I've noticed my breasts are bigger and heavier since the coil and oestrogel. What's responsible? And is it permanent? Or does it settle down (and reduce?)
Thanks. Have a good Sunday

Being on oestrogen only I can confirm that it made my boobs bigger & very sore. It does settle though, but I was told by GP to get EPO which had around 250GLA. Ended up with starflower capsules as they were only ones which had anywhere near the required amount of GLA. Helped enormously.

Does that help just with tenderness? Or size? Thanks so much
-
I find the progesterone causes bloating and increased boob size.
-
I think it's the oestrogen, when I was on femoston 2/10 my boobs were bigger and tender constantly when I reduced to 1/10 it stopped.

Tenderness. Size wise I've stayed about the same. Think because they were so sore & tender, they felt much bigger than normal. I have found though as I'm reducing oestrogen, my boobs are slowly shrinking. Unfortunately still a bravissimo girl, costs a blooming fortune. Maybe one day I'll be able to shop in M&S again for bras...... ::)

That's a good call, I will look into that. Do you know how they work? :)

No sorry I don't. Takes a wee while to take effect though, so don't expect immediate relief. :)
