A member asked:
Which birth control is most likely to make you gain weight and/or increase breast size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High estrogen: Birth control pills containing higher levels of estrogen are more likely to cause weight gain and breast augmentation in patients with estrogen sensitive breasts. However this may also increase the risks of blood clots and facial pigmentation as well as the potential for stimulating a small, not yet detectable, breast cancer.
