Question?

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how often this has been asked recently, but has anyone had kinda continuous breast growth, or tenderness?

I've grown a cup size which I don't mind, but I'm curious as to what's, well, going on. Does it stop? Does the tenderness eventually stop? Will I grow another cup size? (I hope not)

Well, if your birth year is accurate in your userinfo, you're 20, and it's quite possible your body is still growing. I went up a cup size when I was 18, and I have cousins and friends who, at 22-25, are still growing a bit.

Wow, that's crazy. I forgot to mention that I was on the NuvaRing, but the information everyone gave answered my question completely. I was always under the impression that women's breasts stopped along with puberty.

I'm 24 and mine have been growing slowly since about middle school. They had an extra burst of growth in college, and then when I went on the nuva ring they grew a little more. I've quit the ring and they're still slowly growing... and I'm worried that if/when I get pregnant they're going to expand more (my mom went from a B to a DD and stayed that way). I'm a rather full C, possibly D (it's been a while since I bought new bras... and they're trying to expand... what can I say, they have a mind of their own).

That also poses an interesting unknown for me; I'm not sure if the NuvaRing is the direct factor of my growth or not.

Totally off topic, but what is your icon from? It looks familiar....

I'm about 99.9% it's Dr. Fuckin' Venture. AKA Dreamboat.

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's Dr. Venture. He's the best :DDD

Are you on birthcontrol? Birthcontrol will cause breast growth. >_>

However, I began developing breasts when I was in 2nd grade and I'm 18 now and still growing. Its slow.. but I'm an F cup now (big boobs don't run in the family either). I heard women can start at 21 and end later. Or end at 21. Or even sooner. Just depends on your body. You might be growing, who knows. My boobs have gotten tender after a cup growth and stayed tender for awhile and eventually it went away without anymore changes. Then I've gotten random tenderness for months with no change, lol.

Ooo I'm a size 38/H, but wondering where you get your bra's?? it's sooo hard to find ones that are big enough!

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

So it sounds like humans grow forever in certain ways.

And yes, I totally forgot to mention I was on the NuvaRing. I'm a dunce.

Mine have been tender since I started, which is probably the cause of it. Their continued tenderness, however, could just be my body deciding that it's time to expand and baffle me greatly.

Ooo I'm 20 and I notice mine are still growing. They tend to get sore/tender around that time of the month. Someone women always get sore, some don't HBC can increase or decrease this effect. My dr told me i'd probally never fully "stop" growing, but will most just level out at one size. However when women have babies their breast tend to gain ANOTHER size or two when you are preggy/breast feeding.

as for finding bras, there are plenty of places online that sell bras for anything above DD's.

Bare Necessities (http://barenecessities.com/) seems to be a favourite. I found these bras (http://www.biggerbras.com/by-size/38h-bra-size.cfm) at biggerbras.com, specifically searching for size 38H. And I found these bras (http://www.onestopplus.com/plus-size-Bras.aspx?DeptId=11752#) all through a search on google!

Just thought I'd let you know, in case you didn't (i'm sure you do though)

[thought-ribbons.livejournal.com]

Oo thanks, I knew about some of thoses but not the others :)!

WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENING TO ME?!

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy. They didn't even grow when I was on bc. Curse you, genetics!

[lenosaurus.livejournal.com]

Maybe one day.. I hope.

Breasts continue to change throughout our lifetime, so it's not unusual to experience a growth spurt, or a decrease in breast size at this time in your life. As breasts can change so much, it's usually recommended that you get measured for new bras every six months or so.

21 & still growing.

HBC can cause breast growth. I think breasts grow until around age 25...

I remember reading a bunch of stuff that claimed that your breast growth was supposed to stop about a year after your first menstrual period. Yeah... didn't happen for me. I've grown at least three cup sizes since then. Some of it, in my case, has been weight gain since I figured out that I tend to gain a bit in the chest, but that only accounts for maybe the latest half cup.

I've also heard about the link between BC and breast growth.
