Hi everyone. I was on Yasmin for 2 1/2 years. I had really painful periods, so my Dr. decided to put me on Seasonique. I started taking Seasonique and had a barrage of bizarre side effects in the beginning of the second month. Constant heavy bleeding, I gained about 6 pounds, my boobs were killing me, extremely emotional, and bad cramps. When it came around to the third week of this (never stopped bleeding,) I called my Dr and told her of the side effects. She said the dosage was probably wrong for me, and put me back on Yasmin. I started it IMMEDIATELY (on Dr.'s orders,) and am now on my third week of Yasmin. In the first/second week of Yasmin, these side effects dissipated, for the most part. My question is this:
Now, my breasts are REALLY sore. Really sore, and swollen. They usually get a bit tender before my period, but not this bad. The only time I can remember them hurting this much was when I was pregnant, (and in that fifth week of Seasonique,) and I can't help but feel some concern. I haven't had any other of pregnancy really, no cramping or anything like that. But then again, that was the only sign I had last time.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I was sexually active throughout the course of this, except for the days I was bleeding.
Is this just my body reacting to an insane mix up of hormones, or could I be pregnant, getting signs THIS early on?
