Breast growth: BC ?: Female hormones such as estrogen and progestins are contained in oral contraceptives. Depending on the amount of such in the oral contraceptives, there may be corresponding effects on breast tissue. Taking "female hormones" on a random basis are not effective dependably as a birth control method.
