Q: Boob Shrinkage On Ortho Lo??

I just switched from the patch (ortho evra) to ortho-lo pills last month. When I got on the patch my breasts grew quite a bit considering I didn't have much to start with. But in the last month since being on ortho-lo, they have shrunk back to their original tiny size. Has anyone else had this happen on ortho-lo??? Is it because of the less hormones in ortho-lo than the patch? Ahhh... I want my boobs back!!

I think it's probably because they're more likely to grow on the patch since the hormone level is higher. Ortho lo is supposed to cause fewer side effects, so your bigger boobs caused by the patch went away after you stopped. Maybe you can try a different pill with hormones similar to the patch :)
