Hey,

I have been on The birth Control Shot for a little over 4 months now. My breasts expereince Sharp Stabbing pains in them Not always in one particular spot. They usually only last about 30-45 minutes but lately longer. It has been doing this off and on for 3 to 4 weeks and seems to be getting worste. I thought it was caffine and i have cut off on that. Tonight it has been just one sharp pain for about 45 minutes and then very little pain for like 5 then sharp for another 45 minutes. Sometimes I wake up in the Middle of the night with sharp pains. I can not sleep or move or anything when they hurt bad i have to stay still and preferably lay on my back. I have tried showers and aspirin but it doesnt help. I hope you all could help me out thank you.

I have had this as well started about a week ago in my left breast it happens mostly as night when i go to bed and in the morning or when i bend right forward . I can only describe it as a sensation of a sharp needle being pushed from the inside . I have the implant contraception which carries the same hormones as the shot so i wonder if this is some thing to do with it , i am a bit scared to go to my g.p .

Which type of contraceptive implants you have?
When did you get the implant?
Breast tenderness is a side effect of having contraceptive implant (approximately 1 in 15 users experience this as a side effect).
