Hi everyone! It has been a few months since I have been on this board, as I have been so busy with school and wedding planning. I hope everyone is doing well!
I have a quick question. I am on Yasmin, and while it has been excellent at controlling my breakthrough bleeding, I've noticed in the past two months (pack 3 and 4) that I have had extremely sore breasts while on the active pills. I feel like they are very swollen (although I know they are not, as all of my bras fit the same), and they are often sensitive to touch. The pain was much worse in pack 4 than in pack 3.
My problem is that I don't want to switch pills right now, because I am only a month from my wedding and I don't want to deal with any possible side effects of switching. So, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to relieve or prevent this pain? Just fyi, I am about to start my 5th pack of Yasmin, so I am aware that it could subside on its own, and could still be my body adjusting to the new hormones. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Ashley, welcome back,

AHA! I have never even thought of caffiene being the culprit.. Thanks Jill! I am going to try to cut down on it this month and see if it helps, if not I'll change after the wedding!
Buttercup, what pill are you on now? Has it helped?
Thank you both for the advice and have a nice Memorial Day Weekend!
