Sore Left Breast BCP Related??

Last Saturday night I was in a wedding wearing a strapless dress. I was in a very uncomfortable strapless bra (keep in mind I'm a 38D). The next day the upper part of my left breast was sore. I blamed part of it on my uncomfortable bra and part to my BCP. I will tell you my left breast is larger than my right and I can tell this only when they swell. (I know TMI) I do from time to time get sore breasts (both breasts) while on my pill. This time it's only one. It went away by Tuesday but is back now if a different part of my breast. I didn't do my monthly exam around my normal time this month I just forgot. I've checked both breasts and can't find any sort of lumps. The pain is worse tonight (was fine all day) I am the end of week 2 on my pills. Tri-Sprintec (generic of Ortho-Tri Cyclen). It's not a sharp pain or anything just kind of annoying. I'm thinking it's BCP related but not sure.
Anyone else experience only one swollen or sore breast from their BCPS???
Thanks!

I can't explain your symptoms being in only one breast unless perhaps your bra really, really pinched or you have cysts. Are you consuming more caffeine; sodas, chocolate, coffee or more salty snacks? That can lead to swelling and tenderness. Where I am in my cycle will also affect the sensitivity of my breasts. I hope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for posting.
Take care,

No I have not been consuming more chocolate or coffee lately. I may after Halloween though? Depends on how many trick or treaters we get. Just Kidding :)
I did take 2 Extra Strength Tylenol at 7:15 PM tonight and it's now 8:50 and the pain is gone. Does that mean I have cysts? Would I have able to feel a bump or lump? I'm scheduled for my annual exam with my ob on 12/6 so I can talk with her then. But if the pain persists or gets worse next week I'll be calling sooner.
Thanks!
