    Default Progestin-only birth control pills?

    Hi ladies!! I've just decided that it's finally time to go on birth control pills...unfortunately, since I used to get migraines with a visual aura when I was younger, I can't go on combination estrogen-progestin pills. This leaves me with one option as far as the pills go, progestin only pills.

    I've heard, unfortuntely, that often, the side effects of these pills are worse than those from the combo pills...so I'm wondering if anyone here has used progestin only pills, and what the side effects were like for them.

    Oh, and one more thing-did you notice any breast growth after taking them? (::keeps fingers crossed

    Thanks a bunch!!

    The link mentions this but it's very important: With the POP (progestin-only pill) there is no leeway. It absolutely has to be taken at the same time every day, if not, it's effectiveness drops.

    I keep on wanting to go on the combo pill for breast growth (among many other things) but isn't it the estrogen that grows the girls? I could be wrong, and for your sake I hope I am.
