A member asked:

My last period was about 10 days ago but my boobs have really become swollen and sore to touch. could it be because of these birth control pills?

Possibly: Or you could be pregnant if your birth control was not taken regularly at same time each day. Or if you had a rare failure of birth control.

Yes: Breast tenderness is a side effect of birth control pills, especially in the first 1-3 months of use. It typically resolves quickly.
