Took Microgestin Fe And Noticed Increase In Size Of Breast. Is It Normal?
Question: Just started the Pill...already noticed breast growth. Is this normal?
I started taking Microgestin Fe 1/20 on sunday as my first birth control pill ever. Already I notice an increase in size in my breasts. Is this normal to happen so soon? It's only been 4 days. I really don't want to gain weight either and I heard this is a common side effect. Is this true?
