Q: Extremely sore breasts on pill

So, I don't know what's going on.
My breasts have been UNBELIEVABLY sore for.... 4 weeks.
I'm three weeks in to my birth control pack that my doctor gave me for my cysts, but I still can't figure out why they hurt.

I've heard people say "Its because of THE PILL".
But I don't know, a week before I start taking them?

YES if it helps you with advice, I am sexually active.
Pregnant?
Doubt it.
But if I am, it will be HELL to find out because I'll have to wait 3 months for a period.
*The doctor gave me seasonique*

I have FURTHER information for questions you want to ask.
But PLEASE please please, send them in private messages.

Do you experience ovarian cysts? Or cysts of the breasts? I'm a bit confused.

I found an excellent resource for learning about ovarian cysts. Check out the overviews and educate yourself about what is happening in your body, and then you'll know how to approach your gynecologist with questions the next time that you return.

I have the same problem with the sore breast. I've been on birth control for 3 months now, and mine still hurt. I was told that it's from the hormones that the pill puts in your body, something about your body being tricked into thinking it's pregnant. But It will go way eventually.
