A member asked:

I have been on birth control for about 9 months and i was switched from sronyx to orsythia since then i've gained weight and had an increase in breast

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same OCP: Both Sronyx and orsythia have 20mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.2mg of levonorgestrel. They are the same, but with a different brand name. You should investigate other causes of weight gain and increase in breast size such as pregnancy and low thyroid hormone levels.

I just took my 3rd dosage of my birth control shot (depo) about three weeks ago. Just within the last week I have noticed my breasts feel a little Fuller? Could this possibly be caused by the shot? Possibly due to gaining some weight?
