Title: Why are my boobs so huge on Oestrogel and Utrogestan
Post by: Jane007 on January 02, 2023, 05:46:38 PM

I have been on 2 pumps of Oestrogel and 100mg continuous Utrogestan for 2 months now and it’s been excellent, no side effects other than huge breasts. I’ve gone up at least 3 cup sizes, I was 32B.
Will they eventually settle down and return to 32B? Am I taking too much Oestrogel? Should I reduce to 1 1/2 pumps?
Any advice please

My bra size has gone from 34E to 38G and has not gone down. It seems to happen to some of us. I became the new size after just a few weeks on 25 Evorel so I do not think it is connected to taking to much oestrogen.

Hi

My boobs have increased in size to, they use to droop down and be saggy now they are more rounder and big.

Tops I use to wear are too tight now, and my sports bras look like wonderbras.

It must be the hormones. I’m on 2 pumps of gel.

Best wishes

I’m on two pumps of Oestrogel and continuous Utrogestan and I’m wondering if I need to adjust the dose as my breasts are growing every month!
When I started HRT back in October last year, I was a 34b and I’ve just been measured today and they say I’m a 30g!
The bra they sold me fits well and is comfortable but it’s huge, it’s making me very self conscious as well.
Should I reduce the Oestrogel or Utrogestan? I really can’t cope with my breasts growing anymore like this

I’ve been struggling to find a new bra to fit me but it didn’t occur to me that this could be the reason! I’ve been the same size in M&S for years until now..
