Post-birth control
I wrote a couple months ago about coming off Xulane patches. I know at least one person wanted to know how I fared, so here goes.
I just finished my second cycle w/o the hormones. I have not had any boob loss, in fact, I've had a fractional gain. Likely leftover from my period, hard to tell. I haven't had any weight loss either. My waist to hip difference has passed 13". It was ~11" pre-birth control. I look like a fat Betty Boop. XD
My acne has returned, which sucks. And my libido hasn't, which sucks more. My periods returned almost completely back to normal immediately other than the timing, which scared the crapola out of me. 5 days late the first month, yikes!
If there was anything I forgot or you wanna know, just ask.

when i went off BC years back, i had really bad acne and found that taking a tablespoon of flax seed oil every day cleared it up, it takes a week or so to get the toxins in ur skin all "pushed" out. but it's worth it! :)
I've been thinking about getting off BC (the pill, in my case, which has cleared up some acne but also makes me crazy around good old PMS time) and have been nervous that my size could change as well - mostly that I'd shrink and that all my bras would be totally different. I'm glad to hear you haven't had that experience!
