I'm a 19-year-old female with a small bust and I'm curious if estrogen pills actually work to increase breast size. I've seen articles saying they do but I'm not sure about their safety. Can you recommend any specific ones if they're effective and what side effects should I watch out for? I'd prefer not to get surgery and I'm 54 kg and 43 kg so I want something natural.
