Breast Sensitive
| Thu, 07-15-2004 - 12:05pm |
My breasts for at least the last 3 days have been very sensitive. My nipples stay erect almost all of the time and are very sensitive. My breasts itch a lot, especially when I'm laying on them or wearing clothing of any sort. Also, my breasts feel a bit more "swollen" than usual. I do recall that I did gain about 6-8 lbs on my last Dr visit, which was several weeks ago.
I'm currently on BCP (mini-pill - no placebo pills), I sometimes dont have a period...sometimes I have a small light period. I dont recall the exact date right now, but my last period was in mid to late June. I missed a few pills around the time of my period, and I do recall having sex once or twice with my boyfriend around that time.
The cause for my concern is because obviously I dont normally get PMS or this type of (or this much) of breast sensitivity. When I get my period (if I do at all), it normally surprises me.
Any thoughts, advice, ideas, etc...please? Thanks!

Missing several pills while taking progestin only pills (POPs) can put you at considerable risk since a POP only suppresses ovulation about 50% of the time when taken correctly. If I were you I'd test as soon as you can to see where you are. I hope you get the result you want. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck and hugs,
Jill
Thank you for your response and advice! I am curious about when the best time to take a pregnancy test is...? I mean, since I am on BCP's, my periods are sometimes unpredictable, so I hope I take the test at a time that it will be accurate.... And from what I've heard before, it is best to take the test in the mornings?
Thanks again!
Hugs,
Jill
