Q: Birth Control and breast growth

asked by: Amykins on June 3rd, 2009

New User

I started using birth control in may of 2006. It has worked wonderfully, i have yet to get pregnant, and can predict my cycles for the whole year. however, there is one major side effect. When i started I was a full C cup. Now I am a full DD, and I am probably going to have to go up to an E. I have not gained significant weight, I have maybe gained 5 lbs since i started three years ago.... but my breasts will not stop growing. is this a problem? I actually dont enjoy them being this big, I take ortho tricyclen-lo, havent even changed the dose since i started. I guess i am asking, will they ever stop, or do i have to go off the pill for it to stop?

I'm sure at some point they will stop growing Smile

You may want to talk to your doctor, he will be able to suggest something. Otherwise a different pill might fix things.

This breast increase should be already at constant level after three years of use.
You may talk with your gyn for switching to other type of contraception.
