A member asked:
Could too much estrogen&progesterone in bcp cause pregnancy symptoms: veiny breasts/hips, bloating/distended stomach, more visible montgomery glands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly: Every woman is different, and not every OCP is appropriate for every woman. There are may OCPs out there with differences in the types and dosages of estrogen/progesterone. It is absolutely appropriate to try a different strength and or progestin and see if these symptoms resolve.
