Hey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.

I'm 21 and currently a B cup are there any safe natural ways or medicines from ayurveda, homeopathy, or allopathy to increase breast size without surgery? Really hesitant about surgical options, so looking for alternatives.
While natural methods and some supplements may enhance breast appearance or muscle tone, they rarely, if ever, lead to significant breast size increase. Breast size is primarily determined by genetics and hormones, and these factors are difficult to alter without medical intervention
