Hi, I'm only 22 years old....female. I went on the contraceptive pill and was on it for two years. However, I had to stop due to side effects such as really bad migraines and loss of libido. However, since I stopped a year ago, my breasts have decreased in size and my libido has not returned! What can I do to regain my breasts and my libido? PLease help me as my situation is really making me feel so old.
Breasts are enlarged when you're on the pill because it makes parts of your body act as if it's pregnant - if you have a kid, they'll probably be that size again! Not helpful, I know, but I don't think there's anything to be done about it.
Libido, though... so many variables. First is time; if you've only been off for a month or two I'd suggest waiting a bit for the hormones to fade completely. Of course, there are many different pills; I think the best thing to do would be to chat with whomever prescribed them to you; they certainly ought to know more than I.

Since coming off the pill hasn't improved your libido then I think you might have to look for another explanation. Have you had any uncomfortable experiences with sex? Is your relationship with your partner good? Do you even want to masturbate? If nothing occurs to you then I think it might be a good idea to talk to your gynaecologist.
