Hey, for the last few weeks now my boobs have really hurt, i came off the pill about 1/2months ago and due to docs thinking other problems where linked. I have still been have sex, using a condom and boyfriend has been very carefull but the docs found out i had a urinary track infection.
Can anyone tell me what could be causing this?
Thanks x

Hey, im goin to be 16 soon and im woried that my breasts are not growing at a normal rate. They started growing last year in febuary. Since march last year they haven't grown at all and are a size 32a. For my age iam very small around 4ft and i eat a lot but dont put any weight on at all. my periods are regular and fine. Im worried there is something wrong with my bodie. Do you no anyreasons for this? and are there any things i can do to help them grow?
My left breast is alot smaller than my right one and it's so embarrassing! I can't go swimming because it shows through my costume and I'm embarrassed infront of my boyfriend. Will my left breast grow and catch up with the other one?

im 14 and 15 in a few months. im quite skinny and havent got any boobs yet. i havent started my periods and im the only one in my year that is flat chested. it makes me really upset as i feel so different. i eat ALOT so i dont understand why im not putting on any weight and worst of all, not starting my periods. i feel so young and i seem to still have the body of a 10 year old. i have no hips and no boobs. could this be to do with my weight even though i eat lots?
im am 15 and i hate my boobs because they too big and i get bulled because of and when guy see me they think i am easy.and they look horrilbe what can i do that will make look smaller and get it to look nicer.
I am 14, and 15 in 8 months, and my boobs are small! I am only about a 32a. Everyone else at my school my age have big boobs, and i feel like i have to cover myself up because it makes me feel intimidated – even girls below my age! I know we all start at differnt ages and were all different, but now they don't seem to be growing. I have only just started my periods about 2 months ago. Could this affect them?
