A member asked:
Are really tender breasts a side effect of the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes its common: It's common to have mastalgia (or painful breasts) if you are taking birth control pills. It often does go away after your body gets used to the hormone changes. If the pain gets severe then go back to your physician and see what other form of birth control might work.
