Default The Induction / Estrogen Connection

Since starting induction my breasts are much FULLER. Why? Perhaps it is that fat consumption increases estrogen production. I learned on the "hormone jungle" website that DEcreases in estrogen can have the following effects on your appearance:

Menopause / Decrease of Estrogen
Changes in appearance that may occur during menopause include:

Shrinking and sagging of breasts.
Thinning of scalp and pubic hair.
An increase in facial hair.
Drying and wrinkling of the skin.
Increased brittleness, grooving, and slower growth of nails.
Weight gain, bloating.

So - gosh, I'm NOT in menopause, but was barely eating any fat before and yes, had the above symptoms...so it only follows that the sudden eating of PLENTY of fat might result in an increase - or balancing in my case - of hormones/estrogen?? Would result in (a happier me):

Fuller/firmer breasts - yes I think so (not for men I assume!)
Less hair falling out - yes for the scalp any way (ha ha)
A DEcrease in facial hair - yes
Moister skin and softer facial lines - definately
Increased strength, less grooving and faster growth of nails - definately
Weight LOSS, less bloating - soon to come I hope!!!

Please everyone/or an expert - chime on in on this one! Bigger breasts always make me feel FAT no matter WHAT - but my clothing fits better so its weird...
