sore breasts due to birth control?

[slut-boy-will.livejournal.com]

i posted a few weeks back asking if it was ok to take 3 packs of bc in a row, and i am about to finish the second lot, due to start placebo pills this wednesday, and still intend to continue with next packet then.

this is not really part of my problem, more a sort of symptom i guess. because oh my god are my boobs sore!! hehe!!
theyve always gotten fairly sore and heavy and grown a bit, right before my period, but i guess as i havent had my period they are like storing the heavy-ness until i do? i dont know, thats kinda the theory my heads come up with! all i know for sure is that when i take off my bra of an evening they hurt and are uncomfatable and its just not good

so i was wondering if there was anything i can do to make them hurt less. also this would be helpfull on ordinary months too to help ease the normal soreness

thank you for any help =]

It's a very common side effect of bc and just periods/pms in general. I would suggest keeping a bra on, especially when you sleep. Maybe try a sports bra instead of a normal bra so it's more comfortable but still offers support.

Hope that helps a little. I get sore breasts during my cycle, but since I have kinda big boobs I always sleep with at least a built in bra. :-P

Magnesium and calcium supplements can be very helpful in preventing/helping with breast tenderness, because they're natural anti-inflammatories. I've found them to be very helpful in the past. I had the same thing happen when I skipped my period. :)

Evening Primrose Oil is also supposed to be very helpful. You can get any of these in the vitamin aisle.
