Another post to track my progress. I feel like I've had tons of it lately. For five weeks now I've been taking my measurements including my sizem size every week. (I think I got the idea from someone on here.) It's not like the pattern is different than you would expect, but seeing the numbers has been very reassuring. My boobs change and I have different neeeds on different days.
My perceived breast perimeter can change a lot and still be the same sizem size, for instance, so it makes sense that I get mixed messages from bras when I try them on. It has made me more relaxed about finding my size, now that I have it in writing how much it changes. I've also been able to use the fluctuations to understand how my bras fit. Last week I lost weight due to an infection and interestingly enough it made my bra with the largest cups look too small, so I've had to reevaluate it. Is the band too tight?
So while my standard size has become less interesting, I also think I've gotten closer to finding it. Most calculators put me in 30G, but I think that the shape of my ribcage makes it necessary to go up to 32FF and up a cup for PMS. I have gotten used to the tight band of a well fitting bra and I still feel like the 30 bands are too tight. It's possible that I will go down in the band eventually though, especially since I haven't had a chance to try as many bras in the smaller size and I also seem to be losing weight at the moment, but my hypothesis for now is that the 32 is right for me.
In conclusion, I'm still looking for my perfect bra but things are falling into place and I've learned more about how much I can't know. I give it a week before the confusion sets in again!

I've been figuring it out that it's more than likely that a bra will work for me one day,then not the next day,and then again the next day,since that's what's been happening lately.Even though all of my bras right now are not the right size,one will fit me better on some days and be completely unbearable and unwearable the next!It's kind of crazy.haha.
So I think I need a variety of bras in different sizes. O.o
It is crazy! I have one bra that is super comfortable once a month. It's wearable for a few days more, but that's it. Weird!
