After I quit taking birth control.. - Birth Control Message Board

Will my breasts return to their normal size? I have been on Yaz for 3 months, and my breasts have gone up a whole cup size. I am not going to continue to take it after this pack is finished.

Thanks.

Probably they will shrink back again. It might take awhile though. I had major water retention and bloating as well as bigger boobs on the pill (also up a cup size), and I'm just over 2 months off the pill but only within the last week or so have I been noticing that my boobs seem smaller (about half a cup size smaller).

That's good to hear. Thanks for the response! I'm looking forward to getting off this stuff.

It depends on how much weight you've gained on the pill. I gained a lot of weight while being on the pill for 14 years. I went from a C cup to a DD, although I'm probably closer to a G cup at this point. I quit the pill the last week of June, so I've been off a about a month and a week or so. No change for me yet. I don't know if I will see any change. If I do, then that's great, fantastic, awesome and I will be ecstatic. If not, then I guess I have to go back to saving for that breast reduction surgery I never wanted to have.

I didn't gain any weight from the pill. I've only been on it 3 months. Just the breast swelling which is annoying and uncomfortable.
