Can birth control increase breast size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,somewhat: Oral contraceptives are hormones. Hormones are steroids. There are estrogen and Progesterone receptors in the breast and they respond to the hormones you are taking. This is limited, however, depending on the pill and the dosage of hormones.
