is this normal
ok so ive been gaining weight for some time although my bust dosent seem to of grown to my disappoinment the last week ive had terrible sore nipples what could this be ? did anyone experience problems like this when gaining weight ?
GOOD SIGN GOOD SIGN!!!
Sore nipples OFTEN indicate a rush of or increase in bodily estrogen, something that is lacking in anorexic and underweight women! Just think: when someone gets pregnant, one of the first signs is: sore nipples! Why? Your body is filling with estrogen! It is also a symptom of PMS and a menstrual complaint sometimes. So no, I'm not saying you're going to get your period tomorrow, but it is a good thing. Keep up your calories and fat percentage - get that monthly cycle back girlfriend!
Oh this lifts my heart! Not that I want you to have sore nipples but its a good thing!
Yes. This exact same thing happened to me actually while I was gaining. :)
bethany i really hope you are right . it so worrys me ill never start functing again thanks for putting my mind at rest i thought there was something wrong with me or like joggers nipples and i dont even run :)
Yep. Bethany's right. Most likely estrogen. Many menstruating women have very sore nipples and breasts during their cycle -- either at ovulation and/or leading up to the actual period. And in early pregnancy the breasts are often sore as well. Soreness no fun, but it probably means the right direction for you. Congratulations!
My boobs were one of the last places to gain weight back - most people find they gain weight around vital organs first (hips, bum, stomach) and less vital areas (arms, boobs, sometimes legs) later. This is because fat protects the body so as a survival mechanism, you'll gain it where you need it most first.

thanks for that explanation meryll it was worring me i was going to be flat chested forever
lol, and what vital organs are our bums protecting?
or, did you mean that gaining weight around the midsection (that protects those organs) also includes the bum?
Our butts aren't protecting anything specifically, no. I meant that gaining weight around the midsection (as opposed to the extremities) is a protective measure, and that includes your butt... But your reproductive organs are housed in that general area so fat a little further down makes sense too.
I know you have fears of no period but you will I have faith. I hope you are increasing your healthy fats. I really feel why I got mine back at a ver early stage cause my diet is high in fats since day one. Remember I said healthy omegas too help with pain levels so it may help your other issues as well

Joggers' Nipple..... irritation caused by friction of nipple rubbing up and down against clothing from the action of jogging.
