Question about OTCLo
| Fri, 09-03-2004 - 1:26pm |
I have been on OTC Lo for 6 months now. I had no side effects during the first 4 months, but the last 2 months I have had some strange side effects. I have tenderness in one breast only and only in one location. I never experienced this before. I spoke with the nurse at the Drs office and she said this was normal. The tenderness occurs during weeks 1 and 2 and starts to taper off during week 3. Has anyone else had this experience? I also get extremely nauseous during the first week of pills. I am wondering if it is time to try something else. Any suggestions?

We have has members post about having side effects from hormonal contraceptives long after side effects that are common during the first 2-3 cycles have disappeared. Have you increased your consumption of foods and beverages containing caffeine? Caffeine can cause any cysts in breasts to be more sensitive. If a diet change doesn't work then perhaps a pill switch might work for you. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Hugs,

Good luck,
