wondering if someone could please give me some advice.

on march 15th my breasts started to ache, tingle, and hurt really bad. i have nevetr experienced anything like it before. they were super sensitive. they felt like this every single day up until march 22...now it is fine. this is the only real symptom i think ive had. i have been urinating alot but that doesnt seem to be weird to me.

i am due to have my period on march 27/28.....i have never experienced breast tenderness with PMS EVER before but one thing i do experience with PMS is i get acne on my chin...never do i get acne unless i am PMS'ing...and i broke out on march 16/17 or so.

i am wondering how much i should be worried...im on birth control (i never miss a pill)...but my bf and me, when we have sex, we dont use protection but he pulls out.

can anyone help?

sorry, i also forgot to mention...the 1st day of my last period was on Feb. 27/28...when i started my new pill pack (sunday start), i took sunday's pill on monday.

another thing, was i was on a Corticosteroid eye drop and also an antibiotic eye drop between Feb.14-Mar 1/2....i did go to the pharmacy the other day to ask if they would have interacted with my Tri-Cyclen birth control and they said it wouldnt.

i also should mention, that in that time when I was taking the eye drops, i was feel quite dizzy, i figured it to be from wearing my glasses instead of contacts...but like I said on Feb 27/28 i started my last period and it was full and regular.

I doubt it from what you said if you were PG. It is usually oral antibiotics that will lessen the effectiveness. Your breast tenderness sounds like you were ovulating around that time.

From the info you've given, it doesn't sound like you're pg. The pharmacy was right; eye drop antibiotic would not decrease the effectiveness of your bcp. While taking the 1st week of pills incorrectly may increase the likelihood of pregnancy, missing the first pill and doubling up the next wouldn't pose too much of a risk. As long as you stayed on course after that, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. If you're still not sure, then wait until af is due b4 you test.
