will my breast shrink?

my breasts are really noticably uneven, with a difference of over a cup size (i measured). there was always a bit of a difference but when i went on the pill the bigger one grew while the smaller one didn't. i am only 18 (nearly 19) so i guess the other one might grow but to be honest it doesn't look likely. anyway, i am coming off the pill now for various reasons and was wondering if you think it's likely that the bigger one will shrink back? or will they both shrink in proportion? i don't know whether it's just cos of the pill that they got so uneven or whether it's just how i am :frown:.

Every girl has uneven breasts, it's just sods law that some girls have ones which are quite noticeable. They probably will even out in time and I doubt the pill wil make one grow and not the other.

i had this. one of mine was about a B and the other a D. before i was on the pill one was a C and the other like an A since i was like 13. i was 18 when this was stilll a problem.as for the pill, mines shrank back to how they were, still uneven

now im almost 21 and its all evened out. i think you'll grow out of it. i think women's bodies dont fully mature until about 20/21. mine didndt and i started my periods at 11. so dont worry. also wearing a 'chicken fillet' might helpyou look more even in tight tops if its a real problem

one of my breasts grew on the pill but the other one didnt... i've heard of it happening to other people too. i'm just trying to ignore it... no idea what will happen when you come off the pill, only one way to find out...

what you could do is to some pectoral exercises but the uneven breast side only.. increasing the muscles behind the breast may start to make the breast look bigger, and less out of proportion with the other one. Just an idea.

mine have stayed the same, eventhough i am on the pill.. if anything they have shrunk, but they are uneaven.. i don't think there is any girl who has perfect breasts while growing up..
all women have uneaven breasts I heard. It's my case too but it's not really noticable. What is more noticable and bugs me more is that I have one nipple bigger than the other.. am I the only one ?

but i guess there's not much that can be done.. just accept ourselves

Hmm, mine didn't change at all whilst on the pill. I'm sure they'll even out as apparently your body keeps on changing until your 21. If you're really worried you could go and see your GP for a chat and/or a checkup.
Mine have always been uneven as well. I'm 19 now and very slim so my bust is small too. One is an A cup and the other is AA. The nipples are not the same size either. I've been on the pill since I was 15 (for my skin) and i don't think it's had an effect on my size, I was uneven before I went on it. Its encouraging to hear that one of us evened out at 21. I'm hoping the smaller one will grow. Try wearing bras with padding on the smaller side. Also I think that this sort of thing can be hereditary, I've spoken to my mum about it and she was uneven like me. (she evened out a bit more after getting pregnant) Talking to your mum might help you feel better.
