my doctor prescribed Alesse birth control for me and since it is a very lose dose of hormones i was just wondering if anyone has experienced an increase in breast size while on it. if so how much? i am very flat chested and am hoping there's still a chance that it might do me some good up top as an added bonus!

I was on Alesse a few years ago. I didn't gain weight and did not have bigger boobs. I think birth control affects every woman differently!

i know each person reacts differently but i was just kinda curious if the majority of people who replied to this had any luck or not. so far not really. hopefully more people will reply though.

Although i've never been alesse, almost all bc i've been i've noticed some change. However, i only really noticed the size change in latter part of the month (water weight) and dissapointingly enough, that went away on my off week... So even if your boobs do grow, chances are they will go down on your off week. One note, i did notice after switching to Yasmin a while ago, my boobs are still "bigger" (if you want to call them that) yet they don't hurt and they are like that all month... But that could just have been one of my growths, yet not sure. I've heard of women growing from a half cup to a whole cup size. Each women's experience is different. BC is not an effective way to get bigger boobs... Hate to say it becase i'm in the same boat as you ;-)

I haven't read the other replies, but I've been on Alesse for over three years and I am also very flat-chested, and I haven't had any breast growth, ever, at all. Of course everyone is different, and you might be "lucky" that way, but still - don't be disappointed if they don't grow. Also keep in mind, even if they do, it won't be permanent and will only last as long as you're on the pill.

Hey

I literally just began taking Alesse this Sunday for the first time. My boobs kind of ache a little bit..not sure what that means but if it's boobie growth that can only be a good thing! Everyone reacts different, I'm interested to see how this temporary boob growth turns out. I'll let you know!!

Ciao for now.

I just started taking Alesse 2 1/2 weeks ago, getting ready to finish my first pack. My breast have gotten larger, and long with that, very painful. Ironically, I do not want bigger breast though! I'm a full C cup, so I went on the lower dose pill hoping this would not happen. Everyone reacts differently to it. It has increased my hunger, which I also do not want to happen. Why don't you try Ortho tri cylcen-Low? I have had on and off again cramping, which is very weird. Has anyone ever had cramps from BC?
