What birth control causes your boobs to be bigger?

Question

Just curious because I am on birth control (mini pills) and I don’t think my boobs will become bigger but I hope they will 🥲 they’re small and don’t even fit an a cup.

Answer

Didn't for me but it might for some people.

Answer

It depends on how the contraception effects you and your own hormones, there is no specific contraception that will make your boobs grow and whether your boobs grow or not isn’t really a factor when deciding an appropriate contraception.
There are more important factors to consider like: how effective is it? How regular do you need to get/take the contraception? How do you take the contraception?
I personally am very limited in my options as I cannot have oestrogen. I currently have the Implant (nexaplanon), which is a small bar inserted into your arm via general anaesthetic and a needle, it is changed every 3 years and removed with a slight medical procedure. Imo it wasn’t painful to put in and is low maintenance seeing as I don’t have to do anything with it. However, it did take awhile for my body to get used to it; I bled on and off for the first 3 months and was really heavy, then my periods were irregular and painful, but after about a year my periods have settled and are really light. As for mood changes I am unsure if it has worsened my mood slightly and possibly lowered my sex drive - but this could be due to other life stresses such as a pandemic and preexisting mental health issues.
My advice to you would be to research the contraception and decided which suits you best.
- For example, one of my other options was the mini pill (progesterone only) the issue with this is the fact you have to take it every day at the same time for full effectiveness and some people believe it is less effective than the combined pill.
- Another option would be the non-hormonal coil (IUD), which although it can last up to 3-5 years, it is a very invasive and painful insertion method. But because it has no hormones it means it might not contribute to mood swings, acne and other side effects. However, it may not help with periods if they are an issue. There is also the hormonal coil (IUS) which works the same as the IUD bur has hormones meaning it might help with periods. 
- there is also the contraceptive shot (depo shot) which requires injections every 3 months (12 weeks) which can be painful and there are issues that it may effect your body long term having needles injected to it a lot. It can also take awhile for fertility to return to normal afterwards. It is also hormonal so come with standard side effects such as mood swings, acne, weight gain etc.
- Another method, one that I can’t use, is a contraceptive patch that just sticks to your arm and has to be changed every 3 weeks. The issue with this, is it is a very visible form of contraception and also has to be changed regularly. Again It’s hormonal and has oestrogen, so may cause weight gain, mood swings, acne etc.
- Then of course there is natural cycle method which has no hormones but you have to know yo ur cycle inside and out and be pretty regular to make sure you’re not having sex during ovulation, which can be tricky if you are young and/or have irregular periods.
- Finally, there is condoms both make and Female, the issue with this is you have to buy them as they only have one time use and they can break. However they are recommend as they protect against STDs and HPV. Ideally, you should use condoms alongside another contraceptive to make sure you are proceed against unwanted pregnancy and disease.

Answer

It’s not common at all and not a big difference but I believe estrogen is what causes that, so the mini pill won’t.
