I’m 21 and I never had any big breast changes I grew about a hand full each side and my hips widened a tiny bit when I started puberty at 15 but it stopped quicker than it started it seemed. They never even rounded out as much as most peoples do so after the painful budding I never had breast issues. well my left breast has been looking slightly bigger than usual lately and my nipples have been kinda burning here and there. Specifically around ovulation. During ovulation they don’t usually hurt but my boobs seem to be hurting all the time now between ovulation and my period. I’m also getting acne where I don’t usually get it and I haven’t changed anything hygiene wise. I’ve been having such intense baby fever which makes me think something hormonal is going on? Is this normal changes or should I get checked out

Genuinely if something major changes quickly enough to be noticeable, I’d advise trying to get some medical advice. But I say ‘try’ because unfortunately often anything unusual relating to menstruation or hormones gets completely blown off by docs, sometines even gynos, so it may nit be easy. If the new size difference in your breasts is easily visible, you may be able to get further.
Breast and nipple tenderness and swelling on its own is not uncommon during the menstrual cycle, but usually it shows up as you’re ramping up to your period. It’s not universal, though, I’d only get it some months, though it has been getting worse lately(37, potentially perimenopausal).
Things do change as you get older, and while I never experienced it, baby fever setting in somewhen in your twenties/thirties isn’t unusual to my understanding. But my breasts stopped growing long before 21 and only got bigger due to overall weight gain. Maybe someone else will have more info on thay ’cause we’re all different, but if you aren’t gaining weight otherwise, that’d be what I’d hone in on bringing up.
