what causes the breast soreness?

so i was wondering what it is yasmin that causes breast soreness. mine were excruciatingly (is that even a word?)sore while on yasmin. that's the only reason i went off. i am certain it was the yasmin. i don't consume caffeine and i've been on several pills that did not have this effect (it was constant, not just during my period).
the reason i ask is that i am interested in yaz, but i know that it is very similar to yasmine, with lower estrogen. if it is going to cause the same breast tenderness i don't want to try it.
thanks

thanks. my dr already gave me 2 samples of loestrin 24, which i don't think i will like since it's the same as the first doses in esrtostep and i didn't like estrostep at all, but i said i would try them with an open mind. so i think after them i will ask for yaz. i'll let you know how it goes. thanks again

If you like this formulation, except for the breast tenderness, you might ask your doc about vitamin E suppliments. I had some issues with that, and with fibrocystic breast disease, and the vitamin E helped a lot.

Sometimes it can also be a combination of the progestin and the estrogen.
