Breast shrinking on Mirena?

Question

I have been on Mirena for 5 months. Prior to that I had been on OrthoEvra (the patch) and Nuva Ring for 4 years. I did not have a large chest before I started the hormonal birth control and while on it at first I did grow a bit. I have never had children nor been pregnant. Now I seem to be seeing my bustline shrinking a little bit! I am not totally sure if this is just my imagination. Does anyone know anything about this?

Answer 1

I was on the Depo shot for nine months, but anyway, it is progesterone only like the Mirena IUD, and one of the side effects listed in the patient information guide for the shot AND the POP's(progesterone only pills) I was taking before them actually said that decreased breast size WAS a possible side effect of the hormones. I risked it with my 32A's anyway, when you ain't got nothin, you got nothin to lose. I hope this isn't happening to you though, you could call your doctor. Good luck though

Answer 2

No. Never heard of this happening. I've had the Mirena for about 5 months also and I haven't noticed any change in my breast.
