    Default Alarming Breast Growth

    This sounds... uh... odd... buy my boobs won't stop growing. I don't get periods and I'm definitely not pregnant so it's not that. But the last week my breasts were sore and larger appearing...then larger... then larger... and now they barely fit in my bra when they kinda sunk into them a little!! I've grown almost half a cup size (and that b to c changeover is a big one, ladies).

    My boobs bounce a lot more and they jiggle a lot more and... I can hold a beer bottle in my cleavage now!!! O_O

    ... a couple women on my dad's side were a cups until 19 and suddenly by 21 they wre E's and even F's! O_O

    Could this be genetics finally working on me?

    Or... a problem? o_o

    Are you on any certain medications? Or have you been eating anything different like a lot of soy?

    By the way, when I was on birth control pills my boobs went up 2 cup sizes. They also go up 1 size before my period. I guess im SUPER sensitive to hormones of any kind.

    I've been on the same birth control for 3 years now; Depo prevera. I have changed no medication, I've been the same for a year now on meds.

    ...except... o.o;

    I did go on antibiotics when I was in the hospital two weeks ago. Think it might've stopped my birth control and then it kicked back in when I got off it so my boobs are growing now?

    They have NEVER grown this much when I got on the shot... like... bouncebouncejiggleARETHEYFAKEjigglebounce. o_o;;

    Bah. >_>

    Any hormone put in your body will change your breasts. Mine kinda shrank with depo. Depo gave me a hell of a lot of medical problems. Now that I am off it, they are more perky.

    Mine use to grow from A to D during the month O_o;; until they decided to settle for B to D recently... it might have something to do with hormones/weight/nutrition....

    Hmmm odd. Well as long as they are not very sore to touch, or turning a different colour, like swelling, guess it could be anything. I never heard of this one.

    I went from an A cup to a full C cup in about two months. No kidding. At the very end of high school, so my year book is full of 'nice boob job' comments. For me it was birth control- I was flat as a board my whole life til almost my 18th birthday, and now I'm kinda busty, go figure. I only noticed going for my morning run like "What the hell? this hurts, these are moving". Sure enough...

    I also grew an inch after my 19th birthday, which is weird apparently. I think some people are just genuinely late bloomers (I got my first period at 15, which is a little late).

    It's true! Breast development is sometimes kind of odd. It's like they grow for a while, stop, and then one day... *WHAM!* they're huge. I was a B throughout high school, but halfway through my first year of college, I went to a D.

    Shocked the hell out of me when I was measured by the Victorias Secret Saleswoman. I didn't believe her until she handed me a D-cup bra to try on and it was the most comfortable thing I had worn in a while. Was quite funny.

    Mine grew slowly throughout college. Wish they'd grow a little more...

    But yeah, that's kind of odd, LM. For a guess, you're going through a big hormonal change. Hormones are in constant flux, but you might want to get it checked out. My mom continued to get taller throughout her 20's, and was psyched cause she'd always been short. Finally she was diagnosed with a tumor (benign, thank god) on her pituitary gland that was causing her body to make growth hormones long after it should have stopped. She had it removed and is fine now. Not to spook you -- I'm sure you're fine, and it sounds like you're family has a history of this. But sometimes a big hormonal change means all is not well on the inside.

    Get it checked out, so you can put your mind at rest and enjoy your new boobs.

    I think they go beyond that sometimes too...my mum's boobs kept growing until menopause, without significant weight gain elsewhere. Mine seem to be doing the same- slowly but surely.

    Update: I am now officially a 32C when I was a 32B less than a month ago when I went bra shopping.

    They have stopped growing as quickly but are still slightly sore.

    >_> I think it's genetics.

    Have before and after pics. Will post.

    This caught my eye right away, having taken antibiotics recently can certainly have something to do with it.

    Most antibiotics interfere with hormone birth control and often render them useless for the monthly cycle coinciding with the antibiotic therapy. All doctors that I've dealt with have explicitly told me to use a back up birth control method (condoms, sponge, etc) while taking antibiotics and for a few days after. Although not very common, women have gotten pregnant while on hormonal birth control due it's loss of effectiveness when mixed with antibiotics. Also, all hormonal birth control medications I've used in the past have clearly indicated this fact.

    Did you have any unprotected sex during the time you took these antibiotics or shorthly afterwards? If so, it may be wise to take a quick test and/or check with your doctor to be 100% sure that pregnancy isn't a factor. Don't want to freak you out but being preggers is still a possibility if depo provera is your only birth control method...

    Just the fact that antibiotics change the effectiveness of hormonal birth control methods, it doesn't surprise me that it could be the source of these recent changes. It could have messed your hormones up a bit when you took them and now that you're done with them your body is kicking back into gear.

    Rule out pregnancy 100% and talk to a doctor if things get worse.
    Otherwise, enjoy the natural augmentation

    I thought I did mention that I was STILL USING PROTECTION during this time. Maybe it was another post. But yes, since then I have 1. had a period, 2. gotten another depo shot and 3 been tested twice.

    Also, to the above above... I know everything about depo and it's effects, thank you. I cannot take any other form of birth control. I am scheduled to get the implant in 2 months.
