Is It the Birth Control?
Posted: 04-11-07 19:44pm

Okay this is so random, and I feel like I should know this but I have absolutely no idea. I started birth control almost two weeks ago (tonight is my last night on the 2nd set of seven) Anyway, Sunday or Monday night I noticed that I thought my chest looked a little bigger, so when my boyfriend came over Tuesday I had him look and he said it did look a bit bigger but my nipples and my areala's (sp) looked as if they'd gotten bigger too (which, to be honest, makes me cringe my nipples are already large). I was wondering if the change in the hormones of the birth control would have made my chest grow, but even more if it'd make the nipples and area around them get larger too. I'd heard of a chest getting larger, but I'd never heard anyone say that their nipples had gotten bigger too. Tomorrow night I'll start the third hormone level, and I'm kind of curious as to if the increase in the hormones again will make the nipples (and even my chest) larger if it made them larger when there were less hormones.

If you need to know I'm on Ortho Tricyclen Lo, but I'm not really sure if that's important.

Any feed back would be great!

also, if it is the hormones in the BC will my chest reduce in size again during the placebo, and white pills (the ones with the lowest dosage of hormones)

.i had the same thing happen to me when .if first started ortho lo. .not much has changed since then and once your body adjusts to the hormones the growing will stop and possibly even reverse to your normal size.
