Breast tenderness, etc. on the pill
| Mon, 08-02-2004 - 10:20am |
I'm in the middle of my third month on otc lo, and recently I've noticed that my breasts seem fuller and have been *very* tender. I have experienced mild breast tenderness basically since the beginning of my second month on the pill, but the extra tenderness and the growth is making me uncomfortable (and slightly nervous because I know sudden tenderness and growth is also a common first sign of pregnancy). I know the pill can affect breasts, but is it normal for breasts to get extra tender and extra full after being on the pill for a few months? Does the tenderness tend to subside?

anyway, if you HAVE cause for concern (sex without another form of BC) ANd perhaps you don't take the pill at the SAME time every day...then i wouldn't waste any time getting to the drug store for a HPT. plus, the more you have stresses, the more your body might react to it causing you MORE side-effects!
If it helps any, I'm in the same boat as you some time, I get breast tenderness from the pill and I start thinking "Hmm...what if I'm pregnant?". I talked to my doctor she said it's just the pill.
