Trying to get off BC but my boobs are shrinking !?

Question

What were some of your experiences like getting off BC? I hate it.. I want back on it.. I decided to go off it thinking I wasn't doing my body any good being on it for so many years (I'm 23 now, started at 14) but I did and still do have pretty bad cramps whenever I'm not on BC so I'm scared its gonna be so bad I'd have to go back on it anyway but also the fact that I have to deal with my breasts feeling smaller due to hormones leaving my system and all is seriously messing up my self esteem as well... Or am I just crazy?!

Answer

I toyed with going on/off before deciding to stop BC completely and the starting & stopping really messed with my body. I had terrible side affects and it took a while for my body to even out. 
I had vitamin deficiencies from taking BC long term and my sex drive suffered immensely but after being off for a couple months now I feel a lot better. 
I do have super bad debilitating cramps the first 1-2 days of my period but I got prescription pain meds for it.

Answer

I finally just got back to "regular" after almost a year of being off bc. I had HELLISHLY cramps every time I'd have my period and many pregnancy scares because I never knew when my period was coming. Usually I had about 2-3 months between each up until this last month. I was on it since about 13 years old, and I'm 23 now, so same situation. My boobs are pretty much the same, though, I think... Anyway, if you're going to go off of it, you have to be super patient, and stock up on the ibuprofen.

Answer

I went off for about a month and I could tell my boobs got smaller. So I got on again cause I like them bigger lol
