BCP for boobs - again

I know this has been asked before but we've had a lot of newcomers recently and just wondered what people's experience with BCPs has been. I'm taking Dianette and seem to be bigger since starting but I'm doing nearly everything else as well so diffcult to say! Now the doctor wants me to have this for six more months before going on to something weaker.
Has anyone noticed boob growth then loss with any particular BCP i.e. while taking the same brand?
Has anyone noticed the above when switching brands?
Has anyone had permanent growth from a brand they no longer take?
Has anyone had shrinkage? Scream!

Hi,
Sorry, this doesn't give you any direct answers to your questions, but thought this would bump it up to the top for you.
I've been on Cilest for 4 months and have increase 1 inch and 1/2. Have put on half a stone also.
My friend swop from Microgynon to Yasmin and lost 10 pounds and gain 1 inch boob size.

Hi, I initially started BCP with something which i believe was quite weak - called Sequila. This had absolutely no effect on my body shape whatsoever, but I took this for a couple of months and then switched to Dianne and have been on Dianne for more than 3 years now. When I first took it I did notice an increase in bust size (but back then I was never interested in NBE) but it would have been a couple of inches I'd say. But back then I was still going through puberty so I don't know whether my gain was due to the Dianne or not. But then again I was very skinny, with a very low BMI and having been on Dianne, my BMI was 18 (and this was after I gained weight on it). Again, I don't know whether the weight gain of a few pounds was primarily due to the BCP itself or my natural growing.
However within the last 2 years I really haven't noticed much of a difference in my boobs and/or shape.

I've taken three different kinds of BCP, and they all had different effects on BE ... when I was on Yasmin - there was no change at all, for some reason this pill made me feel like not eating so I think I actually lost weight while I was on it( I would not recommend this pill at all). I'm on Marvelon 28 ( it's also called Desogen too) at the moment, and it has made my boobs bigger, by nearly a cup, the problem is, when I use the non active pills they get smaller. I was wondering if your bra size could be permamnently increased by using only BCP too. I don't think that you can, I have a friend who has been on a certain BCP since she was about 15 because she had skin problems and they also gaver her bigger boobs but when she stopped taking them they got smaller and she also lost weight. I'm sure that there might be some information around about it though.

Also - just to add, it says in alot of the brochures of BCP's, that one of the initial side of effects of taking them is breast soreness, and change in size - which is meant to last for about 6 months at the most, what I've found with the Desogen which I've only taken for about 5 months is that my greatest bust size increase was between the 2nd and 3rd month, and then after that it has been up and down ... and probably my boobs are not the same size as they were at the beginning of taking the BCP. But still they are bigger than when not taking them at all. I think that this is because your body gets used to the new hormones.
Hope that helps! I would love to find a BCP which gave me a permanent enlargement ... it probably has something to do with the amount of estrogen and progestron that each one has ...excuse my spelling too.

Hi all!
Black Sheep - how long did it take you to grow a cup size on Marvelon? I've been on it for 2 months and grew a inch and a half - been on antibiotics for the last 3 days and it's all gone! I'm so upset. I am going to try NBE with just Marvelon and massage with borage, fenugreek, fennel and hops, so i'll let you know how I get on! I was going to do this for 3 months, but will have to start all over again when I've taken the evil, deflating antibiotics.
I've asked this q before, but has anyone on BCP had any growth from taking WU whilst on BCP?
All the best,
Cecilia

Have a look at the doctor's info online for the antibiotic you took, it probably caused boob loss by diuretic action which means that your big fast gain was just water retention sadly. Often if you have a big gain suddenly it's just water, which is why a lot of people think they have growth as the month goes by and then lose it after their period.

uhm if i may ask do you really *have* to take the antibiotic? it's probably the most over-prescribed thing by far and in like 90% of the cases unnecessary. antibiotics cause massive digestion problems and can give you food allergies you'll be fighting for years to come! if it's for anything like a yeast infection, with antibiotics the problem will actually get worse shortly after you've stopped taking them!!! i hope you've researched your malady on the 'net and know that antibiotics is indeed the only way to go..

Hi Cecilia,
I'm happy that you have had success with Marvelon too!
Generally, anitbiotics make BCP less effective and that's why you have to wait 7 days after taking to have sex again without barrier contraception. At least that's what it says in the brochure, the same thing happened to me actually ... and it took about another month for my boobs to get back to the size they were before taking the antibiotics. So don't worry it's temporary.
I'm using my BCP as a base for my boob growth since it seems to be working for me ... and I'm adding heaps of protein and some herbs. I don't have enough time for massage ... but I might try using cocoa butter and vitamin e later.

Hi all!
Rebecca - you've cheered me up so much! I hope it does come back in a month.
I'm not sure about the gain being due to water retention because after each period I've had since being on marvelon (only 2) I have kept the gains, whereas before I was on the pill the gains I got towards the end of the moth totally diasappeared after my period - so I am keeping my fingers crossed big time!!!
I had to take the antibiotics unfortuately beacuse I have a recurring throat infection that just won't go and I sing, so I need it gone. However I've had to stop taking them now cos after I came on the forum last night I was really ill all night and was feeling sick, getting unexplained, bruises and feeling really tired (which are all side effects of the antibiotics I was perscribed). I'm hoping that this wierd reaction means that my growth will come back after the antibiotics have left my system and I've taken marvelon for a few more months.
Best wishes and good luck to everyone.
Thanks for making me feel better about the deflating!
Cecilia

when i was 16 i was on microgyn 30 and was very slender and didnt have much boob (although more than i do now) and was on this untill i was 20. in four years i probably put on a stone and a half but my boobs also went to a very full b maybe c. i think it was highly due to the pill as i have been off it for about six months and gone back to 98lbs...on pill went up to 8 and a half stone.
Ive now been on cerazette (sp?), the mini pill for nearly 3 months and havnt put any weight on and i think it has given me a bit of boob but i lost all mine with weight loss. sadly the mini pill is also renouned for giving you bad skin and either stopping you having periods or just making you bleed all the time. so i dont recommend it!!

nnifnnif - sounds like you are quite thin! depends, of course, on what your height is, but 98lbs generally speaking is too thin for successful BE...

I had permanent growth years ago on ortho-tricyclen. I was a tiny 90 pounds yet had overflowing D cup/nearly DD. well all that was gone after having kids and breastfeeding. but If I had never had kids or breastfed i'm sure they'd still be there. now (many years later) I have started yasmin and not noticed any significant change since starting. I have heard about yasmin causing overnight breast increase, not happening here... but who knows might work for some. maybe I should get back on the ortho.

I was 19 or 20 and a prior c cup. I remember i did gain a few pounds but i needed to and was still way too skinny even though. who knows maybe I was going to grow anyway. i may try it again in a few months after giving yasmin a good try, been 2 months so far. if I do switch i will be sure to post any results.
