Benefits

Prevent pregnancy. First and foremost, birth control pills are one of the most effective forms of reversible birth control. If used correctly, the odds are that only five in 1,000 women is likely to get pregnant in the first year of use.

Improve your menstrual cycle. Birth control pills can improve your menstrual cycle in at least for ways, including:

less bleeding during periods; one product is designed to eliminate your periods entirely

more regular and consistent menstrual cycle patterns

relief from pelvic pain during menstruation

relief from primarily mood-related symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a condition that causes many of the same symptoms as PMS, but with more intensity. A combination oral contraceptive containing drospirenone, a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, a form of estrogen, was recently approved by the FDA. Known as "YAZ," this OC was shown to be clinically effective both for the prevention of pregnancy and for the emotional and physical symptoms of PMDD.

Prevent cancer. Birth control pills have been shown to protect women from ovarian and uterine cancer, and possibly from colorectal cancer.

Improve bone density. Some studies have shown that it's possible that bone density improves while taking birth control pills. However, it has not been shown that BCPs make a difference in reducing bone fractures.

Protect you from ovarian cysts. If you take BCPs, you may have about one-fifth less risk for developing ovarian cysts than women using nonhormonal methods of contraception, such as diaphragms or condoms. Women using low-dose pills (20 mcg of estrogen) or multiphasic pills may not get the same benefit.

Risks

Heart attack. The chances of BCPs contributing to a heart attack are small (less than three additional heart attacks per million American women per year) unless you smoke. Studies have shown that smoking dramatically increases the risk of heart attack in women age 35 years or older, which is why BCPs are generally not prescribed to women in this age group who smoke. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) notes that POPs may be appropriate for women with coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or cerebrovascular disease. However, combined pills are not recommended for these women.

Ischemic stroke. There is a small, but significant increase in ischemic stroke risk when using birth control pills. This was a particular concern with early oral contraceptives that contained higher doses of estrogen, but newer preparations containing less estrogen are associated with a lower risk of stroke. In otherwise healthy young women (non-smokers without persistent high blood pressure), the risk is low.

Migraines and stroke. Women who take oral contraceptive and have a history of migraines have an increased risk of stroke compared to nonusers with a history of migraine. Your risk is greatest if you have migraines with "aura"--neurologic symptoms related to vision, such as blurred vision, temporary loss of vision or seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines. As a result, both the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have concluded that for women over age 35 who get migraines, the risks of BCPs use usually outweigh the benefits.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE). This rare condition causes clots to form in your blood vessels and can cause symptoms including pain, swelling, and varicose veins, and may block the flow of blood. The risk may vary with the type of progestin used in the pill.

Worsen severe diabetes. The estrogen in birth control pills may increase glucose levels while decreasing the body's insulin response, while the progestin in the pills may encourage overproduction of insulin. Use of birth control pills by diabetic women should be limited to those who do not smoke, are younger than 35 and are otherwise healthy with no evidence of persistent high blood pressure, kidney disease, vision problems or other vascular disease.

Possible acceleration of gallbladder disease. Estrogen may cause bile to become oversaturated with cholesterol, which can lead to gallstones.

No decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Birth control pills do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). But women who use birth control pills are less likely to develop symptomatic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes or other reproductive organs. PID is a complication of STIs, especially chlamydia or gonorrhea, and may make you to infertile or cause chronic pain. If you are at risk for contracting an STI, you should consider

Answer

No contraceptive pills will give you bigger b*****s - not so you notice anyway!

It is true that during pregnancy the b*****s increase under the influence of the hormones but they lose their increased size after the birth of the baby. I know of no reliable safe way to increase the size of your b*****s with pills. But ask yourself about your self-image and sense of self-worth. Your boyfriend loves you the way you are - maybe you are perfectly lovable this shape - and wouldn't be any more lovable if you were a different shape!

I know that breast size can impact on your sense of self-worth but the things you can do to build your self-esteem are safer and more effective than the things you can do to build up the size of your b*****s.
