Does Birth Control Increase Breast Size?

[Anonymous]

Hey, this question is generally for girls but guys if you have experienced results with your gfs/wives/mates/spouses, feel free to chime in lol So yeah, I'm a 32B but I DESPERATELY WANT BIGGER BOOBS. I'm almost 20 and I want to feel better about my appearance. I want to be a bit more comfortable in my own skin and I can't because I hate looking at my boobs because their so small =( I want to be able to fill out tops better and buy certain items and wear revealing tops. I want to be able to strip down in front of my boyfriend and be not the least bit self-conscious because I know I look hot and he's not thinking that my boobs are too small. (he tells me they're perfect how they are and I don't need to change them; he likes that they're perky... but I still know he wouldn't mind them being a bit larger, ultimately the goal is for me to be more comfortable) SO, my question is does birth control really increase breast size? Girls, have you experienced growth after going on the pill? If so, was it permanent? Or did you shrink after you stopped? Also, what did you use? Or if you have friends that have been on BC, tell me about their experiences? Also, would you recommend BCP? Why or why not? Thx in advance guys =)

My advice to help you feel better about your chest is to take a leaf out of the book of those who aren't in general self conscious about their chests. I'm not talking about those models with their airbrushed silicone enhanced 'breasts', I'm talking about us guys. I know society as a rule does tend to treat them differently but bear with me. The point I want to discuss is why us guys as a rule couldn't care less about who sees them with no top on.

For starters, I'm sure you've been on a beach and seen many guys of all shapes and attractiveness walking about without a care in the world. The question is therefore why would some guys who don't look like Brad Pitt, walk about like that. Media pressure aside the main reason I can think is that throughout their lives they have had their chests implicitly 'judged' by people and realized that other peoples reactions aren't actually as bad as they thought, as with the possible exception of a few assholes most people probably said nothing. While I know for females it slightly different as it’s not the 'done' thing for girls to walk about topless, I observed on several occasions that beaches in europe that some women of all shapes and sizes couldn't give a crap who sees them as the same principle applied (If a person considered them attractive they got their ego stroke by the occasional glance or if the weren't considered attractive they didn't get anything said to them i.e. it was either positive or neutral feedback).

So getting back to how this related to you. First, you are most likely the harshest judge of yourself. This leads to insecurities as you think everyone will be as harsh as you on yourself. So how do you correct this incorrect bias in how the world views you?

First get other peoples views on them, ask your boyfriend ask a good friend etc. If you're uncomfortable with your boyfriend seeing them go a step further, go to a topless beach, when you realize the world didn't end, doing something easier like letting your boyfriend see you won't be a big deal.

Second, do the old fake it till you make it and if someone sees you topless act like you don't give a crap. Why? If someone sees you looking awkward they'll feel awkward which will make you feel very self conscious. If you act like you don't give a crap it'll completely diffuse the situation, worst that'll happen is they think you're odd for not covering yourself. After a few occasions like that you probably will actually stop giving a crap.

If these are too difficult to do at the start, start of small, take off your bra when you’re inside your house or hanging out in private with your boyfriend, when your on your own in your room be topless as much as possible so you get used to seeing yourself, at the gym use communal changing/showering, don’t do the towel dance and when you’re going from shower to locker only wrap the towel around your waist.

If you try these suggestions you may get a reputation for being odd but you’ll realize people are commenting on your actions and not your looks. I’m not gonna say it’ll be easy to change your perceptions of yourself, and my suggestions are probably somewhat hypocritical, but the important things never are. TL:DR Don’t worry about what BC will do to your breasts and face your fears and they’ll most probably evaporate. You have a boyfriend who likes you just as you are, count your blessings.

No

And it is such a turn off when women are obsessed with having big boobs. Men dont' care about your chest size. If I see one more show about some chick getting implants, I've gonna put my fist through the TV. Men like any kind of boobs, what does it take 2 get through to you women, do I need a tumpet?

Speak for yourself.

Lmfao at the trumpet bit hahaha

Cartiphilus, it is men like you that make women so insecure. QA, men will love your body just the way it is, breast are NOT needed. Ignore pigs like Cartiphilus, he does not understand the pain woman go through when they feel like their body isn't good enough. Makes me furious.

thank you anonymous =) you seem like a real sweet guy, reminds me of my boyfriend

[HexMonkey]

Thank you!! Gosh people just wait for your chest to grow! NO MORE TRANSPLANTS. It makes your boob ugly looking. I'm just a regular person not caring what my chest look like. And dude i agree i do think men don't care what kind of size your chest is. Men probably like every kind of boob there is OK. Sorry people but i'm tired of those girls getting injections in their butts ad boobs!

yes it does make them bigger usually at least in my experience it has

it shrinks back down after you stop

dont take BCP just to make your boobs bigger though, just take it if you have sex or if you want the other benefits you get from it.

if you do decide to go on the pill, DO NOT TAKE YAZ I repeat DONT TAKE IT the sh*t you see on TV and the lawsuits and stuff, its all real, yaz gave me heart problems and f***ed me up, it's bad news and honestly I think it should be illegal, it was that bad. don't do it. ortho tri cyclen lo was the best one I experienced, I've been on 4 diff kinds.

I'm a 32A and I've been taking the pill for 4 years. I was a 32A when I started the pill and I'm a 32A now. Taking the pill won't necessarily increase your breast size. I was hoping it'd increase mine when I started taking it and it didn't...it did however get rid of the awful headaches I had a few days before I got my period and my period went from 7 days to 3-4 days.

[saphirasilverwings]

I'm a 32A. I'm ultimately okay with them and my boyfriend claims to adore them :) I am on birth control and I haven't noticed any significant change to my breasts. But, I've only been on it for a few months.

I wouldn't take birth control JUST for that reasons. There are side effects and risks, and you may quite possibly not notice any change.

[pandaninja]

yes, yes and of course yes! birth control sent my girlfriend from dd to f cup and my best friend from c to d cup its because of all the hormones

[Lucky1227]

I am not on BC anymore BUT when I was on it my boobs got bigger, I was a 36 B and then became a 34 C

[Asker]

well, technically you didn't get bigger ... I work at victoria's secret and a 36B and 34C are virtually the same size .. a 34C just fits a bit more snug around your ribs than a 36B ... the increase in cup size and the decrease in band size pretty much cancel each other out, we call them sister sizes... you most likely think they're bigger now because they're probably perkier now, or you're a little bit thinner but thanks for your input nonetheless =)

It can, but not necessarily. Also the pill can make you gain weight too.
