The pill

You boobs get bigger - and not just at certain times of the month.

No other side effects that I have experienced.

What is your pill called? my bloody boobs didn't get bigger, i could do with your pill!

Microgynon makes most people's boobs grow.

That's weird, I haven't put on any weight and I've been on it for 4 years. You should definately go to your doc.

I've been on Microgynon for years and didn't notice any change until I recently had to run through three packets of pills without a break. I wouldn't suggest you do this, though, until you've been on the same pill for a while and know you're not going to suffer from side effects.

It's great, i've somehow managed to increase the amount i eat (by like three times!) and am losing weight so quickly...plus my boobs have grown, i've gone up to a D and the rest of me is shrinking! God bless microgonyn 30.

How the hell has that happened? My pill does the total opposite, i put weight on and my boobs do not grow in the slightest and i really want them to.

no period for a year??? my god, that cant be healthy

Are you on microgynon though? Cos all pills are different. It made my boobs grow, but it also made me put on weight as well, but only from a size 8 -> 10, so I wasn't too bothered.

why?

If you're pregnant you might go without periods for a year - the pill (and the injection and implant) just makes your body think you're pregnant.

Without contraception most women would spend the majority of their lifetime either pregnant or lactating...to mimic that state to stop yourself becoming pregnant makes sense.

No, im on Noramin. Iv gone from an 8 to a 10 but the size has gone on my hips and not my boobs unfortunately

one of my friends always takes two packets together, as she has awful periods and so then she only has to have half as many! Her doctor suggested it, i think.

I been to a clinic today and I was just wondering what type of pill some people may be on... and are there any side effects?

I was on dianette, intially for my skin but then I kept taking it as a contraceptive as I got older. When I came to uni last month and went for my checkup with the nurse she told me that she couldnt give me a repeat prescription for dianette because the docters don't like prescribing it any more as it apparantly has a greater risk of thrombosis than other pills - especially as I had been on it for more than a year. Some docters don't seem to mind but the nurse said the ones here don't like it. So i made an appointment with the docter and he changed the pill to Cilest which he says should be as good for my skin......so far I haven't noticed any change but we'll see.

Other than that I haven't had any other major side effects from the pill. My boobs have got a little bit bigger but not much and I may have put on a tiny bit of wait but if i have it's so small that I can't really tell if its just normal wait gain or because of the pill.

My doctor said that dianette isnt prescribed as the pill anymore as its slightly less effective and that its prescibed largely for it miracle effect on the skin. i now ask for dianette for my skin but i use condoms as well so its a bonus that it has a contraceptive effect.

i'm on dianette and i heard all this about it being not as effective and how you shouldn't take it for too long and i asked my doctor he said it was fine! i don't know if it's because it's actually FOR your skin but hte contraceptive is a side effect...
