Is it true that birth control pills can lead to breast enlargement?

Answer 1

YES PLUS MANY OTHER SIDE EFFECTS THAT MAY NOT BE SO PLEASANT TO YOU.Side Effects of Birth Control Pills

Some women have side effects when taking birth control pills. If these side effects last for more than three months, talk to your doctor about changing to a brand of birth control pills that contains a different dose of hormones. Don't stop your pills without consulting your doctor and starting a new method of birth control. Side effects may include:

nausea
bloating
headaches
breast tenderness
bleeding between your periods
decreased libido
Very rarely, birth control pills can cause non-cancerous liver tumours. If you experience persistent pain in your abdomen while on birth control pills, you should see your doctor.

Blood Clots and the Risks of Cardiovascular Disease

Birth control pills that contain estrogen can increase your risk of having blood clots. This is a small risk for healthy women. Women who are at increased risk of cardiovascular problems, such as women over 35 who smoke, or women with high blood pressure increase their risk of heart attack or stroke if they also take birth control pills. They are often advised to use another method of birth control. Estrogen-containing birth control pills are not recommended for women who have or have had:

blood clots
heart disease
stroke
high blood pressure greater than 160/100
severe migraines
heart defects
Some women with diabetes may also be at risk. They should discuss their condition with their doctor prior to being prescribed birth control pills.

Answer 2

Hi, I wanted to tell you about my experience with the CurvyBust cream. I'm 24 years old and I've spent pretty much my whole life wishing I had slightly larger breasts. I'm normally a size A, I'd love to be a size B, especially when I wear certain kinds of low cut tops. I have a good figure, and I like what I have, but every now and then I would like a little bit more. Even if I had the money, (which I don't because I am a college student with loans to pay off), I would never consider going under the knife just to go up 1 cup size. So that's been my dilemma.
I found out about curvybust cream when I was flipping through (Yahoo Answers). To be honest with you, I'm not the type of girl who would consider spending money on a cream that promises to increase breast size. It just seems like an impossible thing to claim. But there were three reasons that I decided to go for it:

1) I contacted them via their website because I had a question about the cream being OK for sensitive skin (which it is, because it is made of natural botanical ingredients.)

2) I was really impressed by their customer service and willingness to explain everything to me. 3) They offered me a free 12 day supply with no obligation, (I just had to pay the shipping costs- I wasn't too thrilled with that but it was still worth it to get the free product).

Well, it's actually working! There is a noticeable difference in the size of my breasts! It's only been 10 days, and they say that the true final results won't appear until about the 4-6 month time frame, but based on what I can see, (and what my boyfriend can feel�) there's definitely a difference. My breasts are standing out more, and they are fuller and rounder. Sometimes I am able to go out without a bra, now I can't. And I have a feeling that I might have to actually buy new bras if the growth continues. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next month goes. There might actually be a size B in my future! Woohoo!

Answer 3

Sometimes, but it depends on the person. For me, I went up a cup size when I started the pills, but after a few months they went back down. I wouldn't take bcp solely to enlarge your breasts though.

Answer 4

Yes! And a whole lot of other problems also.

If breast cancer is part of your family history, you will want to AVOID these pills!!!

I lost a cousin who was only in her early twenties because this was not discussed with her.

My suggestion, do a lot of research, and speak with your GYN doc about other alternatives. This one may not be the best choice.

We are all individuals. Make sure you choose what's best for you!

Answer 5

yes. it has a lot to do with the fact that you gain weight on the pill too. and it does only last while you're on the pill, like the person above said. i took them for about a year and went off for just a few months. in those few months my weight dropped and breasts got smaller. i went back recently and im slowly seeing my weight get better (im pretty skinny so i dont mind the weight gain).

Answer 6

Yes, but it is temporary- it only lasts while you're taking the pills. The hormones cause the enlargement.

Answer 7

It's subtle, and it doesn't happen to every woman, but yes. The estrogen in the pill contributes to swelling of your breasts. I stay a c-cup whether on the pill or not, but it's a *big* c when on the pill.
