Boobs swelling

This puzzles me so much. When I put on a bra it will seem to fit, but an hour or two later or sometimes just half an hour my boobs have swelled.

They swell when cold outside, they swell on PMS. They swell when in a bra, they swell whenever they feel like it and they are certainly way firmer when when it happens.

How on earth will I take this into account in bra fitting?! When my perimeter changes from 38/39 to 42 (today even close to 43) Also bust standing up, laying down and leaning over changes in the same way.

The bigger cup will be too big when not swollen, the smaller cup will be too small when swollen. It's really not about being in between sizes but having boobs acting totally crazy. I think it has to do with migration but I am not sure. I also know my ankles swell from socks.

It's not like rashes or anything, it's just swelling. So much swelling. All this summer I was afraid I was pregnant because of all this swelling. I'm not, but my boobs seems to act like I am. So what on earth do I do?

  • Get yourself checked for hormone levels and lymph problems. Should you have problems with your lymph system, you might want to consider bras with a wider band. Sometimes swelling such as you describe is a result of obstructed lymph flow. A very tight band hinders lymph flow.

  • This is offtopic because I dont know anything about swelling except on pms - but I am egarly awaiting your george adventure!
