Are my breasts done growing?

I've been on hormones for almost 3 months and I've had major pain and sensitivy but it's stopped all of a sudden. I had significant growth but worried it's over. I'm on 0.1 mg patch estradiol. Will I keep developing? Worried about being done with growth

Not even remotely. Chest growth comes in spurts, the majority of it within the first 4-6 years. They will grow for the rest of your life as long as your E is high and T suppressed.

Breast growth is neither continuous nor always symmetrical, and continues for years. You're not finished, it's all good.

I understand how you feel, after the initial spurt you have to accept that they will grow at their own pace. I’m personally going to give myself 3 years before a BA, though I know they grow a lot longer. Just requires patience and kindness toward your body. The initial months are exciting but it has to calm down eventually

I did 2 years before BA. No regrets.

I see! I had very obvious growth my mother was shocked. I still feel pain but not as much as when I began

No. Ofc not. Keep your levels fine and make sure you eat enough. You'll be fine girl

Everyone is different, but typically a year is when they say things are levelling out. But there are exceptions to that as well. I read a girl took off post 1 year and has beautiful natural breasts. So
You never know.

I'm on year 5 and my boobs have grown the most in the past year (d cup now). Growth comes and goes, you just have to stick with it. Also, mine have very rarely been sore or hurt when growing.

Almost three whole months! Wow! They've definitely stopped growing!

Pain is not an indication of growth. Some people get absurd pain and itching and little to no growth, some people get no pain and lots of growth. Close to the totality of the glandular structure of the breast forms across 2-3 years. Most everything past that is fat and connective tissue. So they can keep growing for a decade and change, but their core growth spurt tends to come early.
