A member asked:

I have a question. my cycle is late 5days and my breast have been sore. what could be going on.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your medications: show that you are on both Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) and Birth Control Pills. Your periods can be irregular or non existent on Depo and your breasts can be sore from the BCPs. Not knowing if you are on both or none, you also may want to take a pregnancy test if you are sexually active.
