Lots of background information, sorry.

Back when I was a teenager, I was fairly slender, but had a nice C-cup. Then after college, life and genetics caught up with me and I steadily gained weight (and also cup size). I knew I was overweight, but I was somewhat active and wasn’t really that concerned about it. That is, until several years ago, when I was getting ready to take a trip and was weighing my luggage by stepping on the scale with my luggage and then without and I did a double take at the scale reading. So I figured out how many calories I was consuming (way, way too much) and cut it down to 2000 while still maintaining the exercise that I had started a few years before. I lost weight steadily for a little over a year, then plateaued, cut my calories down to 1600 for a few months until I was satisfied with my weight, then went back up to 1900. All told, I lost 85 pounds and have a nice average BMI (I know it’s not perfect, but I’m active not athletic, slightly taller than average, and white, so I figured it’d work okay for me). I also lost several cup sizes and went down to a B-cup, which took a little to get used to but it had it’s advantages. Now, I still keep track of my calories and have maintained my weight for over five years. But in the last couple of months, my breasts seem to have gotten bigger (both fuller and heavier), though I haven’t gained weight. It could just be hormonal, but if not, I’m wondering if my body is finding an equilibrium that it once had or if my body fat is going to just randomly redistribute itself as I get older. Anybody have any experience or insights to offer?

Obvious question: could you be pregnant?

ayrt

No, not at all - haven't had sex in far longer than a few months.

No new medications?
See PCP/GP for a general check up and get a breast exam and referral to have hormone levels checked. There's a very small chance it could be symptomatic of something more sinister, and it's best not to ignore a change in your body when you notice it.

It is better to be that crazy lady who goes to the doctor for mysterious growing boobs than the one who doesn't. It's easy to tell yourself it's too embarrassing, or it's not important enough, or you're too busy.

Always look for and act on the earliest sign of a possible problem.

ayrt

No new medications. Thanks for the advice, will keep it in mind.

My breasts got bigger even when I was losing weight. I was told that is normal. Breast fat doesn't necessarily behave like other fat or go away when you lose other fat.

ayrt

Yeah, I figured something like that, but some consistency in my life would be nice. Mostly, though, I don't want to buy new bras.

How old are you? I was a rather late bloomer, my breasts got larger and fuller in my late 20s. It's not super common but it's not completely unheard of.

ayrt

Early 40s, so probably not that.

I've been at pretty much the same weight for the past few years but my boobs have suddenly decided to go up a cup size for no reason. No changes in diet, medication, no pregnancy, nothing. I'm as baffled as you are and have no advice to give. Sorry. :( I was happy at first then noticed that a small C is apparently the average size around here and all the nice bras are sold out by the time I get there.

It could be hormonal and linked to peri-menopause. You're the right age range for it, so I would suggest a visit to your GP or gyno for a consult.

ayrt

It's possible, I'll keep it in mind.
