Breast tenderness during ovulation?
| Wed, 01-17-2007 - 2:55pm |
Hi there,
I am on the birth control pill and yesterday I experienced brief breast tenderness. It's been about two weeks after my period started...does this mean I am ovulating?? I have not missed a pill however...could it just be a side effect of the pill?

That happens to me sometimes. It seems to go away after I exercise. I don't know why that is. I don't know that it means you're ovulating. I just thought maybe the estrogen in the pills was causing the tenderness. (I think I read that somewhere.) Anyway, a 30 minute workout and a hot bath seems to alleviate the tenderness for me. Also, the breast tenderness was worse on Yaz than it is on Loestrin 24/FE. Again, I have no idea why.
Hope that helps a little!
