I'm 17 years old (18 in August), I weigh 109 pounds, and I'm 5'7". Well, currently I'm trying to gain weigh, my story is I began my period later then the other girls in my class, I started when I was a freshmen in highschool (14). I really had no breast developed then. Right now, I can barely fit into an A, my nipples don't look like normal nipples? below the nipple, it's round and looks like it's "full" but I stood on the side of a mirror sideways, and placed the beginning of the ruler front of the armpit, but middle to see how far my breasts stuck out from the sides, and it came really close to 4 inches. That's..not..good. My period really has never been normal, and I've heard from a few people that sometimes going on the pill can help issues with your period, and sometimes also increases someones breast, even sometimes to one or two cup sizes. Well, recently I've gotten the pill, I skipped my period last month, and so far..it's no show YET. But it's still the beginning of the month, and that's when I'll have to take the BC pills, but anyways, I really want to know if that WILL increase my bust size, maybe I had delayed puberty, lack of hormones or something to cause my boobs not to grow. I'm trying to better improve my healthy which if you guys have ANY advice on what to eat that could help with some breast fat or whatever, I'd APPRECIATE GREATLY. Also, I'm trying to gain weight, i'm taking some vitamins called Nature Made Essential (Women's), and honestly, I just want to look and feel good about myself, and hopefully fix my problem. Is there still time for my breast grow?? Also, my mom is a C cup, her mom's a D cup, and I mean they are pretty average sizes, hell even my 14 year old sister (she is overweight) has bigger boobs then me, a C cup. Please help me!

Danielle, I would wait it out. My g/f was the same way as you. She just began growing later in life. She still is pretty small (in general) but I find her very attractive. You may want to also talk to your doctor and get their input. In general I think they say women grow until they are 21, so even in that sense you have time. I think some women, however, can grow past this if they are slow growers (like you and starting your period later). I would not despair, you'll take shape soon and probably will look younger most of your life (which will server you very well when you get older!!!). Hang in there Danielle, there is hope sweety. I'll keep you in my prayers,

Your body may not have started producing enough estrogen. BC pills introduce more estrogen into the body & can cause growth.

See your doctor & ask to get your male/female hormones tested. They may be out of balance, if you insist he will do the tests.

When boys at puberty have hormones out of balance they usually have too much estrogen & they start growing breasts. Girls just do not start growing them if the estrogen is too low. Both can be corrected.

Hi there! give it some time.. your pill will start making your periods regular, but they dont always give you bigger breasts. i think mine got a little bigger... and for some reason they look a little bit bigger now at age 18 than they did in my younger teens, so they can definitely still grow! with eating.. i would try eating lots of protein, protein bars, protein shakes.. they can help you gain some weight in a good way (not junk food or something that is bad!). btw.. lots of girls have smaller breasts and people still think they are sexy or attractive, and guys usually dont care about the size (they just like them all haha). i dont have big breasts and i wish they were a little bigger but hey, i think most girls do!
