Age 17. Will my breasts ever get bigger?

April 27, 2014
Asked By:Theresabash in Milford, MI

I'm 17, started my period at 10 (going on 11), and I was very top heavy because I was a heavy kid. I lost around 50 pounds between 15 and now and I am very unpleased with my breasts. They have gotten much smaller, they're literally sagging, I have no cleavage (never really have anyways), and I hate them. I do take birth control, so I don't know why that hasn't helped. A lot of women in my family have large breasts only on my moms side. My mom said when she was 18 she grew a whole cup size. Help?
