fat there. In favor of it being breast tissue:
I've consistently had the same size as long as I can remember. When I gained and lost around 30 lbs of fat (starting from around 150) a couple years ago, both my underbust and bust measurements kept pace with each other as they increased, then decreased. If they were just fat storage, I would imagine changing my body fat ratio from ~11% to ~26% should have changed their size.
On the other hand, one reason to suspect it's not breast tissue is that I had my testosterone levels checked, and it came back normal. Also, I don't think I have any of the risk factors for gynecomastia. So, who knows?
Right now, my measurements are around 34.75/36.75, supposedly putting me in a 34B cup bra. I intend to get fitted for an underwire bra once I've gotten my nerve up, so we'll see what actually fits me. That said, wire-less bras intended for 34B women fit me fine right now. I have a few bralettes that are thinly padded to prevent nipple peak-through, and, I suppose, provide a bit of an ego boost at the same time. With one of those on and a tight-fitting top over them, my breasts are obviously noticeable. On the other hand, in a compression top with a button-up shirt or hoodie, my chest is completely unremarkable.
What's my goal? I don't know. Bigger. Big enough that I can't hide them without binding, perhaps? At this point, I'm mainly to see if it's possible, or if the internet is just being...the internet. I'm going to start with no pharmaceuticals, just exercise, diet, massage, consistent sleep, pumping, and hypnosis. I'm not getting any younger, so if I get no results, I'll re-evaluate. That said, I'm kind of illogically optimistic. The universe has blessed me thus far in the boob department, perhaps I'll get great results and not have to risk my sexual function. Excited to see where this goes!
