Girls, Did anyone else's boobs grow after one month on birth control?

[Anonymous]

I've been on birth control for a month (I was put on a really weak one bc it was for medical reasons only), but my bra size has increased from a 32F (UK) to at least a 32FF (UK)? I'm on "Lo Loestrin Fe" which is marketed as a low dose birth control, but they grew a size (although I measure as a 32G) which Iappreciate (I consider myself small-medium chestwise and love the boost), but I was wondering, is this actually a common side effect after 1 month? How much more growth should I expect? by the way, I'm past puberty, so it can't be that...

I've been on birth control of many sorts for almost a year (medical reasons) and I've noticed lately that my breasts are larger. I don't fit in my bras the way I used to and they're just overall bigger. I don't know whether to blame normal growing for it or the hormones. I just know I've hardly grown at all (overall) in well over a year so normal growth is kind of unlikely. I'm glad you brought this up because I'd never thought of it as being the hormones.

Thanks!

Yes. I had the the same thing happened to me when I started taking BP pills. But after a while I noticed I had also gained weight and my pants fit quite snugly...

I've lost weight a bit actually. I used to be like a size 10 and now i'm a size 6. I guess bc I also started going to the gym now, I fit perfectly into a size Small in some places..

I hear it's pretty normal if your boobs grow on BC.

I was on Yaz for two weeks and mine were swelling up but damn they hurt!! I got off Yaz because I don't trust it. I'm switching soon, and hopefully the next brand can my girls grow.

Yeah that's a common side effect of the pill, your breasts can swell a little more.

[Asker]

Yeah but all the reviews said they just became more tender/sensitive

[itsallover]

That happened to me too, but the effects vary depending on the girl. Some get larger boobs, and some don't..

Yes, estrogen based birth control does that. You're probably done after one size, though.

It's the hormones, whether a lot or little it can cause your boobs to grow, you to gain wait, loose weight, improved mood, etc. My boobs grew too when I was on birth control, I also gained weight., and found myself to be less moody.

[Asker]

I'm hoping they grow more than a bit more, I feel so bitty

It's not uncommon. It may or may not last.
