It was sounding like you had Post Traumatic Saddle Disorder!I can confirm that I do in fact have a saddle soreIt's very very painful.

Did I read you had a charge spoon? The same thing happened to me, for months it was great, then something changed in my body and over night it was terrible.
For me it was weight loss that caused it, but I'm wondering (as you're still growing) that your pelvis may have widened slightly pushing your sit bones further apart. Might be worth measuring your sit bone width to make sure the saddles the right width.
I've been using a Ritchey saddle for the past week to see how I liked the design, I'm definitely more comfortable with a flatter design than I was with the curved Spoon. Any idea on how to measure my sit bones?
Oh poor you!I can confirm that I do in fact have a saddle soreIt's very very painful.
I think my saddle sores have healedTo celebrate, I bought a nice pair of Madison Tour bib shorts from my LBS (so I can return them if they're the wrong size). Does anyone have any recommendation on reasonably priced saddles prefferrably with a cutout?

You passed it to me. Mind you is my own fault, I went for a 2 hour ride on Sunday with our lass and wore normal clothes. Went commando and padded shorts today and am staying like that now, much more comfortable.
I personally like Selle Italia saddles, and their range comes with and without cutouts.
CRC have a bunch of Selle Italia saddles on sale, e.g. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=82176
