A member asked:
I'm on microgestin lo, about to finish up my 3rd week. i've experienced breast swelling, is it possible for that to subside while still on the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The fourth week consists of sugar only and are inactive. You will have a withdrawal bleed due to decreasing hormone levels. Most of the symptoms will subside. if it is uncomfortable, discuss changing to a lower dose estrogen pill or a progesterone only device.
