breast growth after age of 18?

I'm quite small and I'm just wondering whether anyone knows if we continue growing past the age of 18. I haven't grown since I was 13! I've asked other people and they reckon that breasts carry on growing into our early twenties, but do you think that's actually true or are they just saying that?

also has anyone experience any breast growth on the pill? If you have how long were you on it for before you noticed any changes? Mine felt more swollen when I was on the pill and I'm wondering whether they would have grown if I had stayed on it for longer than 3 months.

It's very unlikely.

You're pretty much done growing by 18 except in a few rare cases.

I had the same feeling when I realised I would be 5'1 forever! Oh well at least I'm an F-cup to make up for it. Which is too big really, but it's a consolation.
Don't worry; join the club. I was a 32B at 11; I still am.

Teeheehee! But no :p:

I havent heard of it happening to anyone else though; I refused to believe they'd grown at first but then I went shopping and found my usual size too small.. and my (then) boyfriend commented on it too.

I really dont know what it could have been.. My diet didnt change a lot and I wasnt taking any medication. Ah well no complaints.
I feel your pain. Mine haven’t changed since 14.

Everyone is different though. But my growth spurt happened during a year :eek: I went from a 13 year old that looked like a pre teen, to…what I am now :redface:

I was a 30A up until about the age of 19. I'm now a 30G, so, yes, there's still time :biggrin:
hey
yeah think they do grow until early twenties, although i hope mine dont! im quite happy with the size i am and wld be annoyed if they grew bigger!!! I was on the Pill for about 2 years and it definitely made my breasts grow but thats because it made me put on weight as well. If you put on weight, they tend to get bigger, if you lose weight they get smaller. But all depends on your body etc, i wldnt recommend going on the Pill just to make your breast grow because it really isnt too great for your body and its hormones!!
Yeah breasts will tend to be proportional to your weight. Not always, but usually.

I'm 20, and mine were a 36B til 2 years ago and ever since then they've been growing!

Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone!

I'm definitely not in proportion with breast size. My whole body is curvy apart from my little 34A boobs. When I say 'curvy' I don't mean I have excess fat, I'm just kind of have wide-ish hips and well built thighs...which is why I find it odd that my breasts are so tiny.

Blimey, are you serious?! You lucky thing! :wink:
A couple of months before my 19th birthday I went up a cup size. I was surprised because I assumed I had stopped growing.

Oh and also, the reason I am hoping I might still have time to grow is because there are quite a few girls at 6th form who also have tiny boobs (not that I look or anything, well actually yeah, I do. I compare sizes! :redface: ) Anyway yeah, surely an A cup is actually a bit of an uncommon size in adulthood so at least some of us will develop a bit more. That's my line of thinking anyway.

lol :biggrin: I've seen some people who don't follow that rule :p:
