Q: Sore Boobs?

I have been on birth control for a few months now.
And i'm just curious, is it normal for my boobs to get
sore and tender like 3 months into using birth control.
I mean, my boobs do get slightly tender a few days before
my period but at this point I still have a week and a bit before
i get my period.
Has anyone experienced this on bc?

The way birth control works is it tricks your body into thinking that its pregnant while on the active pills. So many women experience pregnancy like symptoms, sore breasts being included.

Aaaaah alright, well that would make a lot of sense.
So having to pee frequently today might also be another
symptom?
Hahah thanks for the help.
