Ortho-Evra Question

[Shadowann2]

So my boobs got bigger...

and I think it's because of my birth control!

I have been on the Ortho-Evra patch for about 3 months and about a week and a half ago my breast began to hurt really bad. They became so sore and tender that just walking without a bra hurt! Then I noticed that they seemed to be bigger and my husband agreed. It seemed that I was poping out of my bra. Sure enough, when I went to the store and tried on a bra the next cup size up from what I've been wearing for years, it fit! I'm just flabergasted!

Have any women on the patch had this happen to them? I figure it has to be because of the patch.....I can't think of anything else that would cause my breasts to grow at my age! I don't know anyone else on the patch to ask, so I'm asking all of you!

OK, so it must just be me!

Nope, it is a common side effect of bc in general.

When I saw the thread Ortho....I thought you were talking about a fertilizer or weed killer

I think I looked at the title 3 or 4 times.......and then curiosity got the better of me..........boy, was I surprised.............oh, and no, I have no idea why at your age your breasts would grow.............I think I would be more concerned about the pain..............
