I consider myself lucky. I noticed breast growth after my first *week* on HRT, even at half a dose. I was honestly quite shocked. Other changes progressed slower than expected, but not that. Lucky genetics, I guess.

I just passed the three-year mark, and I'm pretty sure I'm a solid B cup, maybe even B 1/2 (half-sizing is a thing for some better bra brands). Which is actually quite a lot of boob for someone who's six feet tall with a big, broad chest (38-inch underbust) and broad shoulders. It's hard to say, but I feel like maybe I'm still developing.

My transition goal was always unambiguously female breasts, and I have those. You can't miss them unless I'm wearing something bulky like an oversized sweater. I've only experienced dysphoria around my breasts once in the last year, when I was wearing a bralette under a tee shirt and the girls were kinda squished flat. Changing into literally any other bra, including a sports bra, looked great.

Would I like them a little bigger? Sure, I guess. Not enough to even think about surgery right now, though. Maybe I'll get a BA in the future, but I'm just fine the way I am for now.

This will be a good note for me to keep in a year or two's time in case I need it.

For reference, I'm blessed with the boob genetics from rather well-endowed sisters. So I may not need it. Still, I've decided to give myself 2-3 years to see if I'm fully satisfied with 'natural' boobs first. If not? Get me to breast boobily all-the-way, doc.
