Question 1

Accepted Answer

Common: some BC pills can cause breast fullness or engorgement.

Question 2

onset of flat, visible blue green veins both arms, chest, and breasts.  just started necon birth control 1 wk before veins noticed. connection/concern?

Accepted Answer

There should: Be no relationship to visible veins and the birth control pill.  The risk of a blood clot is low and does not present this way.  I think you are focusing too hard on possible side effects.  Good luck.

Question 3

few months into using birth control for first time ( to regulate periods) and since using them have developed sore breasts and bulging veins on body. ?

Accepted Answer

See below: Birth control pills can cause breast soreness. This tends to decrease after being on the pill for a while. Birth control pills may also contribute the the formation of varicose veins and spider veins. It may be possible for your physician to switch you to a lower dose pill which may reduce side effects.

Question 4

i lutera birth control about 3-4 months ago. this cycle my breasts have continued to be sore through the end of my period and they also feel heavy and hard. is this a bad sign? the veins in my chest and breasts are also more visible through my skin.

Accepted Answer

Not really: I believe that you are saying that you just started Lutera and are continuing on it, at present.  Typically women may experience some breast tenderness either premenstrually and/or when they are new to the pill.  Lutera is a 20ug estrogen pill - one of the lower dose pills on the market.  You may consider going on a 10ug pill.  Did you have a recent weight change - that could account this too.

Question 5

i have blue veins on my breasts and they have been sore for a few weeks. i am on my period now and also on the birth control pill. why are they sore?

Accepted Answer

Maybe you need to: check for pregnancy.  If first test negative, then check again in 1 week.  It is always good to assume that you may be pregnant, since breast tenderness is one of the first signs of pregnancy.  If both tests are negative, and you have a period, then you know you are not pregnant.  Breast tenderness can also come from hormonal imbalance and overstimulation, or infection if it is just one breast.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: They all do not. And most much less than 40 years ago aas they are made better and better.

Question 7

what birth control makes your breast grow largest?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: Are you interested in birth control or plastic surgery?

Question 8

does the birth control patch make your breast bigger?

Accepted Answer

Patch: any hormonal manipulation may increase breast size speak with your gynecologist if concerned

Question 9

are breast supposed to grow while using birth control?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Some oral contraceptives can be associated with increase in breast size in some women (sometimes).

Question 10

do estrogen-containing birth control pills enlarge breasts?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Depends on how much estrogen, the higher the estrogen the more chance it can enlarge the breats but it can also cause other non desirable effects , you should not be taking bc pills to enlatrge the breast, and at your age the lower the estrogen dose the safer, the lowest combo pill is loloestrin , only 10 mcg estrogen- safer for women in their 40s less chance blood clot , ht attack, stroke.
