Anyone else?! I'm checking for lumps, but wow, the last few months, my boobs are SO sore!!!!! I mean, they're hefty at the best of times but they are so heavy and I dread taking my bra off at night! Im also sleeping in a bralette. I've read up on it and had no idea that it was a symptom of peri menopause

Anyone else??

Yep. I take a good quality Evening Primrose Oil, not the cheap stuff from Boots, and I find it helps even though they can still get painful pre-period sometimes.
Non wired bra. Good supportive sports bra when needed. And a bra let for bed. I sometimes wear a light sports bra instead of a bra on my days off, bought them from Sainsbury’s, they’re so comfy.

I also take Oil of Evening Primrose on the advice of my GP. It sorted the problem for me. Good luck.

Sorry for you all, but I'm relieved to know it's not just me!

I would jump for joy if it didn't hurt so bloody much....Grin

I got this, it was horrible. Even walking was traumatic. I tried Agnus Castus after a recommend on here and it's worked beautifully. I hardly get it now and if I do I up the dose as I usually only take half. Hope you get sorted, it's awful Flowers
