Sore breasts with birth control Posted: 03-31-08 21:40pm
I've been using Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo for
about 6 months. Never used the pill before
this. My breasts used to hurt a lot before
my period even before I was on birth
control. Now it seems that they never
freakin stop hurting! I have never missed
a single pill, my boyfriend always uses a
condom. We don't even fool around without
a condom. So, I'm thinking that maybe the
hormones from the pill are making my
breasts sore.
It's very irritating, because my breasts
always seem to ache, especially over the
past 2 months. I had a doctors visit about
a month ago for what I thought was a
kidney infection (turned out to be a
hip-joint problem) and I took a urine
test. Not pregnant. My breasts hurt the
same then as they do now, I'm just getting
really tired of it. I worry about this,
not knowing if it is normal to have such a
side effect from birth control and having
it for so long after starting the pill.
Has anyone else had such pain or
problems related to birth control? I'd
love some advice or even just a personal
comment. Like I said, never did birth
control before this and I'm still very in
the dark on some issues.
Please leave a comment, thanks! =)

You are right about the hormones causing
the soreness in your breasts. Have you
spoken with your doctor about this?
Perhaps another bc would cause less breast
tenderness. I remember when I was using bc
pill it caused major breast tenderness. I
wish I could offer more help.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't talked to
my doctor yet about switching bc. I have
to wait until I can afford to go for a
visit and exam. Sucks, but if it keeps
driving me insane I'll just have to bite
the bullet and go.
