Breast size and BC

I was wondering if the hormones in BC have anything to do, or could have anything to do with an increase in breast size. I've been on the pill since February of 2002, and in April of 2002 none of my tops fit anymore. I'm always self-concious of my chest because I feel like it's too big for my body. (I know some of you WISH you had that problem, but for me it's the other way around.) I am currenly not on BC because I'm in the middle of switching methods. I almost want to wait a month to see if I have any reduction in breast size, but if that isn't a connection, then it's not worth the risk. I started college during those months too, so I figured it was college weight-gain.

Anyone know anything else about this?

I went up a cup size since starting BC, but I have also gained a little weight with college starting (which is finally starting to come off, but I'm still a cup size bigger than when I started 3 years ago). So, I can't totally say if it was one, the other, or a combo of both. You're not alone though!

Yes, the pill can change your breast size.
