I noticed this too when I first started Armour. It alarmed me a bit because

I hadn't had tender breasts in I don't know how long. Thought maybe I was

pregnant...as in perhaps the Armour had helped the infertility. But thank god

(I'm 48) that wasn't the reason. So I don't know. It did go away.

Ok! they aren't quite as tender as they were a few days ago - but still tender

and uncomfortable - and sore 'clear thru' ... like the fibrous tissue

(fibrocystic breasts) is all inflamed - the lumpy bumpy things.

I guess it's a hormone thing somehow - just shows how connected these hormones

are I suppose! I know I couldn't be pregnant - and it would be odd for me to

have an influx of whatever causes it sometimes in a woman's cycle.

As long as it eventually goes away!!!

thanks!

Nothing else has really changed. I take estrogen only replacement

hormones -

Cris, you could be experiencing a bit of estrogen-dominance, which

can cause breast tenderness. Might be time to decrease that

estrogen, or add natural progesterone to the mix to balance the two

female hormones.

Gee , you give me hope. My B's were also tender and swollen

like big balloons that they almost did not fit in the H's anymore. I

had lumps in it to, but thank God there were no cancer signs. The

doctor called it 'Masteopathie'.

Yet, when they are so painful I feel sad, because even being a woman

is depressing, including the PMS and heavy bleeding I got. But

that's all over now. Except for my swollen breasts once and a while,

which seems to occur especially when I'm to low in hormones.

I had this symptom also on synthetic where upping the dose, -as we

all know- wouldn't help. Do you take additional T4 ?

This is probably an option for Cris too?

ahhhhh - it is possible. My low dose was doubled a year ago because I was having

the night sweats and hot flashes. Still, a fairly low dose though - supposedly.

I'll try cutting it down, and I'll pick up some progesterone cream at Vitamin

world - assmuming my store carries it. would the armour have set this in motion?

I know I saw information some where about estrogen dominance - do you know where

there is good information on it?

Thanks!
