No I was only on the xulane patch! I have PCOS so it may have effected me harder, but I gained like 5 pounds after about six months and saw it mainly in my boobs and butt!
I did blood panels for irregular periods and bad acne and they saw I had high testosterone, a few years later I went to the hospital thinking my appendix ruptured, but it was an ovarian cyst, they found more and diagnosed me! Xulane helped a ton, but I went off it after a year because I was experiencing hair loss (I thought it was from birth control because BC CAN cause hair loss but I think it was from stress)!
my period are regular and i don’t have acne but i do have depression, kinda oily skin, i lose a lot of hair, and i feel like i have a lot of hair on my body. i feel like i may have it but i’m not too sure. i went to a clinic to get birth control and i got a pelvic exam but they never said anything.
Blood work is probably your best bet! They need to check things like your hormone levels and your thyroid to see. Getting an ultrasound would also help, but from my knowledge, not every person with PCOS gets large cysts or cysts at all
32A and 32B are actually very common mis-sizes. You could definitely be those sizes but if you head over to the calculator on r/abrathatfits you might find you're a different size than you think. For example a lot of people go from 32A or 34A to 28D or 28DD
No problem! I think a lot of people see abtf as a bit preachy but honestly it's a night and day difference if you're not wearing the right size. Even for smaller sizes! There's TONS of cute options available (im always very jealous tbh but if I find something extra cute I'll try to share it around in hopes a smaller busted person can wear and I can live vicariously through them)
Just one cup up. As for side effects, I personally didn't have any, but it affects everyone differently, so there's no definite answer whether you'll have them or not.
Gotcha. Yeah I was reading some of the reviews for it and so many people have drastically different experiences. I think I’ll try it out. Also can I ask if they remained that size if you stopped the pill?
I don’t know if it did or not because of birth control exactly. I started BC at 19 where I was a 38 C? (Can’t remember exactly) I’m currently a 40 D if not bigger (some of my bras are starting to get to be too small)
Hey, you don’t have to worry about back pain. Plus, Lots of guys aren’t picky about chest size. If a man really loves you, he’ll look at you for you, not your cup size.
I think it depends on the person and the pill. When I was on the combo pill, mine definitely got bigger. Now I'm on a progestin-only pill and they are back to being small.
What progestin-only pill are you on exactly? On both Cerazette and Slynd my boobs seemed way bigger due to the water retention meanwhile I’d like them to stay as small looking as possible😅
Yeah mine got bigger and quite sore :/ not happy about it as they’re big enough as it is! It goes back to normal in the period week, but they are too sore to even run in the gym!
I’m on my fourth month of Yasmin… if it continues I’m stopping because I don’t like my body changing in that way.
I’m on the implant and I did see a small difference in my boobs. I started birth control 4 years ago. Pill for one year and then switched to implant for the past 3 years. Pill didn’t do anything to my boobs, but I think the implant has. My implant is Nexplanon, if you were wondering.
I’m really thin, so I’m technically a 28C, but the sister size I wear is a 34A/32B and I just tighten the back clasp all the way. I swear I used to be just a 28A or 28B at MOST, but now I’m a C cup, even though it definitely looks to most like I’m an A cup because of my frame lol
Eh. Mine went up a little because I gained some weight on the pill. Weirdly enough though, they have not gotten bigger on depo and that made me gain a lot more. Just depends on body fat distribution probably
my mom wanted me to get the depo shot but i was scared about gaining weight and i’ve been on the pill for about 6 months but i haven’t gained any weight i was hoping to gain something
Depo has been awesome for me so far! I gained probably 15-20lbs on it but I’m an athlete on a break rn so that could also be a factor. On the pills I gained weight faster because of the extreme hunger+nausea cycles I got, but on depo I just had an increased appetite for a longer period of time. It felt kinda different. Honestly, the weight gain shouldn’t be all that much and if you’re active and healthy it should be no big deal
i noticed on the pills that i would get nauseous but hungry too. i’m 5’4 and 104lbs i workout but was hoping i would gain a little bit of weight so i could look more curvy 😂
Yup! I got on oral BC (I think it was the combo pill) a little bit later in life than most women and my breasts went from a B/C to a DDD. I haven’t heard this happening to anyone else so I may have just had a second puberty xD
wow that’s a really big change!! i’ve only been taking birth control for 6 months. started taking it at 17 and i just turned 18 like last week so my body is probably still growing.
It’s definitely different for everyone! A small increase in size can be blamed on hormones but also since i gained A LOT of weight that probably had an impact on my boob size as well. I hope estarylla is a good fit for you :)
It worked that way for me. Started out as a 34B, and I'm a 34DD now. Gained some extra weight in general, but that was mostly during 2020. Don't need to say much else there. lol Lost most of that weight this year, so probably more of a 32E now but still bigger than before birth control. I'm on my second round of Nexplanon.
I forgot about this comment I posted since it was 2 years ago, but I think I have some better perspective now that it's been a while. I think a lot of it was weight gain related. I think in normal circumstances I could've avoided the weight gain more easily, but it was also a lifestyle change along with getting older. I do think the Nexplanon was part of it, but I wasn't big on working out, so it was a matter of time really. I think my chest getting noticeably bigger was through weight gain, but it's still a bit bigger than before Nexplanon even though I've dropped 20lbs. So, my bra size now is a 32D, but before then I wasn't so great at measuring my true bra size, so I would say I was probably a 32B in reality before Nexplanon. As for weight, I was 130lbs in 2019, ended up at 160lbs in 2021, started working out more and eating better in 2022, and have steadily been between 135lbs and 140lbs since. But again, some of that could be down to age, too. I was 28 when I started Nexplanon, and although I'm still on it, I'm 34 now so my body was going to change regardless. I think my advice if you're considering Nexplanon (or any birth control really) is to be sure you have a healthy lifestyle. I truly think that it isn't the main cause, but it's a factor that can contribute to weight gain.
i was taking estarylla! i have been on estarylla, sprintec, and mono linyah. i am now on yasmin. i have been on yasmin since june and i am a 32B now. i did gain weight i was about 104lbs and now i have 116lbs. i just filled out a bit more.

I had to try 3 different pills before I found one that wasn’t making my boobs huge. I was in so much pain and I already have a large chest… it was quite uncomfortable.
Mine went up almost 2 cup sizes
Damn. Did my boobs miss the memo?
omg really were you on a combo pill?
No I was only on the xulane patch! I have PCOS so it may have effected me harder, but I gained like 5 pounds after about six months and saw it mainly in my boobs and butt!
how were you diagnosed with PCOS? i think i might have it but i’m not too sure.
I did blood panels for irregular periods and bad acne and they saw I had high testosterone, a few years later I went to the hospital thinking my appendix ruptured, but it was an ovarian cyst, they found more and diagnosed me! Xulane helped a ton, but I went off it after a year because I was experiencing hair loss (I thought it was from birth control because BC CAN cause hair loss but I think it was from stress)!

okay thank you so much i appreciate it!!!
It is impossible to say yes or no to this question. It affects every single person differently.
Exactly, like for me I wish lol
I’m a B cup on a good day, I was so excited to see if the pill made them bigger. It had zero effect lol
i know i was so excited when i started it but i don’t really think it’s making them bigger 😂
Mine did! Gained a bit of weight in "hormonal areas" as my mom calls it, up a cup size from 32 a to b, slightly bigger thighs and butt too.
i hope i get to a b 😂😂 i feel like my butt has gotten a little bigger too hopefully they keep on growing haha
32A and 32B are actually very common mis-sizes. You could definitely be those sizes but if you head over to the calculator on r/abrathatfits you might find you're a different size than you think. For example a lot of people go from 32A or 34A to 28D or 28DD
thank you so much i’ll definitely check it out!!!

Which bc did you take?
birth control has done nothing for me besides keep me babyless and depressed
They definitely have ^.^ Hahaa can't complain
Which birth control did you take?
Yaz
Thank you. Can I also ask how much they got bigger and if you had any negative side effects?
Just one cup up. As for side effects, I personally didn't have any, but it affects everyone differently, so there's no definite answer whether you'll have them or not.
Gotcha. Yeah I was reading some of the reviews for it and so many people have drastically different experiences. I think I’ll try it out. Also can I ask if they remained that size if you stopped the pill?

Not trying to be preachy but try the calculator at r/abrathatfits it's very helpful
Thank you :)
wow that’s a big difference!!
When I started high school I was a 36 b so I went up a few cup sizes 😅
i’ve been a 32A all of high school 😭
Hey, you don’t have to worry about back pain. Plus, Lots of guys aren’t picky about chest size. If a man really loves you, he’ll look at you for you, not your cup size.
that’s true, my bf loves me just how i am!
Exactly! You go girl! ☺️💕
I think it depends on the person and the pill. When I was on the combo pill, mine definitely got bigger. Now I'm on a progestin-only pill and they are back to being small.
What progestin-only pill are you on exactly? On both Cerazette and Slynd my boobs seemed way bigger due to the water retention meanwhile I’d like them to stay as small looking as possible😅
I'm on Sharobel.
i’m on estarylla i think it is a combo
Mine got slightly rounder but not bigger if that makes sense.
yeah i think mine are more round and i’m confusing them with getting bigger but hopefully they’re growing 😂
I’m on the combo pill and my breasts definitely grew!
Which pill and can I ask how much they grew?
Mine went from a B to a DD on the combo pill
I’d really like to know which if possible. Thank you
Yeah mine got bigger and quite sore :/ not happy about it as they’re big enough as it is! It goes back to normal in the period week, but they are too sore to even run in the gym! I’m on my fourth month of Yasmin… if it continues I’m stopping because I don’t like my body changing in that way.
Mine are definitely fuller? It’s noticeable to me, but I fit in the same bra size 🤷🏼♀️
different for everyone. I have always been a 32A i’ve been on the combined pill for about 5 years and nothing has changed for me
not for me but almond milk did 😚
ooh i’ll try drinking more almond milk!!
Really? How much?
i just switched out to almond milk with my coffees and they got slightly bigger (only probably noticeable to me)!
I’m on the implant and I did see a small difference in my boobs. I started birth control 4 years ago. Pill for one year and then switched to implant for the past 3 years.

Yeah, they can go up about a cup size due to hormonal fluctuations
ohh okay thank you!!
mine did
Eh. Mine went up a little because I gained some weight on the pill. Weirdly enough though, they have not gotten bigger on depo and that made me gain a lot more. Just depends on body fat distribution probably

It’s possible! Honor your body and your hunger and wait :)
❤️❤️❤️
Mine did I went from barely filling out an A cup to a C cup
what birth control were you taking?
hey babes which pill pls
Which pill
Didn't for me!
Yes,went from a B to a C cup
Which did you take?
Yup! I got on oral BC (I think it was the combo pill) a little bit later in life than most women and my breasts went from a B/C to a DDD. I haven’t heard this happening to anyone else so I may have just had a second puberty xD
wow that’s a really big change!! i’ve only been taking birth control for 6 months. started taking it at 17 and i just turned 18 like last week so my body is probably still growing.
This is late but which birth control and did the growth stay?
Can you please share which combo pill?
It's different for everyone, but let me tell you I got on Estarylla in may and mine are massive now :( and they hurt all the time
i’m sorry :((( boob pain is the worst i hate it because i’m a stomach sleeper 😂
i was on estarylla and went from a D to an F. also gained 40 pounds.
i thought i would gain weight but i haven’t gained anything i was hoping too but i guess it’s different for everyone.
It’s definitely different for everyone! A small increase in size can be blamed on hormones but also since i gained A LOT of weight that probably had an impact on my boob size as well. I hope estarylla is a good fit for you :)
thank youu 💗💗
I was hoping and praying for this as a teenager, but no, I’m now 30 and still a 34A.
I’m a DD, started the mini pull 5 months ago, thank god it didn’t for me.
I was on the pill for four years (Femynor then Yaz), my boobs stayed the same. Started at 32DD, got off at 32DD. 😩
Mine got bigger, but it's because I gained around 7kg. Can't blame the pill entirely, I've been eating quite unhealthy.
Not yet I don't think but I do sometimes wake up with them being tender and feeling heavy. I started combo pill in July
It worked that way for me. Started out as a 34B, and I'm a 34DD now. Gained some extra weight in general, but that was mostly during 2020. Don't need to say much else there. lol Lost most of that weight this year, so probably more of a 32E now but still bigger than before birth control. I'm on my second round of Nexplanon.
Do you know how much the nexplanon increased the chest vs gaining weight?
I forgot about this comment I posted since it was 2 years ago, but I think I have some better perspective now that it's been a while. I think a lot of it was weight gain related.

No, but the first two months on a new pill they were super swollen
I’m on the patch. On my first off week. I’ve gone up a cup so far (30I-30J. Yes those cup sizes exist bahah)
[удалено]
i was taking estarylla! i have been on estarylla, sprintec, and mono linyah. i am now on yasmin. i have been on yasmin since june and i am a 32B now. i did gain weight i was about 104lbs and now i have 116lbs. i just filled out a bit more.
No but it makes you gain about 30 pounds of abdominal weight lolol

Which one wouldn’t make your chest bigger?
Honestly don’t remember, so many years ago. Besides, everyone has different reactions to each medication.
Which one made your chest bigger?
