breast enhancement supplements?
Okay so I'm pretty skeptical about breast enhancement supplements actually working because I feel like a lot of people don't think they work but I know a lot of women who have gone on birth control and their breasts get noticeably bigger. If they use similar hormones in breast enhancement supplements as birth control than shouldn't breast enhancement supplements work too? Has anyone tried them or know someone who has? They're pretty expensive to try if they don't work

There is little or no evidence that breast enlargement products work. And if they work, there is no evidence they are safe.
There is a good discussion of frequent ingredients (mosty herbal) at: about.com under
alternative medicine. Many ingredents are herbs that have been used to increase milk production in nursing mothers for centuries...not exaclty the change you're lookiing for.
You breast size was determined by your genetic mix before you were born.

Two problems:
The first one being that not ALL women respond to birth control with swollen breasts, and even for those who do, the swelling tends to be uncomfortable -- and most noticeable size increase is also more likely to be connected to weight gain than swelling. Many women gain weight in their breasts before it becomes noticeable anywhere else.
The second is that 'supplements' cannot actually use the same ingredients used in proper, regulated medication like birth control. They use language that implies they do, or they pretend they found something 'safe and natural' that does that same thing, but that's just bullshit. They couldn't possibly use something that behaved like a hormone without going through a much more rigorous and strict approval process that might even have ended up with a prescription being needed to get the pills, so from a business point of view, there is no incentive for companies to use the same (effective) hormones as are in birth control - just to try and make it sound like they do.
Finally, you have to appreciate that swelling is not the same as 'getting larger'. A good example are the lipsticks that claim to make your lips plumper - many of them do work for a lot of people (although not all) at least for a while, but eventually the body gets used to the irritant used to caused the swelling and they stop being effective.
I do know one or two people who've tried supplements, with no change at all except to their bank balance of course. It simply isn't medically possible to grow tissue in one area of the body like that - swelling is possible but unlikely, but that isn't actually growth.
