So, I'm feeling a little discouraged today. 
Today is the 7th day of my cycle, and since I quit taking BC, I am STILL on my period. I have been so exhausted, and I cannot stop eating! I was on yaz, so I was used to having it for only 3-4 days. Not only that, but I never, in my entire life, had my breasts swell before or during Aunt Flow's visit. They were just the same, small set of breasts that they always were during every day of my cycle. However, it appears that this has changed, and I think it may have to do with getting off of BC. Where before I was measuring at 34" at the end of cycle 1, today, the 7th day of cycle 2, I am now measuring 33.5" again. Which means NO GROWTH last month.
I find this VERY hard to believe, because my breasts have been sore every single day since I have started taking PM. I mean, noticeably sore to where I am incredibly aware of them all day, every day. I get pains all through the day.
I don't know why they shrank back to the original size, but I'm wondering if maybe it has to do with the change in my hormones since I have quit taking birth control. However, I also think that this will help in the long-term, even if it affects my growth in the short term. Now my breasts can focus on all of the estrogen that PM is putting in my body, instead of the hormones from the BC pill. I don't know, I am just trying to stay positive, because negativity never got anyone anywhere.
I'm also going to try to start with just 1 PM pill this month for the next week, to see if I get any pains from that. If not, I'll go back up to 2 until I cycle in my luteal phase.
Sorry for rambling!!
