Soonish i want to go underwear shopping but i've recently started a course of microgynon 30 a progestogen dominant pill.Is it an idea to wait and see what happens to cup size or should i just go and buy some new bras anyways?
-
Does the contraceptive pill affect bra size?
-
It depends how much oestrogen (estrogen in North America) is in it. It rarely has much effect, though - perhaps half a cup size at most.

Best wait for your cub size to sort itself out and get comfortable before you go and buy a new wardrobe worth :).Da Hawk

alrighty thanks for the good advice ^^apparently there's no correlation between taking the pill and weight gain, more rather the woman becomes settled in a comfortable relationship so lets herself go.I don't know how true this is or not im just going by my gp's advice

Going against all of the other advice, when I went on microgynon 30 I went up 3 cup sizes - and that was nothing to do with weight gain. Maybe wait a little while lol!

I think progestogen has more of an effect on bra size though, as it is this hormone which is released during pregnancy which aids the breasts swelling.Im on a primarily progestogen based pill as i am already very high in oestrogen levels, which is why i think that it will affect bra size :S (God i hope not though lol) Thanks for the advice though
