Bra shopping

This is rather a silly question, but I've heard breast enlargement is a possible side effect of the pill and am wondering how long it takes before you would notice any significant increase. I started taking Nordette (five days into it now,) and am in desperate need of new lingerie, just wondering how long I should hold off on shopping as I don't want to waste money on bras that won't fit.

For most women there isn't enough increase to warrant changing bra sizes unless you're close to needing to get into a bigger cup anyway. But if it's going to happen, it will happen within the next couple of weeks and you'll know it because they'll be really tender. One thing to remember too is that when you stop taking this particular pill, any increase will leave. I had my biggest breasts (a whole 34 C) while I was taking Ortho Cyclen, and I'm back to my pre-pill size (34-36 B) with Nuvaring.
I'm not sure if that helps, but you might try to hang out for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Good luck!
