Have you experienced this on the pill?

Hey girls, hopefully somebody will be able to help shed some light on my question.
I've been on Ortho Tricyclen for about a year and a half now with little difficulty... I take my pills religiously at the exact same time everyday, have never missed a pill and haven't been taking any antibiotics etc etc that could have affected my pill use. Plus my boyfriend and I don't get "frisky" (lol) without a condom, ever.
So here is where the quesiton comes in...
I really have no reason to believe that I am pregnant, however on the second of my 4 weeks of pills I started to have a tiny bit of soreness of my nipples only, something that used to happen to me frequently before I was on the pill, right before I was about to get my period (it kinda signalled to me when I was about to get it). This has happened to me once before on the pill, about six months ago, and everything turned out okay. But I am worried since they say one of the early signs of pregnancy is breast tenderness.
Since I haven't frequently had PMS symptoms while on the pill (although I know it is possible), I am kinda worried. I wanted to know if anyone else sporadically experienced similar symptoms while on the pill for an extended period of time, without having experienced them before. I know that this can also be attributed to hormonal changes not related to the pill, and to the pill itself, so I'm not so worried yet. Plus it began only a couple of hours after the first time I had had sex this cycle, and I was until then "cleared" from pregnancy. But anyway, input that anybody could give to me would be greatly appreciated. I'm a natural born worrier... you all know how it is I'm sure!!
Thanks all!!
