Bigger boobs - is it due to HRT?

I don't want to get all tree huggy here - and I definitely don't want to tell people what meds to take or not take but... just as a matter of interest, do you know where they get the hormones for HRT from? I really don't want a barrage of abuse here - and for all I know there are different, and perhaps synthetic sources...

Thought it was just me ..... Gone up 2 cup sizes am 57 not on any HRT and sailed through menopause I'm not complaining ?

Mine got huge during my pregnancies and never went back to their normal size. Now they're huge, and hard to cope with. Going without a bra is painful. Also I can't get a bra to really fit. They ride up at the back because of the huge weight at the front pulling everything down. By the way I've never taken HRT.

I've never been on HRT, but when I hit 51 they started getting bigger by the day, so noticeable that everyone commented. Over a few months I went from a C to a G cup...and they are still that size 6 years on. My weight has reduced by about a stone in that time, but nothing has changed there. My OH gives thanks to the 'middle-age booby fairy'. I don't really like it, getting good fitting clothes is a nightmare.
I was similarly visited by the 'pregnancy boob-fairy' 31 years ago, but that only lasted until the end of breast feeding.

Definitely not pregnancy thanks very much kitty!
Though interesting to hear it's affected you in same way floorflock.
Will make an appointment with my GP just to check up. Maybe I'm in denial and there is more of me everywhere...

I have been pondering about this myself for a while now. I blame the menopause (a still in it though - hard luck) without HRT. I look at them all the time as they seem to have a life of their own now and feel massive. It's good to hear that I am not the only one...

I have been on combined patches for 3 months, haven't noticed any difference thank God they are big enough as it is. I echo your experiences gillybob helping with night sweats only, I'd love more energy.

I have been on the combined HRT for around 6 months too minimo and my boobygones are exactly the same size they always were, small. At least they aren't droopy.

Slight change of subject.... but apart from helping with the night sweats I am not seeing any other benefits whatsoever.

I've been on oestrogen only HRT (now apparently good for you!!) for 15 years at least and, yes my boobs are bigger - but so is the rest of me. Don't think it's the HRT.

I wish I had the bigger stage. Mine shrank when I went through the menopause at age 58 and I've hardly seen them since!

Pregnancy??

I think eventually with age they start getting smaller - but I'm still at the bigger stage myself!

Not on HRT, but my boobs did get bigger after I retired, mainly because I put on weight. I lost the weight and my boobs returned to the size they have been since my late teens. I am over 70 so obviously the boobs getting bigger as you get older problem has yet to affect me.

No I haven't noticed anything and been on HRT for about 10 years now. You might mention it at your next check up - I'm assuming you do your breast checks regularly don't you?

Not HRT with me, but my boobs are getting bigger by the day!! It could be dolly mixtures, crisps, cake and chocolate to blame, but blinking heck. I seem to remember reading somewhere that our boobs do get bigger around this age (61 in my case).
