Often during transition, the breast area values (numbers) do not show much change.  At first glance, one may feel that not much change is happening. Usually, more changes are occurring than you realize.  Keep in mind that your muscles are diminishing as fat is redistributing itself towards a normal female form. The change in breast size is seen by looking at the numeric differences between the chest, bust and rib cage measurements.  Additionally, the overall decrease in one's frame size (size decrease due to overall loss of muscle mass) is seen in these measurements.

The true degree of breast growth in the transgendered woman is often hidden by the fact that the chest wall diminishes as quickly as the breasts enlarge. Therefore, the overall breast measurement may stay the same even though it has enlarged by an inch or more because the chest wall has diminished by that amount.


So the changes happening, or not happening may in fact be giving you the idea there isn't any growth. This is why measurement would be a good indication in terms of your growth.
