Likely the most noticable side-effects of the hormonal treatment I am on (which is essentially birth control pills, but not in a pill format) are some degree of weight gain/bloating and a very  obvious surge of breast growth.

In a mere six weeks I have gone from a 38B to a 40D or DD depending on brand!!!!

My husband LOVES it. I do not.

Why not?

Well, for one thing, I now have to buy all new bras, which is a hassle. I am not only picky about fit and comfort, I am also a cheapskate (no Wacoal in my future). So I will literally squeeze into ill-fitting undergarments until I find the *right* bra or bras that suit my frugal-yet-finicky criteria.

Then, all of my treasured cashmere turtleneck sweaters, while they still fit, look matronly and dumpy now that I am so hefty in the bust. I have noticed that lower-cut (ballet neck, cowl neck, boatneck, v-neck, etc.) necklines are more flattering with the bigger hooters and puffier face. And yet, I dont want to be flashing cleavage all over the suburbs, so I will likely have to invest in some larger-size underwire camisoles, as well.

I dont want to invest TOO much; tomorrow (Monday) I have another procedure to check out my plumbing situation (ie - more invasive gyne testing) because I am still having symptoms similar to those I had when the ovarian tumor(s) was(were) larger. If further workup needs to happen and/or the good Doctor takes me off the hormones, its bye-bye big boobies, hello deflated sandbags.
