A member asked:

I had unprotected sex but took all my birth control pills correctly, i had sex again and used emergency contraceptive but my breasts hurt, what does

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High hormone levels: Emergency bc and regular birth control have hormones. Too high levels of hormones cause side effects. Sounds to me as if you don't trust your pills. If u take every day, if you miss. Consider long acting options of iud and implant. They're the most effective and easy!
