Q: Please Help Bc Side Effects !!!!!!

I started taking orthro tri cyclen the middle of may (first time ever took bc) and stopped after one month (so middle of june). I was a full c cup when I started taking it and my boobs did not grow any during the short time I took it, however after I stopped my boobs shrank and I have heard this happening to girls whose boobs grew while they took it but not if they didnt?? My boobs turned to water, they seriously feel like nothing is in them and they are a small small b I went and bought new bras and everything and now even those wont fit on some days. It is the worse when I just get off my period my boobs practically vanish !!!!! Do any of you know why this is happening and if it will eventually stop?? Also my hair has been falling out ever since I stopped taking birth control and it has gotten to the point where my hair is about half as thick as it used to so I went and bought $50 shampoo that is suppose to help keep it from falling out?? Taking birth control was the stupidest thing for me to do it seems like now but I was just hoping someone could explain this to me and maybe tell me that things will eventually go back to normal?????

Hair falling is associated with taking or stopping birth control but I don't know about shrinking boobs after you stopped taking it..Well here's just my theory..I'm not sure though..Since estrogen is the hormone responsible for female features including boobs..I think that when you stopped taking bc...Your body somehow stopped producing some estrogen..Or you got thinner! Since boobs are made out of mostly adipose tissue (which is fat cells) when you get thinner it shrank together with you...Are you going to the gym or something?

Yeah that would make sense, but im not loosing weight and I do go to the gym but I have been a runner for years and have actually put on weight this summer but maybe like 3 lbs so I dont think weight has to do with it
