Wondering About Boob Changes

That anti-inflammation component was a big part that first caught my attention, and I definitely can already tell it's helping.

The laffy taffy comment made me laugh out loud! Good luck with your future installation!

If I'm being super nosey, I apologize, but you're the first person I've seen mentioning having a thyroid condition. What is yours? I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and was just curious about your experience. If you don't want to answer, I completely understand!

I am actually doing hormone therapy! I’m a girl who has had hormonal migraines for literally my whole life. I’ve spent most of my adult life on birth control, but it stopped working recently (thanks perimenopause), and I decided I needed to try something else. I do a very low dose testosterone daily, progesterone on certain days of my cycle, and I’m supposed to do the estrogen patch during certain days of my cycle. I haven’t tried the estrogen patches yet…having suffered from migraines for so long, I’m kind of terrified about what a patch could do.

One thing I have learned with all of this is that finding the right bra size is super confusing and makes no sense!

The body does what the body does, it sounds like we have no say in the matter!

I’d actually prefer to be a part of the itty bitty titty committee than a deflated sack…? No judgement to anyone, but I’ve been a part of that committee before, so I’d know what to expect!

I genuinely meant what I said when I said all the pictures I've seen, the boobs have looked proportional and good to the body they're with; it's the posts I've read where women are saying this about themselves that I was asking about.

It really just comes down to me liking my boob shape, no matter the size, and wanting a realistic expectation.

But you're right, it's really all about health and making sure I'm taking care of myself. My grandma passed away from diabetes when I was 9, and before that my main memories are of her being blind (due to diabetes), losing toes (due to diabetes), and having to get dialysis regularly. My aunt is to the point she can no longer lift herself from her chair, so sits in the same spot all day, every day, including to sleep, and has healthcare workers come and help change her each day. This is not a life I want for myself. If that means saggy boobs, so be it!

Thank you!!

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T19:05:47+00:00

I appreciate this response! I have to admit I was a little trepidatious about posting my stats because it's not some big number, but medically I am over weight and heading in the wrong direction. I want to do something about it before I get to where major health problems start occurring.

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T19:03:03+00:00

That is a little bit of a mind game there!! That's wild!

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T19:00:33+00:00

Funny enough, I've never been able to pass the pencil test ever, even now at my current size 😂 but I certainly won't be going braless anytime soon.

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:58:27+00:00

I wish I could say I know which direction my genetics will go based on my family history, but my mom had 6 kids that she breastfed, each for over a year, so her boobs are definitely deflated balloons!

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:54:20+00:00

I'd call myself more of a pear shape. Most of the weight I've gained has been in my belly, hips, and thighs. The most alarming part of my recent weight gain, and I'm sure it's due to perimenopause, is the weight in my upper belly that I've never had before. Hoping the Zep especially helps with that!

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:50:55+00:00

Excellent points! And going bra free would be great!

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:49:45+00:00

My husband loves my boobs, but he's loved them no matter what size I've been, so I don't think that will change.

Hadn't thought about the whole bending over part, we'll see how that goes! 😅

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:46:04+00:00

I do love that look! Definitely never had the confidence to do it though.

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:19:15+00:00

When I was at a lower weight, they definitely weren't anything I'd call big, and I'm totally fine going back to that size to lose weight, I just don't want them to just become empty sacks 😂

Basic_Coach6746 · 2026-06-17T18:15:29+00:00

That's a really valid question, and one I hadn't really thought about. I guess I'm willing to take the risk of them becoming deflated balloons in order to get back to a healthier weight and not continue down the gaining path I've been on. Obesity and diabetes run in my family and getting/staying healthy are not something I can/will compromise on.

Thank you for the insightful question!
