Default unusual side effect from ortho tri-cyclen lo

when i was 15, i started taking orth tri-cyclen lo, i was only on it for two months when i noticed that my breasts had become 'lopsided'i thought that if i continued to take the pill then it would just go away. but it didn't, I took the pill for one year and then stopped. it has been 10 months and I still have this problem. I cannot even begin to describe the embarassment that it has caused me. I must always wear a padded bra to hide it, and cannot where a bathing suit to go swimming because of it. If there is anyone that knows what is going on or has the same problem or found a way to fix it without surgery, please reply. I have not been able to find any information on this. The package insert said that they would grow, but it didn't say anything about this. It said if you find a lump, tell your doctor, I have never felt a lump in either of my breasts. Can anyone help me?

It is normal for a womans breasts to be different sizes. The hormones from taking the BC pill so young could also have enhanced this. Really not a lot you can do for it unless you want to resort to surgery.

Mine are that way, very prounounced because of my crooked spine and I do find it embarassing sometimes. It doesn't bother husband though, he says he gets the benefits of enjoying two sizes on one woman! LOL! Go figure.

Basically what I am trying to say is I do understand but it could have other causes as well, crooked spine or etc. Best consult your doctor to check for any other underlying problems that may have caused it before deciding it was your BC pills and then you can decide where to go from there.
