Birthcontroll/breast growth

I started birth control, about two weeks ago tomorrow.
I'm on Ortho Novum, and I was wondering if birth controll can have effects on making your breast grow?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
But mine had gotten a bit smaller a month or so ago, but now they're back up to size/bigger.

This is definitely not a stupid question. It's definitely a normal side effect of some forms of birth control - one that I have had in the past as well.

hormones can definitely affect breast size. my boobs are normal size until the last week before my period, when the progesterone makes them swell and they get huge! then they go back to normal a day before my period.

Mine swell like crazy on HBC... OTC led to major and painful swelling, Marvelon has been much more minor. It's a very common side effect, though not all women experience it, and those that do experience it differently. Sometimes it will go away in weeks or months, some women may continue to experience it.

I went up a cup size. It annoyed me, since I really really liked my bras, but I'm glad it makes you happy =).

Mine grew a cup size the first month I was on it. Nothing to worry about.
