Will Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo Cause My Boobs to Explode?
Posted: 12-10-04 15:54pm

So about a week and a half before my period my boobs have a hormonal rebellion. I get what I like to call "cement boobs" where they become as hard as, well, cement and swell up to fill an a cup (which is a big deal...For me). They seem to be growing a little each month, too (which is almost worth the soreness).

I'm starting ortho tri-cyclen lo soon and I just was curious if any of you girls could tell me if this is going to cause my boobs to turn to cement and swell up like crazy. Just from your personal experiences and educated guesses...Thanks!

Mine grew a little bit, not a whole lot. They're still sore right before my period, like usual... No cement syndrom though... Maybe you should ask your doctor about that... Question

I just started ortho tri-cyclen lo about two weeks ago and my boobs have "exploded" too, as you put it. They're kind of small to start, so its probably not a big difference, but they seem huge. I had the same thing happening before my period before I started the pill, too, so I wasn't terribly surprised when this happened. Its just a pain that it appears to be a perminant thing now. So I guess if its an abonormal thing, you're not the only one.

On the plus side, I think the ortho tri-cyclen lo is supposed to be a lot lower hormone dose, so maybe you won't keep having the problem when you switch.
