Sore breasts with birth control Posted: 03-31-08 21:52pm
Hi! I just posted this same question in
the breast forum, but seeing as how this
has to do with birth control, I will also
post here.
I started using Othro Tri-cyclen Lo 6
months ago. Never used birth control
before this. My breasts used to hurt a lot
before my period before I was on birth
control. Well, they still hurt, but now it
seems like they just don't stop hurting!!
The past 2 months or so my breasts have
hurt more days than usual; rather than
just hurting about a week before my
period, they hurt all the time, some days
worse than others. At first I thought it
was a stupid bra I was wearing that had
some wicked underwire and just didn't fit
too well, but I've stopped wearing the bar
and my breasts are still sore. They hurt
mainly on the outter sides and underneath.
I have never missed a pill, and my
boyfriend and I always use a condom,
everytime, even if we just fool around. I
went to the doctor about a month ago on an
unrelated issue and took a urine test, not
pregnant. My breasts hurt the same then as
they do now. I am so sick of my girls
hurting, it's so irriatating!
Has anyone else had similiar
experiences with birth control? I am new
to this and totally in the dark.
Any comment would be welcome!
Thanks, and here's hoping for no more
breast pain!

Yes, this is one of the side effects of
birth control. Hormonal birth control
tricks your body into thinking it is
pregnant, and so many of the side effects
of birth control are very similar to
pregnancy symptoms, including sore breasts
and mood swings.

Thanks for the reply! I thought this much
could be true, but wasn't sure.
