HRT & massive B**bs!

So I’m getting married 7 weeks today. I just picked up my dress that brought in November when I was 10 pounds heavier and the back won’t do up because of my HUGE boobs😕. The dress is big on my bottom half, which I expected & am having altered in 2 weeks.
I can only put this down to HRT & I wonder if I come off now do you think there is a chance my boobs will shrink quickly??
i do like HRT for lots of reasons but I do also think it’s does make weight loss harder .

How long have you been on HRT? I noticed my boobs got huge when I first started it, but then gradually went back to a more normal size and softer.

And is it a cyclical type as that may affect it too, a bit like your natural cycle would.

This doesn't make sense. There can be temporary changes in breast size & sensitivity. But not to this extent & not as an ongoing issue.

I'm not sure it's linked to HRT.

Really stupid question but are you wearing the same bra as when you tried it on last? I am big boobed and a bra can make the difference between some dresses fitting and some not.

Thanks for replies:
I've been on hrt for a year
i used gel x 2 pumps and utrogestan vaginally 10 days
It doesn’t make sense but I have lost 10 pounds since I first tried the dress on
i will try a different bra
my boobs are definitely bigger, I’m normally a 34D and currently a large 34DD & could probably wear a 36 x

I agree about checking the bra, but I had to come off HRT because it made my boobs huge and super sore. I wouldn't go cold turkey though if you do come off it.

Mine have been so sore at times I’ve wondered if I was pregnant! I’m going to have to go cold turkey to see if make a difference. Worried about hot flushes and sore ankles though 😕… it’s such fun being a women!
