Q about skipping Period/Breast Pain

Hi there,

I recently took my 2 packs of yasmin continuously to skip my period for a wedding. About a week into my 2nd pack of pills, I noticed my breasts were swollen and VERY tender. Im pretty sure I'm not pregnant (no sex sort of guarantees that) but was wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue because its INCREDIBLY uncomfortable and sort of makes me not want to skip again! (I've been on yasmin for 2 years, fyi, and skipped once before with no problem).

Thanks for any input! I appreciate it!

I'm on my third pack of yasmin and i have the same problem. The side effects say that you may experience breast tenderness but not breast swelling. I have gone up an entire bra size since starting this medicine. But my breasts haven't been quite as sore since i've been on my inactive pills. i hope you start to feel better and the situation doesn't happen again

Is anything else different this time than the last time that you switched?
