A-Z jab - huge boobs?

I'm a 45 year old healthy female. I had my AZ jab a couple of weeks ago and the only initial symptom was a VERY sore arm.

Since then, my boobs have swelled MASSIVELY!

I've read the jab can make your period late - which it has - but no-one has mentioned the accompanying "menstrual boob."

This is a cup size... and then some... for WEEKS...

Seriously, I don't need a breast augmentation - I need a breast REDUCTION!

Anyone else?
Will they deflate once I get AF?

@JamMakingWannaBe - yes, that happened to me! My period was delayed and heavier than usual and the second it finished, I got massively swollen, uncomfortable breasts and several days of an abnormally high libido, then another period 2 weeks later, with breasts finally reducing back to normal after my 2nd period. All seems to have settled down again for now - but jab 2 coming up!

That is so weird. I had my 2nd AZ dose two weeks ago and have been suffering from painful swollen boobs for the last week.

I'm on the mini pill so don't have periods or normally any symptoms etc.

Thanks for replying.

I'm 21 days late but I am pre-pre-pre menopausal (I think) so my periods not always regular.

Even so, my boobs are not painful and full/hard like they would be pre-period - they are just bigger... much BIGGER and I'm not getting any of the internal "lightening strikes" that would indicate, to me, AF is on its way.

I'm not on any chemical birth control. I wonder if that makes a difference?

I think I still have a maternity bra in the attic. I'm going to find it.

NY Times reported on this side effect. Some women have reported swollen lymph nodes that have shown up on mammograms:

I’m 2 weeks post AZ and I have my period - I never normally get one as I’m on mini pill. Im bloated, swollen and my bra is very tight on me!
