HI Ladies
I dont know if you all know this already but I went to the well woman clinic today for a routine smear and we got talking about breast lumps...
Anyway the nurse said to only check your breasts while you have a period, once a month because this is when your hormone levels are at 0. Any other time during the month is pointless as hormones will make lumps etc appear.
So it sounds like we should be getting to know our breasts better on each period only as then we will be able to tell if any new lumps have appeared on the next period.
I thought I would share this as I certainly didnt know and check mine pretty much everyday which stresses me out because I always find a new one, now at least I know why!
