Two days ago i went into Victoria Secret to purchase a new bra. They told me i was only a 32A bra. I said that seemed a little small to me and that the bra size i am now is larger then that. The lady swore to me that this was the right size bra and that the current bra i was wearing was WAY to big. Well I've been wearing the bra for 2 days now and my breasts have NEVER been so sore. My nipples feel so sore it's insane! I've never felt such pain in my breasts before. It's more on one side of my breast then the other but both sides are sore.
-When i wore the bra it felt REALLY TIGHT and almost like i couldn't breath.
-could this mean the size was to small for me??
or could it mean something else?
-i am sexually active but i am using birth control, a condom, and the pull out method.
-what do you think could it be the bra?-

You can't rely on bra sizing EVER. Your breasts are a unique shape and size. You've got to get a bra that's comfortable on YOUR breasts. Measuring can give you an indication of the sort of size that it might be worth trying on, but it can't do more than that. Whoever served you clearly didn't know what she was doing.
Take it back and ask to see the senior fitter. Take her with you into the fitting room. Try on the bra in front of her. Let her see it on you and show her where it hurts. Tell her you trusted her fitters. Ask her to give you a bra that really does fit YOUR breasts. If your nipples are sore, let her see the size and shape of your nipples, so that she can choose a suitable style.

Sounds like the bra is too small. Just b/c the clerk works at VS doesn't mean she knows what she's doing. I get fitted for bras at least once per year and I always get two opinions. I understand that you were eluding to the possibility of a hormonal change that may have caused you to swell, but if it was making your nips sore as well as making it hard for you to breathe, it's totally a size issue. I'd exchange it.
Good luck!

The woman was just going by what she thought you were and it is the bra. To get an exact size measure yourself. After you do that exchange the bra for a larger size.

Did they measure you, or just eyeball it and tell you your size? It sounds like the bra is too small. I think you need to be measured again. Try going to a different store and see what they say your size is.

It sounds like the bra to me. If you think the bra is too small and are uncomfortable wearing it, don't wear it, get a larger size.

I'd get measured somewhere else. The bra is way too small.

the wire's on the bra kills you.
You have to change the strap.
I think a 32A is the perfect size. (or a 34 because its too tight)
Your bra was too big thats why it feels different.
