Breasts shrinking for NO REASON

I am a 23 year old female.  When I was 18 I went on Loestrin 24, and my breasts got bigger but a cup size, maybe even 2.  I was so happy.  They stayed pretty big, wavering depending on my weight loss or gain, but overall I stayed around the same weight (I never actually lost/gained enough to change dress sizes).

However, now that it's been 5 years since I started on this pill I notice my breasts have actually gone back down to what they were originally.  I am so upset!  I am actually OK with my current size, but I'll be really upset if they get any smaller.  Is this normal?  Have you heard of this happening to anyone else?  And is there any way that they will go completely flat in another 5 years?  I'm a small C now.

Thank you! Whew, relief!  I actually am fine with my C cup, I was spoiled before and thought my Ds were standard, I was ridiculously proud of them.  I just wouldn't want them much smaller since I have a bigger lower half, and I prefer to look proportional. I just have very thick legs so bigger boobs tend to make them look better.

This can happen and a "c" cup is a decent size.  Sounds like this is related to hormone fluctuations.  

Your breast didn't "shrink"; they went back to your natural size.  

Breasts change throughout a woman's life.  

Go completely flat?  No, they won't.
