Throughout this menopausal process, one thing never ceases to amaze me: how much my boobs shrink and grow with the hormones. Last summer my 36Cs all but disappeared. I was traveling for work, with a male work friend from another country, we're workout partners when we're together, and he knows me and hubs quite well. I actually *warned* him that they had disappeared. He still freaked lol. Then, last fall they came back. And then some lol.
Then they petered out again, and now they are BACK. Big time (pun intended).
I've taken to keeping two completely different sized bras.

Anyone else, or am I the lone loon?:laugh:

    I thought it was either one way or the other, not alternating, but I guess everyone is different as to how things behave around menopause and beyond. Doctors often tell women their boobs will shrink with menopause, but the reality is that fully 1 out of every 5 women(maybe even more)have the OPPOSITE thing happen, increasing by up to 2 cups sizes at least. I started off and was at a nice dainty 34B for YEARS, and then 4 years post menopause got up to a full 34C, without even that much of a weight gain. Plus I work out so it's not like my whole body turned to fat! Even that bit of an increase in cup size does make a difference how one looks in clothes.

    I hope mine shrink permanently. I've always wished they were smaller.
