So I went to buy new bras today, expecting to be somewhere along the lines of a 16F. Last year I lost about 17kg, gained back 10, and have since lost about 5. The 5kg loss was very recent, the 10kg gain happened over a few months. The weight fluctuations all happened after June 2007.
So I figure that since my bras still fitted even after I gained weight, that's about what I'll be. WELL! After trying on several different styles and getting help from the professional fitter, I leave with a size 14G BECAUSE THE BRA THAT FITTED ME BEST WAS AN H CUP BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE MY BACK SIZE. WTF?!
How is it possible that i've *lost* weight (I tried on clothes recently in my size and they all fitted, some were too big so I definately have, plus I weighed myself) but my boobs have grown so much? I'd think I were pregnant had I not had a period this month!
Have you done another test? I have a friend who had a chemical PG, but it turned out she WAS pregnant still - must have been twins. She was nearly 11 weeks before she realised she was actually still PG.
Also, are you still BFing and if so, has DD been ill recently? SOmetimes they take a lot more milk and you go up a size while adjusting, and you don't notice so much because one generally pays less attention to how much kids are feeding when they're out of babyhood.
And finally, it's definitely possible the brand has changed rather than you!
I haven't done another test actually, I did one that was negative just before my period (though I did it at the end of the day . . . ). I had the thought that it could've been the brand but the wierd thing is, I tried all different brands and none of the F cups fitted (whereas my last bras were an F cup) and many of the G cups were to small too!
I haven't noticed any changes in DDs feeding habits that would cause this, sometimes my boobs are a bit bigger or small depending on how much she's eating but there hasn't been this much difference since she was a newborn and I'd wake in the night engorged! Since you mention it though I'll pay a bit more attention. It's hard because sometimes I can't tell if she's drinking or just sucking.
If you have lost weight, then the size will be different (16 to 14) But your breasts may not have gotten smaller as well...My boobs have gone form a size F to a GG in about 2 months and I have lost weight...
PITA!! lol
If you go down a back size you often go up a cup size. For example - if I was a 14C and then lost some back diameter and went to a 12 the equivalent is a 12D if the breast size remained the same. It can do your head in
I know what you mean girls, thanks. The thing is I don't think I actually lost a back size since the last time I was fitted. After the weight fluctuations I'm about the same now as last time I was fitted.
Bx, LOL!! I need a BFP first! Y'know it would make a lot of sense, I've been really emotional and tired lately. But it seems so strange since I had what I assume was my period this month and had the BFP and then bled in January. Surely one can't have two period-like bleeds in one pregnancy, unless I fell pregnant against straight away after the chemical preg and had a bleed? Agh, confused XD
Some women bleed through their whole pregnancy - my cousin went to the doc for stomach problems, and found out she was 7 months pregnant! She hadn't noticeably gained weight, and hadn't missed a period, no morning sickness. Weird stuff!
Eeep! That's so strange! Why would one get their period if they're pregnant, there's no purpose! OMG I'm freaking out now lol!
I think I might just buy a HPT today, don't think I can wait for the Dr!
edit: BFN I'm dissapointed but the truth is this would be terrible timing. I got an evap line though XD which seems odd since it was a POAS where you place the cap over the pee on part. How does it then evaporate? Ah well, I know it's not a BFP because the line didn't appear until like, 10 minutes later. Piffle!
