On birth control. having really really sore breasts. negative pregnancy test as well. why? what can i do about it?

Breast tenderness: Intermittent breast tenderness is a common occurrence in women during various stages of their menstrual cycle or while on birth control. These changes are due to hormonal fluctuations, and can be made worse by excessive caffeine use. Ibuprofen or similar anti inflammatory medications with hot or cold compresses may help.
