I had my gyno appointment today, and I asked her to switch me to a different brand of birth control. I asked for one that would hopefully boost my libido a bit, so she’s having me try Alesse. She said that I will get bigger breasts on Alesse too. I was just wondering if any of you had tried Alesse.
I was on alesse and my sex drive was more than ok, i didn't grow facial hair, no skin problems, but it did make my breasts bigger, so watch for that. While I was on Alesse cramps went away, period went from crazy heavy to normal. Anyway, you really can't tell how a pill is going to affect you until you try it.
I am also satisfied with those pills. I was sure that I am going to gain a weight while I am on the pills, but guess what - nothing happened, thank God. I am starting to believe that actually birth control that doesn't make you gain weight are all of the birth control pills indeed. Now, when I look back, I can say that my breasts were also bigger, maybe that is because of the hormonal impact, I don't know. But, for sure, you are not the only one and I am starting to believe that this is all normal.
With the growth comes tenderness and being sore daily though.
Alesse definitely made my breasts noticeably bigger, and I had D's to begin with! I had weird mood swings too and I don't know if I just got used to them or if they went away after a few months. It definitely helped in having lighter periods, but I gained weight on the pill as well. After a couple of years of taking it, I'm now going off of it.
